In life real beauty comes from awareness and honesty, you have to be aware and confidant about who you are and you have to be honest with yourself. We need to create a deep appreciation for ourselves, and love ourselves inside out, regardless of our imperfections and flaws. Those who are comfortable in their own skin develop a deeper beauty, a beauty that flows from the inside out; they are radiant and a light glows so bright it’s truly amazing.

At times, our lives change quickly, sometimes things change so fast that the circumstances outpaces our minds and our hearts. During those times, I think, is when we develop the greatest pain; whether it’s from the loss of a house, family member, dear friend, life partner or even a pet.  I can tell you though wholeheartedly, from any experience in life, good or bad; you will learn to grow accustomed to it and even learn to see the beauty that lies within the pain. Eventually you learn to live your new life happily and you won’t even imagine or remember how things were before.

You start to realize that maybe your life hasn’t been so chaotic, and sometimes the best way to live freely is to resign from attachments, I believe suffering is the road to transformation; it humbles us and allows us to appreciate life and live in the moment with gratitude. Appreciate everyone and everything, cause the real humor in it all is that nobody ever really knows just how much anybody is hurting, you could be sitting right next to someone who is utterly broken and feeling pain in their hearts beyond what anyone of us can comprehend, and you would have no clue it. How wonderful it would be to bless someone like this with a genuine warm smile, and alleviate that pain, even just for a moment. Every day is a blessing, use thing new day to not only live and breathe but to share some genuine compassion for each other, even the smallest amount of compassion will create a major ripple effect in the hearts of those touched by it.
