It's all a matter of perception

A little something I saw on a wall!

Age 3: She looks at herself and sees a Queen

Age 8: She looks at herself and sees Cinderella

Age 15: She looks at herself and sees an Ugly Sister (Mum I can't go to school looking like this!)

Age 20: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" but decides she's going out anyway

Age 30: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" but decides she doesn't have time to fix it so she's going out anyway

Age 40: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" but says "At least I am 'clean' and goes out anyway

Age 50: She looks at herself and sees "I am" and goes wherever she wants to go

Age 60: She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore and she goes out and conquers the world

Age 70: She looks at herself and sees wisdom, laughter and ability and goes out and enjoys life

Age 80: Doesn't bother to look, just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world.

Maybe we should all grab that purple hat earlier!
