Accept Yourself !
A 46-year-old former hairdresser, Michelle Brown,
lost her hands, legs and buttocks to fake silicone in an attempt to get a bigger
bum. In 2004, two women walked into her salon to get their hair done, and she
got to know about the butt implants from them. She went ahead for
the implant.
Unfortunately, after few months of the injections,
her buttocks began to harden. She later spent about four years in constant pain
as surgeons declared it was too dangerous to remove the fake silicone. But in a
bid to help alleviate her terrible pains, and rescue her from dying, doctors
put her in an induced coma for two months while performing 27 surgeries on her –
starting with amputating her buttocks – and doing extensive skin grafts.
Michelle Brown became a quadruple amputee because of
vanity. Although, she had this deep-seated insecurity from childhood, because
people teased her about her “pancake” bum, and she vows to buy a shapelier one
when she was older. But at 46, with two beautiful daughters, what was she still
looking for? She actually fulfilled her
vow, but eventually paid a great price for it.
Is there anything you don’t like about your body?
Is there any part of your body you desperately want
to change?
Why don’t you accept yourself the way you are?
Why do you want to recreate yourself? After you have been
fearfully and wonderfully made already.
Do not compare yourself with others. According to
the Bible, “ …but they measuring
themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not
wise.” (2 Corinthians 10:12)
No one is a perfect specimen of the Almighty, which
others must copy. We are all his handiwork.
You are perfect the way you are. Do not alter one of
the finest designs of the Creator.
Accept yourself !
Love yourself!
Appreciate your uniqueness!
You are BEAUTIFUL!
