Will Power


They say some things in life are impossible to acheive.
I say "If there is a will, there's a way"
I have lived by this motto for the past four years,
And truth be told, it is true!

So readers, my food for thought for today is
If you want something, you will find a way to get it.
Find the determination to acheive that something,
And find the best way to make it happen!
 
So Go for it.
With no fear.
With all your will.
JUST GO FOR IT.

Stay determined,
Gigi

True Beauty


The other day, I was walking around the mall and
I noticed that our society is very superficial.
When you walk into a store, they have a definite picture 
Of what they want us to believe is beauty.
And that annoyed me.

I am sorry but who are they to define beauty?
When did it become obligatory for us to look all the same to be beautiful?
Who gave them the right to set guidelines on what is beautiful?
Since when being skinny was the IT of being beautiful?
Or better yet,
Since when having a certain nose classified a person as beautiful? 
Or my least favorite, 
Since when did the color of your skin become a criteria of beauty?

It has gotten to the point where 
We start to judge people based on these given criteria.
I will be honest and say that I did it the other day
And classified a random person based on mere appearances.
Quite frankly, I was ashamed.
I should know better. 
We should know better to judge people based on appearances.

What makes a person beautiful is more then their physical.
True beauty comes from within.
And throughout the years I have learned that
The only person that isn't beautiful, 
Cannot see the beauty within others.
Better yet, the person who isn't beautiful 
Cannot see the beauty within themselves.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross once said:
"People are like stained-glass windows. 
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, 
But when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed 
Only if there is a light from within"

So readers, learn how to define YOUR beauty.
And make sure your beauty is not just superficial
Make sure your beauty comes from WITHIN
