I always enjoy watching the Dove videos. They are a great reminder to not compare ourselves to something superficial like the media. And hopefully we can have enough love and respect for ourselves to not compare, period!
Beauty is the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.
I feel the world’s standard of beauty has become unreachable unless you have $ for plastic surgery or a computer to wipe away your flaws. Suze Orman has become one of my favorite women and her book called Women & Money is definitely at the top of my list. In her book she talks about 8 qualities we as women should always carry with us. The 8th quality is Beauty, I absolutely love her view on it!
“Beauty is what you create when you incorporate the other seven qualities into your life. When you take the steps to have harmony, balance, courage, generosity, happiness, wisdom, cleanliness and beauty in your life, you will exude confidence. And there is nothing more beautiful than a confident woman. Remember, when you’re confident you feel secure, and when you feel secure you have no fear. And when you have no fear, you have the courage to say what you think and feel in a calm and wise way. And when you’re calm, you make wise decisions with your money, which then allows you to be truly generous to others as well as yourself, which, in turn, makes you a happy, powerful and beautiful woman.”
