Quote by Valerie Frankel
When you look in the mirror, it's usually to fix your hair or put on makeup. To examine your body searching for problem areas. We look at ourselves to see the flaw, not beauty. And we look at predictable times, in the morning, after using the bathroom, before bed. We hardly ever see ourselves when we aren't prepared for inspection. But only when you're unprepared can you see your true self, your true beauty.
Summary
This quote challenges the conventional notion of looking in the mirror as a focused scrutiny for flaws. It suggests that our habitual behavior of inspection is driven by an inclination to find imperfections rather than embracing our inherent beauty. By emphasizing the importance of unprepared encounters with our reflection, it proposes that true self-awareness and appreciation come when we can authentically observe ourselves without judgment or preconceived notions of what society defines as flawed or beautiful.
