Are You a Glitter Trashcan? Uncovering the Truth About Superficial Beauty

My kids received big slime kits for Christmas. The kits had slime of many different colors and cool things to add to the slime. There were little plastic toys, beads and shapes that could be added to the slime that would give it more texture.

Well, they also had glitter. Now, if you or your children ever played with anything glittery... It is everywhere! Glitter is a uncontrollable mess. My son was putting glitter in the slime and ended with a lot of glitter left. I advised him to pour the glitter in the trashcan, but do you know what happens when you pour glitter anywhere? A GLITTER SNOWSTORM.

Yes, glitter went EVERYWHERE. I saw him attempt very well to get the glitter in the trashcan but the glitter said, NO. The glitter floated everywhere but inside the trashcan. It flew on the trashcan, on his clothes, on the floor but most importantly on the outside and top of the trashcan.

So now, I have a Glitter Trashcan.

I went to put something in the trash this week and said "umph, you cute but you're trash on the inside"... then I paused and thought... how many of us are Glitter Trashcans?

We look great on the outside but we are:

• Angry

• Bitter

• Unforgiving

• Envious

• Tired/Overworked

• Prideful (etc.)

on the inside.

We can take this thought even deeper. How many of us look good when we we get dressed but our insides are sick from the decisions we make:

• Addictions (Liquor, Caffeine, Sugar)

• No Water

• Heavily Processed Foods

• Fast Food/No Vegetables

I can go Another Layer. What are you taking in?

• Watching

• Reading

• Scrolling

• Podcasts

Are you listening to anything positive. Are you growing, healing or challenging your thinking?

Are you listening to "how to get a man" podcasts and books so much but you are ignoring "how to better myself"? Are you watching any documentaries or masterclasses, or are we just watching reality TV? We have to ask ourselves these questions if we ever want change to happen in our lives.

I know that you can dress up, do your hair and do your up.

But, what do you have inside?

Are you glitter on the outside and banana peels inside?
