Once we buy a new outfit it makes us feel great in it. Then after awhile we don't feel the same in that outfit and guess what, we have to go shopping again to make ourselves feel good in another one. Ever notice that tv commercials are all about trying to make us feel bad because we don't look or feel a certain way if we don't buy their product.
You should feel good about who you already are. If you don't, instead of going shopping for clothes than go shopping for friends that make you feel that way. Your friends and family members should make you feel great about who you are. Do they pick you up or pull you down? Do they allow you to wallow in self pity, or do they help you bounce back?
You have something special to offer the world. You are full of infinite potential. You and your friends should feel the same way about you. Now stop reading this and go make a difference in the world today.

It's so true. Its so important to recognize these things especially around the Holiday Season when they can easily get lost in commercialized thinking. Have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I know I've got caught up in it, I try not to, but it's somewhat hard.
Anwayz, Happy Thanksgiving!!
The basic principle of Marketing is making you feel less, ugly, unpopular, etc. They have to sell their product any way they can. That's why you can't believe anything you see on tv.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks for commenting. That is a good point to keep in mind as Christmas and the other holidays approach. We seem to buy gifts just to see the great reaction on their face. The question is how many gifts are we going to buy people that they don't need and wind up somewhere at the bottom of their closet? Take care
Happy Thanks giving to you all. It is easy to get caught up in this habit or living with fear or being materialistic or any other poor habit or quality that society might teach us. We need to embrace the great things about Amercia and fight those other poor qualities that try to creep in.
Reading books is more influential then believing anything you see on the news. The problem is that NJ reads less books than any other state.
America as a whole reads much less than other countries and academically isn't so good. Not only do I say this because I hear it in the news, but because I have experienced it first hand.
