The truth!

You have to check out this post on Skwigg's blog. It's eye-opening and something everyone should see. And it goes along with one of my favorite quotes, which reads:

Perfection is not of this world.

So striving for excellence? Fantastic! But shooting for that which cannot be achieved? It's a setup for chronic discontent for the rest of your life!

Also, if you get a chance, listen to Macy Gray's song, "I am not my hair." I know I've written about this before, but I certainly could use a reminder. Here's the chorus:

I am not my hair.
I am not this skin.
I am not your expectations of me.

I am not my hair.
I am not this skin.
I am the soul that lives within.

I saw that earlier today and promptly emailed it to my daughters (14 and 10).

Precisely why I did not renew my subscription to Oxygen...

It's not just the super models and movie stars. A lot of world-class athletes are not what the appear to be, either, ie Floyd Landis, Justin Gatlin, etc. Anymore, I am very skeptical of all world-level athletic feats.
