you are beautiful, so am i

Many would have heard this before, but i am going to say it once more, "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, and that is true." If one tells you that you are not beautiful, bother not to defend yourself, because he or she is telling the truth but only in their own views. You must remember that the world is big, and there is definitely atleast one person on the surface of the earth that thinks that you look beautiful. Your friends might not look at you as someone beautiful but someone else does, and remember that, beauty does not just lie in the external looks, there's more to beauty and just looks.

Personally, I believe that a person's personality and character outshines the looks. I am not saying this because everyone is saying it, or neither am i saying this to sound wise, but i am saying this because i know very clearly of what is coming out of my mouth. I myself had experienced it before and am experiecing it as i meet new people each day. People that i met in which i do not remember much of their appearance, bloomed into a beauty after knowing them for sometime, indeed surprised me tons. I sometimes asked myself, why didnt i realised earlier how beautiful a certain person was and is, i guess, its just that i never really knew the person well enough to see it. Character and personality does outshines the looks, the heart wins no matter what.

Have you ever come to a point in your life where when you look at everyone else, you just find them beautiful? I don't know about you, but i have, and the time is now. As i began to judge people less of their appearance, i found myself looking into their hearts many times, and no matter who they were or whether their personality matched mine, i found them beautiful and just lovable. Even as their hearts won my favour, their looks became more and more beautiful each day. As i have said before, personality and character outshines the looks, and the heart wins no matter what. Atleast for me it is so.

But i have come to a point where i realised that what is most important is not so much of how the world look at us. Its more of how we look at ourselves and how God looks at us. The world's opinions are not as important as our own and as God's, how can we compare the two person in our lives in whom know us best with the world which hardly can even remember our names in hundred years to come. Remember this, if you see yourself as a beautiful person, you would act as one and you would become one, but nevertheless, no matter how you look at yourself or how the world looks at you, God always see you as a beautiful creation and unique in your own ways, the same goes for everyone. Who are we to judge each others appearance? Doesnt judging belongs to the mouth of the creator? For only the potter can judge his own clay of vase. There is a purpose for each creation, and only the creator knows the answer, who are we to judge, who are we to judge.

Bear in mind always " You are beautiful, so am i."=)

To me, its pretty hard for me to actually look into the mirror and say " I look beautiful ". :p but i guess, like what you have said "beauty does not just lie in the external looks, there's more to beauty and just looks."

Maybe next time when i look into the mirror, i should say
" I look beautiful ...inside! " :)

Thumbs up for this post!
