Hi Kathleen,

First of all, thanks for the links for the POTW, they are a BIG Improvement. I thanked John this morning when I voted.

As for would I change, I change everyday, it called Growth. Would I change just to please someone else, NO. 

Every morning, when I get up and look in that mirror, I'm Happy with myself because I know that I haven't strayed from the Core Principles taught to me by my father, my mother, and most importantly by my Father in Heaven.

To paraphrase, "As you have done unto the least of these, so have you done unto Me". 

Be true to your Principles, teach others by your Actions, and Success will be the natural Result.

To Your Continued Success,

Phil Black

Those are interesting responses, I wasn't expecting so many people to readily change to make other people happy.  Actually I was just referring to physical changes in appearance, but changing anything about ourselves can be difficult.  It is harder to change inside than outside. 

Greetings:

I read over all the posts before considering my responce. I considered the word, STRANGER and the word CHANGE as well. I even went to the useless book of information to come up wtih something I could extend to others as my feelings over this. It held no answers, only definitions. So, I read over the posts again and finally, I saw the words that best describe my feelings as well. They come from our friend and brother, Phil Black:

" Every morning, when I get up and look in that mirror, I'm Happy with myself because I know that I haven't strayed from the Core Principles taught to me by my father, my mother, and most importantly by my Father in Heaven. "

All the best,

Hi Kathleen, I think you have a beautiful message there for everyone. - in these troubled times we should be reaching out and helping others. "We make a living by what we get, we live by what we give" When you make a difference to other people's lives you will discover how enriching it is. You will feel that your life is on track,that it has a purpose and you will realise just how powerful this effect can be on your own well being as well as those associated with you. YOU can make a postive difference with everything you do . Remember this - your very next action may be just the one that is needed to transform someone's life. So make each moment count.. May I end with my favourite quote from a trip to Disney Land many years ago. " IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WITHOUT A SMILE GIVE THEM ONE OF YOURS." Lets all enjoy a beautiful positive Day. Jenny.

Thanks, Joe! 
When we have a physical difference, we don't become fully aware of it until lots of people tell us that it's a problem, for THEM.  When kids start school, they are happy and want to make friends, and then...they are made to feel different, feel unhappy, and not the same as everyone else.  I think a lot of peoples' unhappiness with themselves is not really originating from themself, it's coming from outward remarks that gradually and forcefully make a mental change within the person who used to be happy even though they always were different.  It's not the difference that makes us unhappy, it's the people who tell us we're so different it's unacceptable to them.  I've been working on something lately about physical appearances and it's more mentally challenging than I thought it would be.
