Recognizing Our Own Beauty

We can’t help looking at them. The way they walk into a room. The way they effortlessly glide between conversations and people. There is an elegance that lingers long past when they are gone. For some, it is physical attributes. For others, it is their wit, demeanor, or the way they view life. We all have our own beauty, but it becomes tarnished when we try to compare ourselves to others. Be true to who you are, the gifts you have been given. The beauty lies within those gifts.
