Take a good, long, hard look at yourself.
Not a critical one, but an honest one. Consider, but don’t dwell on, those aspects of you that you aren’t particularly pleased with. Are you too thin? Perhaps you’d like to be more muscular. Perhaps you have a phobia that prevents you from doing something. Or maybe there’s a certain personality trait that you would love to have, but can’t seem to get yourself out of the constraints of your current traits to change yourself. It may be a habit you want to break, but can’t. Or you have a particularly big nose, or unsightly mole. Or, heavens forbid, wild, untamed hair.
Like I say, look but don’t dwell.
Did you know that some people have mirror-image selves that are positively beautiful? All of the desired qualities are prominent in these secret people. And they number many… but only if you live in Iceland.
These hidden folk are known as Huldufólk (hidden folk – see?), and wear clothes that help to camouflage them against the rocks in where they live. Icelandic legends and folklore have it that these folk are similar to, but different from, faeries and elves; and they love the good life. They party particularly well over the Christmas and New Year period, and move to a new home at Midsummer. Legend also warns not to be seduced by the Huldufólk’s generous offers, should you ever actually come across one, but be prepared for the greatest rewards should you decline whatever they offer.
Those Icelanders that tell the tales of these elves, it is said, are actually telling the tale of their better sides, of a life that is near perfect; they are living the life of their dreams through their tales of the Huldufólk.
Belief is key.
Those good qualities are within, regardless of how we see ourselves.
