I recently saw a TED talk from Cameron Russell about image
and looks (click here to see it), and the impact that they have on us as a
society – particularly how we judge people, what desires they fuel and the
reality that they mask. It makes for
brilliant viewing with a message delivered form the heart and a wake up call
for those of us who really do judge a book by it’s cover – Cameron is a
stunning Victoria Secret model.
It got me to thinking…what happens to our lives when we let
image dictate our opinions? When we buy
a beauty product, item of clothing or magazine we’re generally buying a
lifestyle and particularly with the latter we’re buying something that isn’t
reality in a lot of ways. It’s leading
to impressionable minds be conditioned to thinking that outside beauty is best
– be it your face, house, car or clothes.
I’m sharing Cameron’s message with as many people as I can
(and will listen) – it’s so powerful and has really made me question…what can I
do differently? Give it a watch (it’s only about 8 minutes) and then ask
yourself the same question – let me know your plans!
Happy watching x
