Ask an adult what they would want to change about their body, and you'd likely get a response about fixing some perceived physical fault. Ask that same question to a child though, and the answer will be quite different.

The Jubilee Project, a non-profit that aims to tell stories that inspire change, released the above video entitled "Comfortable." In the video, adults and children are asked the same question: "What would you like to change about your body?" Many of the adults respond with changing some of their physical traits, but the children aren't so much concerned about their appearance as having a mermaid tale or a shark mouth. All of the adults share some sort of self-perceived physical fault, but the kids' creative responses illuminate how none of those faults really matter.

"We hope that this video will inspire you to be more comfortable and confident in yourself. Beauty is not about what you don't have, but about being comfortable in your own skin," the Jubilee Project says in the video's description. Check out the inspirational video above.
