Mirror Mirror on the wall

I love this video. It is amazing to me that we view ourselves as something other than beautiful. When you look into the mirror do you see your amazing smile, or beautiful eyes? Are you more critical than you should be? I found it really interesting that each person focused on their flaws. Do you see the good in others?  Do you build yourself up so you can be the best you can be? If you are always beating yourself up, it is difficult to serve others.

How you view yourself effects everything. 

The lady at the end stated that we should be more grateful of our natural beauty. It impacts the choices and the friends we make, the jobs we apply for, how we treat our children. It is critical to our happiness. We spend a lot of time as women trying to fix the things that aren't quite right. We should spend more time focusing on the things we do like.

We’re getting messages thrown at us everywhere we look – we watch shows that tell us we’re not good enough, we read magazines that tell us to work harder. Ad campaigns for stores and clothing lines feature women who you wish you could look like in your dreams.We feel worthless, flawed, and never good enough. We constantly compare ourselves to others and fall short of the images we see, our ideals, and expectations. We aim so high and are shocked when we can’t make the mark, when in reality, our own beauty isn’t dependent on who we would like to be.

So where does beauty come from? Where can it be found? I can assure you it isn’t hidden in the words of any beauty, diet, or fitness magazine article. It’s not something that comes out when it is covered up with makeup, and it doesn’t come included with jewelry or price tags. You won’t find it on a treadmill or in the weight room. True beauty is what lies within you.

Real, beauty comes from within your heart. It can't be contained. It truly radiates from within. You are beautiful, just the way you are. You, right now, as you are reading this, are enough. In this moment, today, tomorrow, and forever. Just as you are. Be confident with the person you have grown to be. There will never be another you, so why would you try to be like someone else? You are perfectly perfect from the bottom to the top. 

Imagine what you could accomplish with one simple fact. YOU ARE ENOUGH!
