I just finished reading this post now and there is a lot of truth in it.
In fact, in all areas of our lives, there are things we cannot change/ control. We get angry, frustrated and sometimes victimize ourselves when we can´t do nothing about that or make poor choices (ex: trying to hide your alopecia with hair pieces).
In fact the wisdom is in discovering the things we do control and act upon it positively. Sometimes that needs courage, but after you do it you get rewarded in confidence.
Shaving your head is a courageous act - and we know it. That´s why we get so confident after doing it. And in the end it looks great afterall.
