Does it even matter?
Hair loss….
Sometimes I used to wonder if me working to solve hair loss really even mattered.
Was it just important to me? Why was it important?
Am I being vain or insecure?
Should I not care about losing my hair?
The good or bad news depending on how you look at it is this:
IT ACTUALLY MATTERS!
Why does it matter? And how do you truly quantify it?
Now, before I break it down scientifically with research and hard data, let me give you a warning:
This is really deep psychological stuff…
My purpose and I believe all of our purposes, is to help and serve others.
At the end of the day, regardless of religious or philosophical beliefs, I think it is better to feel good and be healthy than to feel badly and be unhealthy.
But that’s not just my personal view.
There is now actual hard data and science that proves we are happier and feel better based on how we feel and research now concludes; we actually feel better if we look “better”.
That brings up the argument about how looks are subjective and they definitely are to a large degree.
However, our brains are hard-wired for evolutionary biology biases and traits.
Have you ever heard of “neotenic features”?
I wish it wasn’t a thing. I certainly wish people weren’t judged by how they feel and how they look.
And, I also wish people didn’t judge themselves for it.
But people do, and to pretend that this isn’t a thing gets people into a downward cycle because they want to deny that it is a thing, so they don’t do anything about it which actually makes them feel worse.
I must clarify, this is not about judging others, but 100% about how you feel about yourself and what we can do to feel better, so we can serve better.
It proves that as humans we are drawn to certain physical attributes.
Two of those attributes are youth and fertility and again, fortunately, or unfortunately, the hair on top of the head is one of those traits that are hard-wired into our psychology as a desirable trait because it is perceived as youthful and fertile.
Want proof…?
How many bald presidents do you think the United States has had out of the 45 in the history of the United States?
Only 1.
And what’s even more shocking is that there hasn’t been 1 bald president since the invention of the television, because we now have more of a visual connection with the candidate.
Again, I’m not saying this is good.
In fact, I wish that it wasn’t so and didn’t matter, but to deny facts is to live a life of frustration.
So, I actually feel more of a calling to help serve because my purpose and mission do actually matter.
And it’s more than just about physical appearances. It’s really about health and vitality and how you feel about yourself when you’re by yourself. That’s all that truly matters.
I want and I want you to feel as good as humanly possible and the good news is we can feel better.
We can improve our health. We can improve our vitality and well being by eating foods that bring life and energy.
We can improve our mood and neurochemistry and fight off depression and anxiety by exercise.
And we can thrive. We are capable of much more than we realize and I am here to root you on and encourage to tell you that who you are right now is more than enough.
You are an amazing miracle and you matter in this universe and you can be happy and fulfilled and live a life of significance.
And if I can help in the smallest of ways by restoring your hair to it’s full health, then it is my honor and privilege and I am here to serve you at the highest level.
Results or nothing.
Hair loss is history,
John Goss
