This young couple on hearing from friends, decided to get their teeth filed down to points. Then they get fitted with the veneers. They flew to a different country because the clinic there was way cheaper. You guessed it, it didn't go to plan. Very painful and the veneers diqn't fit very well. They still have pain. All this because they wanted a better smile. See here we can learn from others, if we're smart.
A while back in time I read a story of a woman whose hair did not grow back after chemo. She did not like to wear the wig. She was not a happy camper. To her people avoided her because she was hard to look at. Then one day she catches herself in a mirror while walking next to one at a store. She was taken aback by the scowl that was plastered across her face. Now she new the real why. It was her expression that made people distance themselves from her. She practiced smiling into the mirror in the morning. She was now mindfull when it came to smiling. And lo and behold the new her changed her reality. Other people smiled back at her. Not just this one day but every day. Her self worth had returned. She shut it down to begin with. But she was smart to see what the problem was and did a quick easy correction.
Sometimes we need cosmetic help. Thats all well and good. But to go to extremes can hurt our life. That young couple used to eat comfortably before their procedure, now not so much. Why, because of vanity. My motto if it's not broke, don't fix it. Readjusting our attitude saves a lot of money and grief.
