You Are Beautiful And Don't Let Anyone Else Tell You Otherwise

What do you truly think of when you hear the word "Beautiful"? Do you apply to someone's appearance? Do you apply it to someone's personality? Or do you apply it to what's inside?

Often we tend to forget there are so many beautiful things in the world to appreciate ' such as the gift of life. Life is meaningful, life is embraceable, life is amazing, life is challenging and most of all ' life is beautiful. We are truly blessed with the gift of life and all of the beautiful things that surround our world and yet we recklessly focus on the materialistic things that keep us from appreciating life's beauty. We should all stop for 5 minutes in our busy lives to focus on this tremendous gift that we are taking advantage of and that's ' the gift of life. Life is beautiful and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Love is everlasting, love is circular, love is emotional, love is spiritual and most of all ' love is beautiful. To find that person that understands your idiosyncrasies is beautiful. To the people who are fortunate and blessed to have a life partner or a long term relationship, turn to that person next to you and count your blessings cause having that love and support is beautiful. To all the people who are searching for that particular someone, realize that if you give and love with your whole heart, then you are beautiful personified. Love is beautiful and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

People are beautiful. And I don't mean appearance-wise, although it's what we immediately think of when we hear the word beautiful, but it should never define what your definition of beautiful should be. If you are selfless, caring, giving and comfortable in your skin, then you are beautiful. We all should look within ourselves and question our judgment when it comes down to how we interact with each other. The energy and attitude you put out in the universe is what's going to come back. God created every individual differently because we are essentially a beautiful creation in his eyes. In turn, YOU are beautiful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

To all my good friends (and to the ones I am acquainted with) who are reading this right now, I say to you ' YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL and thank you for allowing me to share what's in my heart with you.

Jerod - This is (not to add more to your work a beautiful tribute of words to express)... the repetition of the last lines in each paragraph adds a touch to the whole piece... Well scribed...

Dear Jarod, This is a very good write. I am expecially fond of the line, "Love is everlasting, love is circular, love is emotional, love is spiritual and most of all ' love is beautiful. To find that person that understands your idiosyncrasies is beautiful" This embodies most of what I teach my children and share with my friends--who will listen. There is nothing more beautiful than the discovery that love is circular and being loved as well as loving is beautiful. I look forward to reading more... Mrs G

One of my favourite words. I've used it recently when a was blessed with a glimpse of a certain person's soul..a good, generous and beautiful soul. How amazing is that?!

Very well written Jerod. Beauty does surround all of us and yet many spend a lot of money trying to find it. Beauty is like happiness in the fact that it comes from deep within our own soul and then progresses outward. The beauty you speak of surrounding us is free for everyone and only a touch a way. Great write and one I've enjoyed immensly this morning.
