beautiful


You look at yourself and you can’t see what others see. So you compare yourself to others and you find yourself lacking in some ways but have you ever considered that the whole of you exceeds that of the others that you seem to envy? The problem is that to compare yourself to others is the first mistake when the subtle differences that make you who you are is more than likely prized above those traits that you envy in others. But you use your self perceived shortcomings to blind yourself to those things about yourself that make you truly special. That’s the irony of life is it not? We always never seem to be happy with who we are and what we have when those who do are just as miserable. So it’s a mystery why we allow ourselves to think the things that we do when the reality is that we are only limited by our own perceptions and the truth is that in our own way we are all beautiful.
