It seems like everywhere we turn these days there’s an ad, image, or statement telling us how we need to look in order to be beautiful. If we don’t look like this model, dress like that celebrity, or present ourselves in the same way everyone else does, we simply cannot be counted among the beautiful people. But is this really the case? Absolute not. True beauty is on the inside, and the most beautiful thing we can do is work on who we are!
There’s nothing wrong with fashion! Playing with clothing, accessories, jewelry, makeup, exercise, and diet can all be ways for us to express our individuality, create positive change, work on our health, and stay positive. The problem arises when we think that our external look is what’s most important. I don’t know about you, but I’ve met plenty of people in my life who’s outewr beauty simply didn’t match up with the beauty they had within – one way or the other!
If you find yourself comparing your looks, dress, or style to other people in a self-derogatory way, it might be time to find pride in where you’re already beautiful. We’re born to be the people we are – and our looks are part of the process. Instead of obsessing about how we look, maybe it’s time to obsess about how we are!
Now is a great time to focus on your inner beauty and the countless things that make you special, needed, and a blessing to us all. use looks as a way to express the individual you have been created to be – but put your pride on the inside!
Namaste!
