You're beautiful...

Ran across this quote recently; I have really become a fan of this guy and his writings. Sorry if this has already been posted, but oh well, it's worth repeating!

You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance.

Get off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life.

It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!”

What can be seen if you look...

Beautiful

You are beautiful....with a world that can appear through blacks and greys, you bring color of life how you address each day...you show care and compassion for the hopelessly lost, with your eyes and hands ignoring the cost...you see what is beyond what many can see, using hope, empathy and dignity...Your beauty complex, you have a mind of your own, you choose your kindness, and where attention is shown...your beauty is deep, not just attached to your face, its how you carry, give freely, love with grace...Beauty in spirit, naked, open, carefree, is there on display for other to see...Beautiful you inside and out, in a world that will test you, to prove what you're about...

Pretty is what we see with our eyes.
Beauty is what we see with our hearts.

Some women may be prettier than others according to who's eyes are looking at them, but all women have beauty in themselves. Those that appear to be most beautiful, are those that care not about the pretty on the outside, but the joy of sharing the beauty that exists on the inside. It shows in her smile, the twinkle in her eyes, the warmth of her touch and embrace, the goodness of her heart being shown to everyone.

Pretty fades, beauty never will.

Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, it is in the heart, for the heart sees the beauty the eyes often miss.
 
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...if you love and see and feel only love...there is beauty....real beauty comes from inside...and people will know it...:rose:
 
Destroying the world's definition of beauty.

When you have a daughter you start to realize she's just as strong as everyone else in the house-a force to be reckoned with, a soul on fire with the same life and gifts and passions as any man. But sitting in this store aisle, you also begin to realize most people won't see her that way. They'll see her as a pretty face and a body to enjoy. And they'll tell her she has to look a certain way to have any worth or influence.

But words do have power and maybe, just maybe, the words of a father can begin to compete with the words of the world. Maybe a father's words can deliver his daughter through this gauntlet of institutionalized shame and into a deep, unshakeable sense of her own worthiness and beauty.

A father's words aren't different words, but they are words with a radically different meaning:

Brilliant strength. May your strength be not in your fingernails but in your heart. May you discern in your center who you are, and then may you fearfully but tenaciously live it out in the world.

Choose your dream. But not from a department store shelf. Find the still-quiet place within you. A real dream has been planted there. Discover what you want to do in the world. And when you have chosen, may you faithfully pursue it, with integrity and with hope.

Naked. The world wants you to take your clothes off. Please keep them on. But take your gloves off. Pull no punches. Say what is in your heart. Be vulnerable. Embrace risk. Love a world that barely knows what it means to love itself. Do so nakedly. Openly. With abandon.

Infallible. May you be constantly, infallibly aware that infallibility doesn't exist. It's an illusion created by people interested in your wallet. If you choose to seek perfection, may it be in an infallible grace-for yourself, and for everyone around you.

Age defying. Your skin will wrinkle and your youth will fade, but your soul is ageless. It will always know how to play and how to enjoy and how to revel in this one-chance life. May you always defiantly resist the aging of your spirit.

Flawless finish. Your finish has nothing to do with how your face looks today and everything to do with how your life looks on your last day. May your years be a preparation for that day. May you be aged by grace, may you grow in wisdom, and may your love become big enough to embrace all people. May your flawless finish be a peaceful embrace of the end and the unknown that follows, and may it thus be a gift to everyone who cherishes you.

Little One, you love everything pink and frilly and I will surely understand if someday makeup is important to you. But I pray three words will remain more important to you-the last three words you say every night, when I ask the question: ''Where are you the most beautiful?'' Three words so bright no concealer can cover them.

Where are you the most beautiful?

On the inside.

From my heart to yours,

Daddy
 
Brad, I don't have a catchy jpeg or gif, and I'm not copying and pasting any fancy quotations. This is just a few simple words straight from my heart.

You and Gracie are beautiful souls, and I love you both more than you'll ever know.

:kiss:
