We are bombarded with all the hype of the rich and famous. Stars show us the trends and what to wear to look hot and trendy. Trying to fit in and be a step above. It is all about the competition according to the magazines and television catching a glimpse of what stars wear. How slender our bodies are so we feel somehow connected and obviously accepted in our world as they are in their world. How good, how young and attractive we have to be, as the scrutiny must also be on us too! It's everywhere we go, what we hear, what the world of the 21st century men and women. Shape up, look younger than you are, how to act in public, what to wear or not wear, to be acceptable.

Don't we want to be admired, talked about, envied, a role model that others follow? That is what the media tells us. So change your lifestyle from mondane to exciting and colorful. Change the look that others envy. Be on top of your world, getting the attention you so deserve. If that is what you desire, than focus on the whole lifestyle change. Keep up on the latest food fads, what or what not to eat. Yes, certain foods are in, like Sushi. If you don't know what sushi is, than get with it. What are the hottest colors, to get ahead of the fashion divas and fashion police of your world. Get a massage or facial if you have never done so, to keep your body and face feeling pampered. Save those pennies for a few injections in facial lines if need be. Choose the place where you live that is a little more upscale, trendy and affordable. Get a teeny dog that you can dress up and take wherever you go for all the extra attention. Get literary, read the latest star, home interior, food magazines you can, to catch up even faster.

Now, if you want to be like a 21st century robot the changes in your lifestyle will create a little bit more glam to your world but what happened to the lifestyle of the individual, and you setting the guidelines of what you enjoy and who you are. It is way more adventurous to start a trend, be different and add to the world something special and unique. Aren't we so uncreative to be the same as everyone else in the world. What happened to exercising the mind by reading something more than a glam magazine, and not taking the opportunity to experience and read authors that inspire or teach us. Reading literature with substance takes us beyond the cozy easy to do world of carbon copy living. It takes up to unlimited potential of characters of fiction that have different lifestyles that we too can admire but maybe find one more true to our hearts and persona.

Create your lifestyle from the bottom line of who you are, what you want people to see and what you represent. Your best face forward. Your mind at work of discovering new things what help you be what you want. You might want to be the best cook, best dressed, nothing wrong with that. Don't feed in to the way the media wants you to think life is. Looks and beauty are individual and not stereotype wanna be! Be original, and take the time to look and discover. It is more fun to start a fad, than be one.
