I wanna be real beautiful


beauty is outward and inward
beauty is flesh and spirit 
beauty comes from your inner chasis 
beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror
beauty is a light in the heart
beauty is endless 
beauty is physical 
    in our beauty obsessed culture, every time we open a magazine, turn on tv, search internet, watch movies, we see how far our personal reality is from the standard perpetuated by the media because of this we are dissatisfied with who we are, full of jealousy, envy, competition nobody can win, endless chase. i personally longed and hungered for beauty and i began to tell GOD "LORD I WANNA BE REAL BEAUTIFUL''. Telling God i wanted to be real beautiful was one of the best step i ever took because He opened my eyes to realities that brought light into my heart, peace into my mind,  and introduced smile in my soul. I say REALITY because it was beyond knowledge, it was beyond understanding, it was beyond thoughts,it was so REAL that it transformed my memoir, my existence, my biography...
 I realized that beauty is a chain that starts from inside and ends outside:
 beauty is giving your life to Christ, giving your life to Christ is letting love into your life, letting love into your life is same as letting the spirit of God into your life, letting the spirit of God into your life means you have to submit to let Him rule, letting Him rule is Letting Him to mold you, letting Him mold you is letting Him lighten up your character, letting Him lighten up your character is letting Him reflect His glory through you, letting Him reflect His glory through you is reflecting a beauty that does not get shabby, frayed, it is reflecting a beauty that transmutes life, it is reflecting a beauty that will foster other beauties.
  when this reality dawned on me, i began speaking myself out of wrong mindset and started preaching real beauty to myself...I encourage YOU breakout of insecurity, let GOD in to preach beauty to you so you can re-preach to yourself and other folks around you..

war against the mind

HI..... there is only one you, you don't have the same potential as your friend, sister, brother, role model... there is only one of you in the world, you have to find your own way, the beauty of your uniqueness is doing what has never been done, why is someone else dictating your life and thoughts? why are you letting the media encourage you to be who you are not? why are you doing what every other person is doing? why are you so captivated with living other people's dreams and visions? why are you afraid to live your own life,? why do you think doing it your own way is not the best? why do you think the world do not need your idea? why are you  struggling to be who people expect you to be? why do you let people around you hold you back? why are you waiting to be perfect before becoming something in life? why are you waiting for convenience, opportunities to move you? why do you let excuses bound you? excuses get you zero percent closer to your goals. its cool to be a dreamer ...

WHY CAN'T I KEEP TO MY NEW YEAR DECISIONS?

Image
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE  Here is another year of making new resolutions  A time we write down all the things  we wish to do,  A time we wish to make new friends and exit old ones A time we promise ourselves to be more serious  I personally can't do without making new resolutions, i do this because i love targeting my life, i do it more frequent than once in a year, but i do it at the beginning of every year because its NEW, new decisions, new date, new everything. Its a personal culture and mindset though. I write down all the habits i wish to stop in my new journal for that year, how to stop those bad habits and maybe good habits to replace. Before, i learnt how to do it the right way, i would write down everything in my journal on 31st night and i would keep to this for at least 1 month and everything goes back to normal.      Make sure you continue reading, because i will eventually say why it happens this way. but before i go into that...

fleeting "love"

first of all, love has nothing to do with emotions  love is a choice love is the response to understanding the value of a thing love is a law and law has no feelings lov e is a force generated by decisions love has no reas on   I actually didnt plan to write today, i was just discussing with myself and my journal, i found it really interesting so i decided to share. the question that actually led to the whole discussion was        "why is it so difficult to love everybody?"  The truth is that some people could be soo difficult and some other people do not accept love. Apart from this two reasons which we always tag on our minds. the general answer to this question is most of us dont love ourselves.     Before we can ever think of l oving people, we have to think of loving ourselves first. when it comes to LOVE it is YOU  first before anybody. This statement sounds selfish right? but calm down cause it has noth...
