Love That Makes Us See Beauty
February 14th is set aside to show our appreciation and love for one another. I’m sure you would agree with me, appreciation and love should be expressed all throughout the year. I came across an interesting quote sent out by Tony Robbins through twitter. It stated; “It is not beauty that endears; its love that makes us see beauty. “ –Leo Tolstory-
As a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant, I have the great pleasure to cross paths with many beautiful women. Today, I speak of the woman who for the first time sees the beauty within herself.
As I sit across the table and I notice the uncertainty of trying the skin care products, let alone even putting on a dash of color; she states, I don’t know if I could do this every day, it seems like too much work. Well, if I could teach you everything you needed to know to take care of your skin and a few simple techniques with a little color; it would only take five minutes in the morning and about five minutes at night. Do you think you could stick to a daily regiment? Still some uncertainty?
It wasn’t until after the appointment that I understood the uncertainty. As women we sometimes don’t believe we deserve to look and feel beautiful. We are too busy taking care of everyone else and never taking the time out for ourselves. Does this sound familiar? I’m sure at some point we all have been in this position. As we grow in life, we begin to understand who we are and start to see our inner beauty in a whole new light.
She looks into the mirror with her head held high, shoulders back and with a smile she says, “I LOVE IT”. With the spark of the eye, she realized it was something deeper inside which came alive. She thought back to her younger years and whispered, oh my. She had lost what was so dear. I left this woman’s home full of cheer. Yet I found out later on, when she closed her door, she broke down in tears.
The following year on February 14th, she called me and wanted to show me her appreciation as her Personal Beauty Consultant. She shared with me her story of not loving herself and it was on that day she saw the BEAUTY and began to love self again.
Take time out to pamper you and appreciate the love within.
