Urban dictionary, a sometimes harsh and brutally realistic site, defines beauty as, "... a thing seldom seen. It is held by all within the soul it lies, waiting to come out to the surface, but it can only be found if someone is sharing your soul with you. Beauty is suppressed by the evils of the world. Only love can bring beauty out. Once seen, beauty never hides again. Not even hatred can deny beauty of it's true design. Beauty, although possessed by all by few and fewer yet will ever see one of the most beautiful sights - the beauty held by you.
You are beautiful. It doesn't matter what size you are, what color skin you have, how tall you are or what your hair looks like. You are perfect just the way you are. One of my favorite sayings is that "Beauty belongs to the eyes of the beholder." Beauty belongs to you and no one else. You are the one that decides that you are beautiful. No one else can decide that for you and you should never feel like you have to change for someone else. You are perfect just the way you are.
Beauty is waiting to shine through in all of us. We see beauty in others when they smile at us and when they do something for another being. That is when that person is in their glory. A smile has a powerful way of tricking our minds into being in a positive mood, when we may not be feeling our prettiest. Annie does say, "You're never fully dressed without a smile!"
We have a false image of what beauty is. We think that in order to be beautiful, we have to essentially be perfect. News flash: No one is perfect. It takes some people longer than others to realize this. We all have flaws and imperfections inside and outside our bodies. It is physically impossible for all of us to look exactly like the models and celebrities that we see so often on TV. We need to start embracing our "flaws" instead of hiding them. When you are confident about your flaws and learn to highlight them, that is when you are the most beautiful.
True love and discovering your self worth can help highlight your beauty. When you find someone that truly loves you, they help you see the greatest parts of you when you are having trouble finding them by yourself. They give you compliments and help you feel your best. They are the person that fills in the gaps, that someone else helped to create. However, one should never depend on another to feel their most beautiful. You cannot let others decide if you are beautiful or not, you must learn to accept it for yourself. Maintaining a sense of self worth in a loving relationship can help us see our beauty in the most honest light.
We all are beautiful because of our differences. Once you can say confidently that you are beautiful, you will never loose that sense of pride. You will always remember what that moment felt like. You were aware of everything about yourself. You acknowledged the flaws, encouraged the greatest parts of you and in that moment you could honestly tell yourself "I am beautiful.", without the fear of rejection by yourself or by others. No one ever can take that feeling or that moment away from you. It is solely yours.
No matter where the road takes us, as long as we believe that we are beautiful people surrounded by a beautiful world, no one can stop us from progressing. In a world filled with too much hate, we need to be able to remind others what makes us great as individuals and how blessed we are to live in the world that we are in. No amount of hatred in the world can get rid of the fact that there will always be some form of beauty around us. It may be hard for us to find, but it will always be there.
No one can tell us when we feel the most beautiful because it is different for everyone. It can be that moment where you dress up to go out with a guy you are crazy about or something as simple as when a mother sees her baby for the first time. In the perfect moment, you feel as if no one can compare to you.
Beauty is all around us in the world. Make sure to always accept the beautiful pieces that make who you are and start every day with a smile on your face. Disregard the images that you see on TV and in magazines because not everyone looks like that. You are perfect just the way you are. Find a life partner that helps you discover the best parts of you and helps you feel your best. Be confident about your beauty and encourage it in the world.
No one has the right to tell you that you are not beautiful. You are beautiful because you are different. You are beautiful because of your flaws, your scars and your imperfections. You are beautiful because you can own to the fact that you are not perfect. You are beautiful because you are you,and that is all that should matter.
