How You View Yourself vs. How Others View You

See what happens when a forensic artist sketches people based solely on descriptions given by themselves and a stranger.

Gil Zamora, an FBI trained forensic artist from the San Jose Police Department, helped create sketches of people based on how they described themselves, and then again how a random stranger viewed them. When looking at the two drawings side by side, sometimes it looked like they were describing two different people who looked alike, as demonstrated by the pictures of Lani.

I should be more grateful for my natural beauty. It affects the choices and the friends that we make, the jobs we apply for, how we treat our children, it impacts everything. It couldn’t be more critical to your happiness.

You are more beautiful than you think.
