Be Beautiful….huh?

Be Beautiful.  Hmmm. I DO say that alot don’t I? So..what does that mean? Do I mean that you can just decide to be beautiful and so therefore will be??  Yep. Somethin’ like that.

While of course my “theory” is based on the assumption that we are all inherently beautiful because we are human beings, and of course that is true.  Admit it to yourself…it IS true!  If we ALL carried the exact same ideal of beauty, we would all be stalking the same two people on earth….which would be a bit mad don’t you think?  We each find different aspects, quirks, and features to be attractive.  We each have our own idea of what is beautiful in others.  Why can’t we accept all of the things that we are ourselves as beautiful? 

Now…why is it true? Ok.  Consider this: our society has a certain “image” that we consider to be beautiful.  Other societies have very different standards of beauty.  Ours is based on unrealistic, materialistic, commercial, and otherwise rediculous standards of what is beautiful.  The basic and simplified reason for this is: If companies use an unrealistic image of beauty to promote their product and thus create the belief in you that if you use that product you will be closer to attaining that station of “beautiful”, then they have created, just for YOU, a neverending cycle of purchasing power.  Meaning that YOU will continue to purchase their product in the hopes that you will reach the similarity to that image.  But of course you will NEVER reach it as it is completely UN-realistic remember?  And so, these incredibly outrageous standards of beauty MUST be maintained in order for the continuity of capitalism in Western society.  We are, I think, just at the cusp of beginning to change all of this, but there is such a long way to go still. 

So…if we remove our societal standards of beauty, what is left?  Well..you are not a goldfish, you are not a bumblebee, you are not a house plant (I hope), you are not a chicken…… you are a human being.  You are unique.  You are beautiful.  It is your flaws and quirks that make you YOU and as such are what make you beautiful.  The kind of beautiful that transcends societal standards, cultural ideals, and time. 

So…voila!… all you need to do is recognize that you are inherently beautiful and you will be deciding to be beautiful and therefore will be!
