Beautiful

Hey my beautiful/handsome readers!

A few days ago I was thinking why do we always ask people to smile for pictures. Though we don’t think of it but subconsciously we all know that everybody looks beautiful when they smile. It’s a GOD given natural makeup. No matter what color a person is, their caste, their gender, background or anything else. Everybody looks nice when they smile.

Smiling just automatically brightens up our face and automatically makes others looking at us smile too! It is so cute. I really ask those who are reading this to smile for a second. Even if you don’t feel like. Just for a second. Didn’t it just make you feel a little lighter?

I once saw a video where in they asked a couple adults and kids,  “If you got a chance to change something in their body what would that be?”

Every adult wanted to change something, increase their height, have a smaller forehead, be a little less chubby and so on. A few kids wanted no change and other kids wanted superpower! But there was an old lady who said that if she changed anything about her she would not be her. And she didn’t want to do that. She liked the way  she was.

Why does it take so long for some people to realize that. We try so hard to fit in when we were made to stand out. We want to be taller, fairer (this mostly happens in India!), more skinny (sometimes more skinnier than a skeleton!). Unfortunately these are man-made standards, which is sad. For whom are we trying to look pretty. A person who can accept you when you are completely flawless will never love you fully. He/she will always want more from you. But, love is unconditional. And for how long? If tomorrow they find someone more “perfect” than you they will dump you with no remorse or guilt! They will get over you like you never existed.

1 Samuel 16:7 says “People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” He knows what’s important. No one can bear someone with a beautiful face but stinky heart. Their real nature shows up sometime or the other and no matter how they look outside they are not “beautiful”. One has to have a beautiful heart. Luke 6:45 “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart”. 

My dear friend, you know what you are capable of. You know your strengths. Cultivate them, let you good works speak for you. If you are a person who always speaks positive, talks kind and is humble people will love you no matter what. In fact they will even draw towards you. Inner beauty attracts the right people towards you.

Beauty is only skin deep. It will not last forever and certainly not all the time! Stop hating your body. And stop feeling sorry for yourself. There is always someone out there who would swap his/her life with yours in a heartbeat if they got a chance. You and I just don’t realize it.

Just be you. Be confident in your own skin. Be your own fan! Love what you have been given. You are beautiful. You are handsome. And if you still don’t believe me. Smile and look in the mirror, you’ll know what I am talking about.

Good bye my loves
