For many people it is easy to feel shame and to focus on their failures. But each of us has an inner beauty and today, I would like to help you to identify some of what is your inner beauty.
The best way to do this is to place yourself in a beautiful setting, one of peace and tranquility as you consider your inner beauty. A botanic garden, a park, along side the sea shore or perhaps a chapel, in which there is no-one else present but you, could serve you nicely.
And as you consider your inner beauty, are these some of your attributes:
1) Arms that have held a baby.
2) Hands that reach out to those in need.
3) A mind that remembers birthdays, anniversaries and other important events.
4) Courage that leads you to take action for the good of all, when others hesitate.
5) A smile that makes life a little nicer for everyone you meet.
6) A kind spirit that does favors for others, often without being asked
7) An integrity that you believe in and that others trust.
8) A loving and giving presence children can depend on.
9) Ears that can listen and a heart that can forgive.
10) A gentleness that sends ripples of peace and love across the grand pond of life.
If some of these describe your attributes, you have a tremendous inner beauty that makes this a better world because you are a part of it. Now please add to this list, and note each attribute so that the next time you feel down about yourself, you can re-read it and say to yourself, "I am a beautiful and loving person and I am proud to be me."
