Perhaps, as our society relies more on cosmetic surgery to transform our smallest flaw, to shape-shift our bodies into our perception of perfection, we are moving toward shape-shifting.
You see, I know that we are obsessed with changing externally. Look what we do to make ourselves attractive, popular, and even seen as
successful! Dare we look different? I think we are getting away from dissimilarities and morphing into what we think is acceptable, beautiful, and pleasurable. Once when body piercing and tattooing were thought base and vulgar, they are now considered the norm. They are seen as “art” or the “in” thing... Now, I am not saying that body art shouldn’t be applied. I am just wondering…curious... why we are so focused on external beauty when internal beauty is rarely cultivated.
I would ask you to spend a bit of time admiring your inner beauty; your patience, compassion, caring about others, positive self-talk, attitude with gratitude, sense of humor, intelligence–all the qualities, the attributes that make you the person you are becoming. Look at your soul, and your heart. Listen to what it is really telling you about you not what others are saying or what you believe is true. Really search and dig deep. I bet if you tend to your inner beauty, like a garden, your external beauty will be extremely striking. You may find that life takesa different shift–attracting new friends, sharing new possibilities. Celebrate your inner beauty. Unleash it!
Let it do its thing. You will be amazed at its power.
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring
that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
-Audrey Hepburn
