Inner Beauty

It's not one that can be painted, you can't wipe it off at the end of the day and you don't need to go to the store to buy anything for it. It's your - Inner Beauty - and it is beautiful.

I feel from most people when they say they are 'happy' that they're really not. And I don't mean to sound as if I know what's going on in their lives or anything like that, I say that because it should be something that makes you feel GOOD and want to do GOOD things all the time. It doesn't have work hours, lunch breaks or holidays, if you are truly happy, it never stops.

If you asked me right now if I am happy, I would say "I guess so", I know I'm not 100% happy, there is SO much on my to-do list and a never ending pile of doubts/opinions/problems. But it shouldn't, I mean of course have a to-do list but it shouldn't get in the way of happiness. It's easy to say - I know - I say it to myself all the time but I'm still stuck at "I guess so".

In a world filled with negativity, it's the simple things that make me smile, when people help others and not whipping their phones out to film, when people get along or when random people can have conversations waiting at the shop cue or how excited your pets are everyday to see you. We should take a tip from our beloved fury animals, jump up & down every time you see someone, after a while it can become infectious and people will start doing the same back to you.

There are so many beautiful people out there, and if you look really closely, you'll be surprised to see that not any two people are exactly the same, not even twins. So we can't compare ourselves to others, we should embrace it! It's okay to tell someone they look beautiful or that their smile is pretty, I promise they won't bite, they will love it and it will boost their self confidence.

What I've said so far is more about what you can do for other people to make them feel good, but I haven't forgotten about you! What I think is important for our inner beauty and true happiness is working towards bettering ourselves, and doing what we're so afraid to do. I'll give an example;

If you are scared to quit the job you hate - don't wait! Do it now! The weight will be lifted off your shoulders and new doors will open.

If you feel inadequate to people around you - learn to embrace yourself instead of comparing your self.

If you want to make a change - start now. Message someone a random sweet message, ask if anyone needs help today, go a day without your phone and spend time with yourself.

Work out what you want to improve and then do it. If you feel insecure about yourselves, unfollow celebrities/influencers on social media, tell yourself you are beautiful everyday even if you don't feel it sometimes, find a book on self love or do something in the direction you have wanted to go. You wanted to travel? Open up a savings account named 'travel' and deposit $5. You wanted to open a business? Grab a notepad and start brainstorming.

The mentality here is, get UP & GO! Be like Nike and Just Do It! Because you can. And I promise you, you will feel so good and so happy that you have finally done it. You will feel like you can do anything but you just need to do it once.

After I resigned my job, I started my business the next day. After I started my business, I got clients, posted ads everywhere and then I started a little shop selling Glitter Haven glitters, after I did that I got asked to do a runway for an INTERNATIONAL art organisation, I started my blog posts, and in two weeks I am doing another course do add to my business. And I will keep going because once I have started I feel like I can do anything.

But now, I need that determination and persistence in my personal life. I have my beautiful husband who always supports me in everything I do and I am so grateful for him. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be here writing these posts. I would be stuck in my old job.

Inner Beauty. Inner. Beauty. We all have it. You could be passionate, kind, loyal, determined, confident, good sense of humour, positive attitude, good communicator or listener, honest. I want you to name at least 2 that resemble you, you don't have to comment it just tell yourself and then tell yourself everyday.

Okay you beautiful souls, I think I have taken enough time out of your day today. Time to focus on you. So go do whatever makes you happy - I'm not taking no for an answer ;)
