Has anyone ever told you that you are beautiful only to snicker and say "yeah right"
Here is a situation you may find interesting.
Once upon a time there was a person who struggled every day of their lives dealing with how people perceived them. They finally decided to do something about it and changed their entire physical self. Soon this person found themselves the object of desire and enjoyed the benefits of that desire. Unfortunately heartache ensued and soon this person found themselves changing again. Only this time guarding their heart in the process. Soon another person walks into this person's life, and suddenly they find themselves in a situation they were unprepared for. All the old insecurities came back to the surface, and in the process this person started to push away at everyone. What they could not understand was that in the eyes of the other person they are beautiful. The most desirable person that person as ever come across.
How can someone who has spent their whole lives one way suddenly change their outlook on life? We can't hope to make people change to suit our needs in them, we have to accept them for who they are, and if we can't accept them then we need to let them know.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What one person deems as beautiful another person may deem as ugly. We can not hope to understand why some people find other people attractive. Sure there are many scientific ways to figure it out.
The axiom here is that people are generally attracted to people who are just like them. It use to be said that opposites attract, but sometimes those opposites end up clashing because each person has different expectations of the other. They set the standards high so there is no hope for the other to possibly reach them.
People who tend to be similar to each other have a deeper understanding of each other because they truly get what the other person is going through.
I'm not saying that relationships with two polar opposite people don't work, but what I am saying is that people need to be conscience of who they are in a relationship with and how they want that relationship work.
This person in the story has a beautiful heart. Because of that beautiful heart a physical beauty is able to shine through, and is able to change the physical into something very desirable.
But just like physical beauty is in the eye of the beholder so is spiritual beauty. Some people don't find compassion sexy, some people don't find empathy sexy, yet some people do find hardness of heart sexy, and yet we look at these people in awe and say "how could a person actually find that attractive?" Because it is in the eye of the beholder.
We can't judge how we love someone based on other's perception of love. We have to perceive it in our own way and cultivate it into something wonderful. There are billions of people in this world and I can guarantee to you that each person has beauty inside of them, and that there is another person who finds that person beautiful.
Stop listening to the world, and listen to your heart. You are beautiful, all of you out there. Each person reading this blog know you are beautiful and let that beauty shine through. Let people love you for you beauty and stop thinking that you have to prove something in order to be loved.
If the feelings are true, they will come naturally and you won't have to work at it. It will just be there. They will be so, powerful that it will knock you over and take your breath away...
