Let your inner beauty out. If you have been on the journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance, by now you would have learnt to believe in yourself, respect and love the person that you are. Being kind to yourself and having learnt to respect yourself first above all (faults and shortcomings included). You must have learnt a whole lot more about the real you. The journey might have been difficult, because changing your actions and making yourself a priority might have you putting some loved ones after you, but the truth is the journey is well worth it. If you have given yourself permission to be true to who you really are, then, your inner beauty is ready to radiate and light up your life and that of everyone around you. Even those who you no longer pandered to will appreciate and respect the new, real you.
Once you are true to yourself, you open yourself up to face your shortcomings and accept them. You can then change whatever you want to change, from within, acting on your own rules. Being true to yourself means being true to your dreams and abilities as well, and owning up to the faults you might have in order to achieve great things. If you are not staying true to yourself, you would likely be too busy trying to please everyone else to even realize what would make you happy. Unfortunately, trying to please a myriad of other people will leave you unable to achieve much of anything great, or even be happy within yourself.
There is a sense of inner peace and contentment that comes with realizing who exactly you are and loving that person irrevocably. The beauty you appreciate in others will be multiplied and intensified in being true to yourself and appreciating yourself. Let your light shine! Let the best of you out! Trust and appreciate the love you have for yourself, get to meet the most important person in your journey, and let this person lead you to the truth and beauty inside of you.
You have an obligation to fall in love with the person inside of you, truly deeply and fully in love with the real you. And you must stay true to this love and just as you would foster the relationship with a lover to get the best out of it, you must do the same with this relationship. Get to know the dreams, aspirations, fears, strengths and triumphs that this person has, and nurture the good parts of them; while helping them overcome the less desirable aspects. Just like a well-loved person, your inner beauty would shine forth and even attract people to you. Achieving your heart’s desires and aspirations would be so much easier and more rewarding when you are in touch with the true you and never let go of this person for anyone.
You must never forget; you literally shine from within when you know and show who you truly are.
