The Beauty and the Beast - Which Are You?

The art of saying I love me.
An easy task right?
To stand and say I love me, I’m fabulous, I’m the best.

And yet…

We appear to want to claim the title beast.
It sits better in our psyche. To draw attention to that which we don’t like.

Why?

For a fear of people contradicting us, telling us that we aren’t that great, that they might laugh at our vanity?
Or is it that we have forgetten how to love ourselves as we are spent looking after others? Giving our love, attention and goodness to those around that along the way we have ended up at the bottom of the heap. And by the time you get there, well there is nothing left to give to you. You’re emotionally spent, exhausted. And anyway, you don’t matter.

But oh yes you do.

For without you and your love where would anyone else be?
What happens when you claim that birthright of yours to be beautiful? To say you are a beautiful woman?
How does that make you feel?

Is it time you took a stand to change that feeling?
To loose yourself in the beauty of all that you do? The contribution you make to the world? The essence of you expressed joyfully in all that you share?

What would happen to you if you decided that today was the day that you come first?
How would that shape your day?
What would change?

And is it time you did just that?

I ask you, that if you find it hard to say you are the beauty in the story then today is the day you say no more.
Think about who you really are. What does she feel? What does she do? How does she act?
Let go of any preconceptions, comparisons and loose yourself into the task at hand.
For when you do the chances are you’re not wondering about the way you look.
Instead you express the very uniqueness that makes you a beautiful person.
This is what you’re seeking when you expect beauty, for it’s in that moment that you really are you.
What is your attitude now?
This is a critical factor in being able to embrace your beauty.

And it’s imperative that your attitude is one that loves you.
