Who defines what is beautiful?
Magazines constantly trick females into believing that perfection is a possibility. Celebrities role model a life style whereby they instinctively hide their individualisms and become clones of society. The public therefore feels compelled to achieve this definition of ‘beautiful.’ Surely, this means we size up beauty in the same way we would pick a cake at afternoon tea? We automatically judge on aesthetically pleasing form.
As young girls fail in their conquest to replicate a plastic Barbie look, they unfortunately become more aware of their flaws. They forget that beauty is the opposite of perfection - it’s about confidence, charisma and confidence. Inner beauty never needs make up. Females need to be reminded that imperfections are what make each individual human and unique. Flaws are perfection.

Perception is existence. Reality would cease to exist if we were to suddenly stop perceiving. Perception is all encompassing, wrapping its mighty hands over reality.
Perception is everything
Whether we agree with it or not, it is. How you portray yourself is the way people will perceive you and the way you treat yourself is how people will treat you. If you never show people you have a brain, they’ll always treat you as if you’ve lost your mind. However, their opinion of you is never the final auth...ority, your self-worth can’t be validated by others, you are worthy because you say you are. Fools seek approval in things that have no authority but the wise understand every person passing judgement isn’t a judge. You will never be able to control everything spoken about you but you are responsible for the things you give people to speak on. Yes your character defines you but your reputation precedes you and if you don’t care enough to protect it, in one way or another you’ll always be neglected. Secure people are comfortable being hated for who they are; the insecure seek love trying to be something they’re not. And at this point in life if the social you is only doing things in hopes to fit in, the real you will always end up being left out.

Is the glass half empty or half full?
In life, it's how we see things that determine how we tackle situations and life, in general. Seeing the glass half full (optimism), helps the daily affairs of life move more smoothly, and makes life look bright and promising. Seeing the glass half empty (pessimism) saps our energy, focus and motivation to do the right things in life.
You have the power to choose.
Artist & Best Friends Animal Sanctuary founder, Cyrus Mejia's show Pits & Perception opened in Los Angeles @ Artology 101 in Glendale. There were several live pit bulls in attendance at the festivities.
From cyrusmejia.com/art/pits-and-perception
"Art can present us with a different view, a new perspective, another way of thinking about things. In this series of paintings of Pit Bulls I’m challenging the current-day perception of these dogs. Not by changing their image, but by depicting them close-up, larger than life, and inviting the viewer to question how they see and perceive Pit Bulls."
