"Image is everything." So we're told by the ones who pay for their products to be advertised on t.v. and in magazines. Let's translate that shall we. We all have labels: some doctors, some personal trainers, some moms, some business consultants, philosophers, bus drivers, cooks, waitresses, lawyers, anthropologists, nurses, authors, police officers, politicians, pastors, retirees, army rangers, nannies, artists and everyone else who keeps the world going. How strange is it to see your doctor smoking, or your personal trainer eating a number 2 from McDonalds? How strange was it to find out that your president was having a love affair aside from his wife? Isn't it crazy to see a police officer abuse his authority? How do you feel about a mother that was blessed with children steel the lives of those very gifts? I am a hairdresser, you will never see me buying box color because one, I know it's bad for me and two, I would be a hypocrite to use that product.
Our label or title has every right to hold us accountable to protect our image. If we can't be honest to ourselves, that very denial could cause us our reputation, which presumably effects society as a whole. Your image is your picture, your vision, your imagination. To rebel against your own image calls for some serious adjusting if you ask me. Your image has the potential to be the deep mystery that is beyond our power to discover! When our image is planned out wisely all self-satisfied emotions do not exist.
It's amazing to see my good friend act on every ambitious idea that crosses her mind, (which improves her life), retain a humble attitude. It's amazing in itself that somebody possesses that much ambition.
Why do people choose not to be better people because the price is higher? So you have to pay a higher price! Would you rather pay what it costs for a neater image or continue shopping and pay that price because you've ran out of ideas or you're bored with what you have? I'll say it again, would you rather pay the price it costs to be a better you or rather follow our nation's bad habits and run to the stores to pay that price? Your image is your self-control, is your ambition, is your future.
