"Its different for a reason!"

Today I was catching up on a little Real World DC on MTV and ran across this cute little Mitsubishi Outlander commercial. After watching it, it hit me that this had so much more of a deeper meaning to me that I would like to share with you.

As I watched it I noticed that there were just things placed on invisible people like sunglasses , hats, and other accessories. A skateboard, with some really cool skateboarding shoes. An invisible lady strolling her baby in a baby stroller holding balloons wearing a cute hat and necklace. At the very end we see a couple of glasses one pair of men's reading glasses and some really rock-in Hollywood shades and we see them hop in the Mitsubishi Outlander. As soon as they sit in the car their invisible bodies that were once just adorning accessories become a full image of what they look like and who they are. The commercial leaves us saying, "The redesigned 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander......Its different for a reason!"

So there you have it a little synopsis on the commercial. What did I get from that that was so much deeper?

Its not the things we buy at the store to wear on our bodies or to accessorise our perfect outfit.
Its not the new skateboard with squeaky clean brand new white skateboarder shoes.
Its not how expensive our stroller that we push down the sidewalk.

Its not ALL of these things that make us who we are.

The moment the lady and the gentleman got in the car and you could actually see their faces, reminded me that it is our genuine smile, our actions, our demeanor, and all things that make up individuality within a person. Nothing about the things we buy , collect, or obsess over on the outside.

I hear a lot of kids say, and I can remember being younger and wanting to be an "individual!" In my opinion it doesn't take a piercing or a piece of clothing to separate you from one sect or the other. It just takes you and your social outlook on life, your morals/ideals, your artistic ability, your willingness to help others who cannot help themselves, and all other things good that make you  I-N-D-I-V-I-D-U-A-L and Unique. None of these things can be bought in a store or sold on e-bay!

Thanks Mitsubishi for my good thoughts for the day!
