There are many characteristics that comprise a beautiful person: A willingness to help other people, a desire for excellence, the need to pursue right over wrong for the betterment of one’s society and one's self, a smile that causes others to take notice, humor for the less sensible in life, joy for all occasions, and an optimistic attitude, just to name a few...
Beauty can be found all around us, but it often takes a beautiful person to recognize it.
When I speak of beauty I'm not talking about the Hollywood version of the word, which solely pertains to a person's looks, but beauty in a much broader and totally inclusive sense.
B - Beautification
E - Excellence
A - Awareness
U - Understanding
T - Thoughtfulness
Y - Yearning
All any of us are promised is the moment at hand, and in this epic moment of NOW we all have a choice to make: Whether or not we will see life as the ultimate gift or a cursed, burden.
We don't always see the everyday happenings of life as gifts; often we view our circumstances as inevitable, negative happenstance... But that viewpoint is far from the truth.
Whether your heart is set on a perspective mate and for some reason it doesn't work out or we miss a qualified promotion or sickness and death touch our life, it's important to hold close to the mantra that: every end of something makes room for the glorious new beginning of something promising.
There's power and promise in new beginnings, each new day presents a chance to make new circumstances something we control, or let control us - Beautiful people realize this fact and live by it.
The first step to living a better life is teaching one's self how to smile when faced with the scowl of adversity. The power of a smile is contagious not only for others but for the sake of rebuilding a person's worth and identity.
If life seems to constantly be a burden or a weight too heavy to lift, try transforming your mindset towards a particular thing. Look not to distinguish something or someone as wholly bad, look for the light in the circumstance and you'll discover the fire that burns deep inside of you.
If life feels to only carry darkness, then take comfort in the old adage that - "it's always darkest before the dawn"
Practical step #1 for living a more fulfilling life: Use every right-hook life swings at you as an opportunity to counter on your own, loving terms.
Remember, love guides the steps of the great, fear only serves to paralyze the walk of an otherwise fulfilled man or woman.
Live for love/beauty, look for love/beauty, seek after love/beauty... and life will suddenly become lovely and full of beauty.
As always,
Peace and Love
