The worlds defintion of beauty

Location

We as a nation have made the word beauty something that we can only see in magazines or on tv. Why must we be defined by looks? Why do i have to look to someone else to tell me that im beautiful. If i could change one thing, it would be that the world would be capable of seeing how much they are worth and how beautiful (inside and out) they are. My momma told me as a child, "you are gonna be somebody great. Your gonna change the world". At this age, we believe everything our parents tell us and we even have confidence about it. What changed? Who are we to say that Gods creation is ugly. None of us are perfect. I for one dont want to be perfect. Perfect is so boring. We were all created with a purpose and with a value. No one can tell us who we are. We are worth so much more than what people may place above us. I want to see people be able to walk into a room with confidence. I want to see people hold their head up high and be able to smile. I want to see people be able to be themselves. God only made one of us and i think its awesome that we get to discover who God made us to be each and every day. We have to get back to that place where we stop looking for others to tell us our worth and actually see it for ourselves. People will try to tell you who you are each and every day. Its up to you to choose to believe it. We all have imperfections so i will not allow anyone to tell me that i am less than what i am. No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you are BEAUTIFUL. Nobody can be you like you can. If you are sitting there trying to be someone else, a precious life is being wasted because who is gonna be you?
