If I had one message
for the women* of this world,
it would be this:
Remember,
You’re Already Beautiful
You’re Already Beautiful

I’m all for self-improvement.
Hey, if I had something that needed improving;
I’d improve it.
Or buy a new one.
But seriously, ...
I feel sorry for all those people,
especially girls and women,
who starve themselves to try to look thinner.
Sadly,
if you don’t like yourself when you’re not skinny,
you won’t like yourself when you’re thin either.
What you need to realize is:
You’re already beautiful!
You are.
Absolutely gorgeous!
In one way or another, probably in several ways you don’t even realize.
I’m not saying don’t watch what you eat or don’t exercise,
I’m saying:
If you want others to value you,
you must first value yourself.
Once you find the beauty inside yourself,
you can let it shine outside for everyone else.
Learn to love yourself.
If you don’t love yourself,
why should anyone else love you?
But even if you don’t love yourself,
you are still loved.
You are loved.
Loved with an eternal, unconditional love.
Consider this:
The amazing Love that created the Universe loves you.
You!
Yes, you!
Not because of your looks;
not because of your wit;
nor the way you laugh in all the right places,
but because of Who Love Is.
In Love’s eyes, you are already beautiful.
So you don’t have to buy a ton of makeup.
But you should smile.
And give thanks to the Love Who created you.
Remember this maxim?:
God doesn’t make junk.
And remember:
You have value. You have beauty. You matter.
You’re important. You are loved.
And you have a purpose.
Never forget how fascinating you are.
