Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Well, will you look at that! Someone actually woke up finally and saw things as they are, and not how others see things.  Well, will you look at that! Someone actually started seeing themselves for the beautiful creation they are.   Well, well well, will you look at that!  You have finally started seeing the real you, the beautiful you, the amazing you, the perfect you, let's hear it, hip, hip, hooray!!  OK, I'm being somewhat dramatic this morning, but my point in exposing my nerd side is to say that I really, truly desire that you begin to see yourself the way the Creator sees you, and that is a creation without spot or wrinkle.

Today I simply want to speak to your beauty.  I once wrote that no matter what your walk in life is, no matter what you may have accrued over the years, the homes, the cars, the money, if you are unable to see the beauty that rest inside of you, does it ultimately matter what may be reflected back to you from a mirror?  

We've all heard that beauty is only skin deep, that beauty will fade over time, and what you are left with are only memories of days gone by.  Well there is truth in this statement if what you believe about beauty is narrow minded and limited to this earthly realm.  Beauty is actually much deeper, much more complex, and yet simple.  Let's face it, you can put lipstick on a pig, and even though it may be a very cute pig, it's still a pig.  What we do to enhance the appearance of beauty has nothing to do with the real beauty of a person.  There are people who spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on cosmetics, clothes, and the like, to enhance their definition of beauty.  Sadly, no matter what they do, they always seem to need more, or to do more to enhance that image of beauty.  Don't misunderstand me, if pampering one's self brings a better self image, I will never tell someone not to do that.  When we have a positive self-image, we are capable of doing some pretty incredible things as we are focused. True beauty, the beauty you were born with can never, and will never fade.  Certainly our ability to recognize that beauty is challenged from time to time, but not seeing our beauty is no different than not seeing our creative abilities, or our eternal spirit, or anything else for that matter that we were created with.  If one focuses solely on outer beauty, which indeed will fade over time, they are simply focusing on something that is not real.  Our true beauty is changeless, much like our Spirit, and as such, is really the only real thing as every other thing in this world is temporary.  

If we look at society today there are so many people who deal with negative self image.  Many people hate their body, be it eye color, hair color, maybe a few more pounds than they would like, or in some cases wishing for more mass.  Some feel inadequate because they don't have the six pack, or they don't have the hour glass shape.  Nothing wrong with wanting that, but the question you need to ask is why do you want this?  Why is it important to have what society thinks is acceptable?  Do you really think that once you get this hour glass figure, once you dawn that new wardrobe, once you shed those "Extra Pounds" that somehow your entire life is going to change?  Things may change momentarily, but only for as longs as you don't go after another project, another set of demands from society of how you should look or act.  

If you do not start seeing the true beauty of your essence, you will be that person who will be striving for things their entire life and never feel fulfillment.  If you cannot see that you are beautiful by virtue of your existence in this moment, then you will continually be going after that next great product, that truly amazing procedure to do whatever it does to make you more appealing.  Your ability to see your true beauty is so critical because not seeing that you are indeed beautiful even without all those things we feel we need to feel beautiful will make it impossible to see your worthiness.  Did you hear me? If you cannot see your true beauty you will never ever get to the point where you can believe in your worthiness.  Why is it so important to see that you are worthy?  If you cannot see your worthiness then life will pass you by and you will never have all those things that you are supposed to have in life.  Beauty and worthiness go hand in hand, and the absence of either in your life is going to make for a very challenging life.  

We have been taught so many wrong things over the years.  Is it any wonder so many people suffer from body image issues?  We have been taught that we need to suffer, that we need to go without, as if that somehow creates character.  Total Horse Shite!!!! We go without because we have yet to realize the significance of our creation, the beauty of our creation, the worthiness of who we are, without regard to what we either do or don't do in life.  I'm here to tell you that until such time as you accept your beauty, the beauty you were created with, and the beauty that is inside of you, until such time as you see yourself as worthy of all goodness, you will seek out alternatives to fill that void.  When you actually see your beauty, your worthiness, then that search for perfection will cease, as you will finally see your perfection.

If you believe as I do that we came from love, created by love, then why is it so difficult to believe that we should be limited in what we can do, what we can have? There are no limits to what we can have, what we can do, there are only those limits that others have thrust upon us.  When we finally step out into our true creation, then and only then will we begin to live the life we were always intended to live, void from the restrictions this world has placed upon us.  How wonderful would this world be if every single person on the planet understood their true beauty and worthiness?  How different would the world be if every single person understood destiny, walk in that destiny, and shared the best of themselves with others?  Is this possible? I believe it is, but it will take an army of creators, an army of believers who will usher in a new understanding of what is important, and throw away all those things that no longer serve our greater good.

Everything begins with knowing, accepting, and walking in your beauty.  Everything begins with understanding and accepting your worthiness.  The time has come my dear, dear family to open up your minds, your hearts, and accept what is in you.  Understanding and accepting that you are beautiful and worthy is truly the cornerstone of this new foundation for living.  Will you accept this? Can you see your beauty?  I am beautiful and I am worthy.  You are beautiful and worthy as well.  We need everyone to hear this, believe this, live this.  As we change, as we accept, we set for on a journey to change the rest of humanity, and let's face it, humanity needs some change.  I leave you with peace, love, joy, and happiness on this beautiful day.
