True Beauty - Discovering yourself
True beauty is an abstract concept that we have come to understand goes more than skin deep.
The beauty that is created with make up and clothes is something we know that can be relative and not constant nor real.
I believe in enhancing your features and knowing how to wear the right outfits and colors but we must agree that when we get back home after our outing and we take our clothes off and clean our makeup, we are left in our genuine nakedness and real identity.
I believe that embracing our true beauty is what brings us our real glow and radiance that can never be created by a foundation or powder.
Don't get me wrong, it comes close as Bobby Brown cosmetics users can testify to.
'YOU' ARE YOUR TRUE BEAUTY
However, Your true beauty lies deep within you and is far superior to what is on the outside. It has to do with who you really are, your raw material and substance.
It has to do with knowing and accepting yourself. Who am I, what am I, what are my gifts and talents?
The answer to these questions are what makes you beautiful, they are your essence, your nature and this is why by being you, you are beautiful.
You should not and cannot be compared with anybody else because they do not look like you neither are they you.
I can only compare identical garments, it does not make sense to compare you with someone else because they are not identical to you.
When you are happy about yourself, feeling proud of yourself, free from pressure and competition,working on and achieving your goals; only then can you radiate a true radiance.
Only then will your true beauty emerge, the true beauty that is like a long lasting fragrance; a fragrance accompanied by scents of joy, peace and comfort.
WHAT DO I MEAN?
I mean that when you have a strong self esteem and confidence, when you believe in yourself and are living every day on purpose; there is a natural and true beauty that mascara and foundation will only enhance but never give to you.
Low self esteem can affect your skin, your hair, your mindset and make you feel ugly and unattractive.
Low self esteem can create feelings of hate, bitterness, depression and self loathing which are all ugly emotions that affect your outward appearance very strongly.
Even if your make up, hair and clothing are all well put together, you will still look and appear ugly. We all know somebody like this.
If you feel empty and feel like you have nothing to live for, you will not have that natural glow or radiate true beauty which comes from within; a self acceptance and peace of mind which comes from knowing who you are and believing in that person.
In fact inner emptiness is one of the things that age both men women faster than anything else in this world. You must be thankful if you have managed to overcome low self esteem and feelings of insecurity.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL...
Why do I say this? I say this because everybody has a uniqueness which makes them beautiful.
No matter who you are or what has happened to you. Whether you were physically or mentally abused, even if you were the abuser.
There is always hope if you are willing to take the steps towards healing. Yes even for you too... Because there is something you have that no one else has and every body was designed with a gift/talent and that thing is tied to the reason why you were created, why you needed to be born and be put on this earth.
There is something that only you can do really well that the world needs. Your gift or your purpose is your uniqueness, just like how a rose can only be a rose, in the same way, you have been designed specifically to be you.
This is what you must key into, to understand and find out more about. Strive to find this out and if you already know it, develop it, use it and maximize it.
Because walking in it will bring you a joy and confidence that will change your life. A beautiful thing that is just beautiful alone without a purpose or use is useless. There is nothing designed to just be beautiful, that includes you.
This is where your beauty lies. Within who you are as a human being designed to fulfil a purpose.
You have to key in and look for that gift, that uniqueness that makes you rare like a jewel. Look at yourself and study you.
It is this uniqueness that when you find it, may bring you fame, your wealth, your significance and above all, your confidence.
DISCOVER MORE ABOUT YOUR UNIQUENESS
If you look deeply at yourself, the way you behave, the things that you are really good at, your preferences and so on, you will soon see that there is a bigger purpose and beauty deep inside your being.
That is where your true beauty lies; finding out where you fit within the big sphere of things.
Within your purpose which is interdependent with your identity, your uniqueness and your potential.
There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a perfect rose being a rose! In the same way, you are truly beautiful simply by being you and fulfilling the purpose that you were designed to fulfill.
IN CONCLUSION
So focus on understanding yourself, pursuing your aspirations deliberately and consistently.
Paying attention to your natural skills and talents and you will radiate from the inside.
Radiating from the inside will cause you to glow, become confident and become the beautylicious you that exists on the inside.
HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH
So, I say smile and be proud of yourself.
There is only one person designed uniquely like you, no one can be you or pretend to be you. They will only be a bad photocopy with you always the original.
It is better to be an original than a poor photocopy.
