Being Beautiful
A Man shared with Old Dog that his mother brought him up thinking that it was more important to be beautiful than to look beautiful. That “being beautiful” was best felt as a verb. That how one created beauty or saw beauty in others was expression of beauty. All else is just a matter of taste.
Knowing that each one has there own unique individual beauty was a stronger view of life than comparing oneself to “models”.
Too much price has been paid with eating disorders, surgery, and feeling shame and lack of love to the idols of fashion and style demanding thinness etc. This is always focused on an unconscious drive for “sterotypical beauty”.
Non stereotypical beauty, the awareness and acknowledgment that there is in encouraging others in feeling and realizing that the complete and full spectrum of beauty. That the expression of beauty is as simple and powerful as a smile, a kind word, or laughter is both a gift to give and receive. This mind set allows you live in with an appreciation for more expressions of creation in yourself and others. You will not be limited by what is popular and fashionable.
