Julie would look at herself in the mirror every day and couldn’t help but pick on something every time: “Look at my nose…so big, so ugly. And my lips…so thick. My mouth…so big. My legs…so skinny.The bags under my eyes, make me look 10 years older.” Only these kinds of thoughts came to her mind. Every morning, instead of making a bright start to her day, Julie destroyed her confidence by making all sorts of negative remarks about herself.Wherever she went, she was sure that people would take no notice of her because of the many things that, in her view, were wrong with her. "Being blessed in love starts with you...." Successful Julie was head of a department in an international firm. Summer was approaching and the company was welcoming temporary staff during the holidays. Rachel was one of those replacements. Rachel came into the office and Julie noticed that there was something different about her. By lunchtime she was certain that there was something very different.When Rachel sat to have her lunch many of the males followed suit. Not only at lunchtime, but also during work, Rachel seemed to have male attention all around her.The same happened at the coffee shop after work. Julie could hardly believe it. Rachel wasn’t very successful and after careful observation Julie saw that Rachel wasn’t a very attractive person, actually, she was really very plain.Why then were all the men attracted to her? Days passed and that question remained unanswered, so Julie took a bold step and asked a few of her fellow workers about what they saw in Rachel. Julie expected anything but what she heard - it wasn’t beauty or success, or because Rachel was easy. It was the confidence that emanated from her that they found so attractive.

It took Julie the good part of 32 years to understand why men seemed uninterested in her. Only when she met Rachel did she realise what was wrong!
