Confidence in ourselves

Brett showed me this video this morning. I really liked it. This made me wonder- where does confidence in our image/body come from? Can it come from perfect make-up, loosing weight, getting plastic surgery to fix our so called imperfections? Will it make us happy and "fix" a problem? No. Instead of trying to fit in to what the world calls beautiful, and focusing on our image maybe we should start to look inward. Confidence comes from within. Self esteem comes from within. I think it is easy to get trapped in to thinking we can 'buy' happiness, fix all our problems, and THEN we will be happy... Alas, as it turns out you can't ;( It is only temporary and true everlasting happiness only comes from one source. Our Lord.
