...what my problem is, but I have been so preoccupied with my outward appearance lately. I have been putting so much focus on outward beauty and measuring my happiness on whether or not I look skinny "today". I've been critical of myself and in result have also become critical others.
But today is the day to change.
When I watched Beauty and the Beast in theaters, I loved it so much, but I felt more like the Beast than Beauty.
The good thing is is that there is always HOPE.
Even though I've been so pathetic lately, I am very ready to change and become a better person.
Day by day I can become better and work on myself.
I can be kinder to myself and especially to others.
We're all human.
We've all made mistakes.
We've all looked like hobos at many points in our lives.
I have to keep reminding myself that it's our inside that counts- our heart, that is.
Going back to the movie Beauty and the Beast, remember that the whole point of the movie was that Beauty fell in love with the Beast's heart AND even though Belle was beautiful, it was her golden heart that mattered.
I read a quote by Emma Watson the other day that I loved.
"I keep telling myself that I'm a human being who's not made to look like a doll, and that who I am as a person is more important than whether at that moment I have a nice figure."
That says it all.
So- I'm in the mood to be motivational.
Let's all start focusing on our inward appearances.
Don't get me wrong. Wanting to look pretty and all is good and even important, but I'm done comparing myself to others and being critical of everyone.
Let's all turn into the Beast after his heart changed.
When he became humble.
When he became kind.
When his insides finally showed on the outside, and he became the prince that he was inside.
So cheesy, but true.
Get to it!
Let's become the kind-hearted, compassionate people that God intended for us to be...
...and seize the day.
