The most important gift you can give yourself is your inner cultivation, which is to develop the depth of your thoughts and your awareness of life. As you do this you awaken who you really are, elevate your self-confidence and your ability to love, while casting out meaningless fears of aging and other shallow thinking cast upon you by society.
You have always been someone special for in all the billions of people that inhabit the earth, no-one else brings your unique skills, insight and perspective. No-one else thinks exactly as you do or can uplift particular lives as you can.
Let go of the shallowness you see on television, in magazines and elsewhere for those are just manifestations of advertisers trying to make you feel inadequate and inferior unless you buy their products or services.
They often emphasize youth because youth is soon gone and many people spend the rest of their lives and considerable money in pursuit of appearing youthful.
It is cruel and nonsensical for with time, people gain experience and grow wiser, which can make them ever more beautiful to those who view them with an open heart and an awakened mind. Be generous to yourself by giving you this precious gift of self-cultivation and you will welcome time and all the wonders it has to offer.
