I personally feel my life has more purpose in life, to realize I can value myself and love myself for being me, instead of feeling like a slave or servant to an invisible force that doesn't love me for who I am, but what I am.

I value my good deeds too, but I use them out of respect for my own needs. I find I don't get deluded into wanting material goods (other than some lovely purses, yes I am a woman, the internet can be confused about my tone often), but focusing on my health and beauty instead of deluding myself.

I still hold true that it's the inside that needs to be beautiful, such as happiness, and health can affect that so much. Just to know I have control instead of giving up control to nothing.
