Vanity is not necessarily a sin!

           Vanity can be a bad thing. It can make you think you are better than others. You can worry too much about how you look instead of how you act. There is no denying that vanity can be a sin. However, a certain amount of vanity alongside good moral values can be a good thing.
          Most of the time vain people are worried about what others think about them. They want the prettiest face, the nicest clothes, the biggest house, and lots of bling and swag! That is the unhealthy type of vanity. These type of vain people are usually arrogant. But deep inside I think that they lack self confidence. I think that is why they are trying to impress others. The other type of vanity is not about impressing others. It is about feeling happy about who you are and then showing it with confidence.
          Healthy vanity is about looking your best. That means being healthy and in shape. People with healthy vanity may want to look good for their spouse or future spouse. But this is not because they lack self confidence. It is because they value their mate and want their mate to have a mate they can be proud to introduce to people. Healthy vanity makes you stay in shape. Staying in shape helps you live a more active life for longer. Healthy vanity makes you dress nice and do your hair/ makeup. It makes you shower and brush your teeth. It makes you eat the right foods. All these things make you feel more confident! Once you establish good habits that make you healthy and confident you teach them to your children. This teaches children to have a good self image.
          Healthy vanity has many positive benefits. It is just one of those things where whether it's a good thing or a bad thing is all about your attitude and thought process! So go out there and be beautiful! It's not being cocky! It's being bold and confident! ;-)
