Unfortunately, I think a lot of advertising comes from word of mouth these days, especially if you offer a service rather than a product. Products are easy enough to advertise that they practically sell themselves (granted you have a great product or are advertising a special). Services on the other hand; I think you can only toot your own horn so much & after a while it starts to lose its effectiveness. That's when the advertising plug gets pulled, or scaled back. If only you could pay for word of mouth advertising!!

Sadly, I know very few people that fall into this category. I can probably count them all on one hand. I think very highly of these people & I am shocked when someone says something negative about them. But there is always (at least) 2 sides to every story & I like to make sure I hear both.

I think a lot of this also comes down to how you feel within yourself. If you feel inferior about some part of your life or body of course it will get you down when someone else brings it up. Be confident in yourself & let the negativity be like water off a duck's back.

There is no other way to get there than to do it. Do it right. And do it for yourself. There isn't much point in wishing, hoping & waiting. You have to go out there & create the life you want.

I see beauty in confidence. When a person is confident, I believe they are beautiful. You could be having a horrid day & feeling worthless, but in showing a bit of confidence you radiate magnificence.

I always admire those that strive to do the right thing & like to consider myself one of them.
