Beauty is the truth reflected back to you.

What is beautiful? Beauty cannot be defined. It is dependent on your perspective. 

Beauty will inspire you. It is often what we see as lacking in ourselves or our surroundings. Beauty can be recognized instantly, or be appreciated over time. It should never be denied.

Beauty will bring you things and opportunity in life, but it can also attract attention not desired.  Some covet beauty and want to possess it. We often destroy the things we love when we try to possess them. Beauty has much meaning and can lead to unwarranted respect. This can exaggerate one's pride.

You are beautiful.

I want you to remember to pursue and appreciate beauty, but never try to possess it. Make the most of what you have been given, and try not to compare yourself to others. Beauty will represent health and wellness to most, but be envied and reviled by others. You cannot concern yourself with what others consider beautiful. If you are honest, sincere, and passionate about who you are and what you do, your beauty will shine through.
