Life Lesson ~ Beautiful...

Beautiful....
When was the last time you looked in the mirror and said this girl is absolutely beautiful? When was the last time you tried on a dress in the dressing room, twirled, smiled and said this girl is absolutely beautiful? We live in a world where we measure our beauty by the world’s standard. Do you realize that most photos are photoshopped to remove cellulite, stretch marks, scars and so much more? Be your own kind of beautiful! Even the smallest person has to deal with stretch marks and it is seen by the world. Yes, the marks remind us that life happens. The marks show we have carried babies; made it through surgeries; over ate because of a broken heart; partied a little too much; had some falls in life, etc.

Don’t define your beauty by world’s standards because those images are not real anyway. So, what if your hair is natural and kinky; so, what if your hair is long or short; so, what if you have cellulite on your thighs; so, what if you have stretch marks on your buttocks and so what your varicose veins are shining through. Don’t allow yourself or others to compare your body to others your age or younger.  Beauty must start on the inside first, then shine on the outside. Create your own definition of beauty. Even the most beautiful person still struggles with seeing their own beauty. We were created in HIS image and HIS likeness. God never intended for all of us to look alike. So, don’t be afraid to embrace how God made you! My friend, don’t ever forget that you are beautiful! Have an amazing day and always remember that you are loved! Lady T
