Discovering Where Your Beauty Lies

Do you think you’re beautiful? Do you know you’re beautiful? Do you BELIEVE that you are beautiful?

I KNOW that you are!!

What does it mean to be beautiful? What is beauty? Where is it? Who is the person or people who dictate what beauty is? Do fashion models set the bar, famous actors or singers, fashion stylists, people on tv or in the magazines? Is it the guys you see at school, on the street, or at the club? Do these people set the bar for deciding or judging whether you are beautiful or not? Maybe it's what you see in the music videos? The half dresses girls that the rappers seem to love and the guys talk about at school or on the street. Do you compare yourselves to them
 so that maybe guys will like you too or see you as beautiful? Have you gotten sucked in to believing that these things are the standard for beauty?

If so, what do you see when you look in the mirror? What do you think of yourself? I ask again, do you BELIEVE that you are beautiful??!! Not think or assume or “I don’t really think about it much”. I want you to take some time out to look at yourself in the mirror and either write or say what you see. Truly listen to yourself and how you see yourself deep inside. No one has to know, read, or hear what you think but you, so be real with yourself and don’t be afraid. Because you might have some harsh things to say. Then, take time to write down a list of 5-10 things that describe what you want see when you look in the mirror. And I’m not talking just physical features, I mean the woman inside and out that you want to see and be. Discover for yourself what beauty is and where yours lies. Let's talk about it.
