OI YOU, YES YOU...

You are beautiful. Through the act of compassion you can truly see the struggles that other people have in the world. Some people have such finite struggles that they are hard to spot but when noticed, evident! I see this almost every single day and it hurts me. 

We live, we die. That is what happens here and what is guaranteed for us all. In the meantime, what happens is totally up to you. Unfortunately, many people live a life of suffering because they are never able to love themselves enough to feel comfortable in their own skin. When you look around, let everything go silent and just pay attention to all the different types of people we are surrounded by, you notice the beauty in everybody.

As horrible as it is, some people never notice the beauty within themselves. You might be one of those people, or maybe you do not think you are but you still do not give yourself enough credit for how incredible you are. What can we do about it? Remember the quote from my blog a few weeks back? ‘You cannot do all the good that the world needs but the world needs all of the good you can do’. 

People around you need you. People need to be lifted up, people need to be made to smile, appreciated, loved and joyous. People need to see you and learn from how you live. Every single day you impact somebodies life, whether you meant to or not, you do. You should live every single day expressing your true self because somebody is admiring you for doing that. 

You may compare yourself to others but others also compare themselves to you. You know how amazing it feels to be happy so why don’t you spread all the happiness and love that you embody? You are beautiful and your beauty is needed in order to bring out the beauty in others. 

Lift your head up, pull your shoulders back and keep your chest proud. You are you and the world needs you for who you are.  

YOU’RE PERFECTLY CAPABLE.
