Today is Monday August 7th.
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Today's word of the day is " beauty "
//: a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight:
**Quote of the day:
"Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." - Coco Chanel
AND
"Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and most importantly, a beautiful soul.
TOP SIGNS OF 'REAL BEAUTY'
- Kindness is how you treat and speak to others
- Being honest
- Making others feel more comfortable
- Simply being happy
- Having the ability to laugh at yourself
- Having the courage to stand up for others
- Don't judge others with different looks, beliefs, religions
- Knowing when others need a shoulder to cry on.
- Being prepared to admit you're wrong sometimes or made a mistake
Beauty is often distorted, misunderstood, and shadowed by a wide amount of conflicting pressures. It is something we endlessly strive for, rather than see in the true essence of our happiest moments.
We are all unique humans, with experiences and memories that tie together into a our very own versions of beauty. We are different shapes, sizes, colors, Fathers, mothers, daughters, sons etc.. We are all the lives and change we create - that's beauty.
Our bodies are simply a shell that allows us to radiate these experiences and accomplishments through.
What is beauty?
Beauty isn't a achieving a fake Barbie doll face, or spending hours in the mirror, it isn't the perfect smile, hair, face etc.. Because that is what society tells us is acceptable.
We need to realize that everyone is different! Unique! Everyone is enough and should be enough. Society has given us such high standards for ourselves that we begin to believe them! Not only do we believe them but we start to hate ourselves and envy others.
The pressures of being beautiful is over bearing. And we do all of this work to be what we think is beautiful to be told "you're pretty…but" and the cycle starts all over again.
Beauty is truly not any of those things by themselves. Beauty does not have limits, it does not have a scale, it can not be measured.
Beauty is what is within you! It is your heart! You are worth way more than what society says you are worth.
Let us not be the kind of people who stereotype beauty, rather, let's be the first to define our own beauty. Beauty should be celebrate everyone's own individuality. Our beauty is and should only be defined by us, not what others think. Embrace your those so called imperfections you might have been told you have, they are all a part of you.
So love yourself because YOU are beautiful and YOU are enough!!
