When You Feel Complete, When Your Cup Fills Up, Everything Looks Beautiful :
"Why do you want a divorce?" the judge asked the young man.
"Your Honor," he said, "I can't stand her when I'm sober and she can't stand me when I'm drunk."
When someone does not find you beautiful, please know that it is mostly about them. (Hope you don't interpret this as a moral of the joke.) While you may change a little to work a common ground to see what the other person likes, but beyond that, there is not much you can do. If you want to win approvals of others, if that is what moves you, well then, you better dress, behave and be the way they want. If you vainly want to keep the world happy, you have to play a puppet in its inept and clumsy hands. You pay for the dress but the strings come attached at no charge. If for a moment though, you remove external affirmations from the equation, if you eliminate their acceptance from your perception about you, how will you behave, what will you do? In my opinion, that is how you ought to look at yourself. It is infinitely more important to find yourself beautiful when you look in the mirror than for others to find you pretty when they look at your picture. No one is looking at you with naked eyes; who you are and what they see is out of sync. Their sight is filtered by their lenses of beliefs, perceptions and desires. They see what they want to see — this is where beauty loses its independence. Learn not to bother. It's worth it. As long as you are honest with yourself and you are doing your best, you are just fine.
If you can complement yourself, you can complete yourself. When you feel complete, when your cup fills up, everything looks beautiful. Beautiful is what you connect with, what matters to you. You are beautiful.
Go on! tell someone how spectacular they are and how they have made your life beautiful! Once done, repeat it in the mirror. Don't tell me you haven't yet fallen in love with yourself.
Om Namah Shivay.
