Be Yourself

As cliché as it sounds, being yourself is the most beautiful thing you can do. It doesn't really matter what society deems as beautiful. Everyone has different viewpoints of life and experiences. Wanted or unwanted, these experiences make you stronger and open your eyes to what truly matters in life.

Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, valuing yourself allows you to see your own beauty and worth without waiting for others to give you their stamp of approval. Cancer survivors, burn victims, paraplegics, and the homeless would all be waiting until the entire world's population would unanimously agree on their worth. 

At some point, you can't think about what everyone else thinks. Superficial beauty is something highly valued in our day in age, with apps like Instagram and Tinder feeding into unrealistic ideals. I am here to tell you that you are beautiful no matter what — nationality, skin color, facial features, health conditions, physical capabilities, mental capacity, monetary worth, age, and body structure aside. Own your imperfections like a queen. Let go of the worry and fear of judgment. Be you. Be authentic, and you will never have to question your value.  Watch the Video via Be You Live Life.

Dare to be your own kind of beautiful!
