What makes you beautiful!

January 18, 2017 By hautegreyfox

 

 

 

“You are beautiful!” This has been one of the best compliments I’ve received lately. There is something about that word that will instantly brighten your day — especially when the word is about more than your physical appearance.

When my sweet Soror mentioned that I was beautiful, she went on to describe all of the qualities that made her statement true. She talked about my personality, my gentle and kind nature, the level of compassion I possess, and my passion when helping others.

Then, something weird began to happen. As my Soror discussed what made me beautiful, I could feel the uneasiness start to creep in my thoughts, and my self-deprecating comments began to take center stage. My Soror refused to hear such things, ending the scene of negativity as quickly as she shined the light on my beauty.

After that exchange, I wondered, “Why can I sincerely and easily describe attractive qualities in others, but feel so uncomfortable receiving a compliment?”

Maybe it has something to do with conditioning over the years. Have I become uncomfortable with accepting compliments? Am I afraid that responding with a simple ‘thank you’ will be viewed as being prideful? How can I balance humility and confidence as God graciously shapes me into the woman he desires to see?

Beautiful people genuinely value and see beauty in others. I challenge you to take notes for the day. How often do you see beauty? Even in the darkest room, one candle can illuminate a space. Are you looking for the candle or focusing on the surrounding darkness?

Haute Grey Foxes Suggestion: You are beautiful. Now, accept it, and respond to life with this attitude.

    Wow! I love this post. I’m also practicing, to just accept a sincere compliment. I know it definitely has a lot to do with conditioning…in my case. Negative relationships..self doubt, etc. I’m at a stage in life where I’m determined to allow God to shape, mold and grow me into the woman he so desires. I know it’s never to late. Thanks for the inspiration. I can’t wait for the next installment. And by the way…you look beautiful ; )

What does New Year’s Day mean to me? No resolu What does New Year’s Day mean to me?
 
No resolutions.
 
I’ve been on that rollercoaster before, and it never left me feeling my best. Instead, I dream big — and I take it one day at a time. I create a vision board with affirmations, motivational reminders, and more. 
 
I don’t have to accomplish every goal in 2023. I just have to believe my goals are never too big to achieve. 
 
How do you approach the new year?

Wednesday Words of Wisdom - FIND YOUR FIRE #Find Wednesday Words of Wisdom - FIND YOUR FIRE

#Find your fire and do whatever it is that wakes you up, whatever it is that makes you feel alive.  Do what inspires you, what moves you, what makes your heart race. Do the things that ignite passion into your bones.  Chase your dreams, follow your heart, capture the moments that take your breath away.  Do not settle for mediocrity, you have a fire in your soul and a burning in your heart.  Do not let fear, convenience or comfort put out those flames.  Hold onto what lights them with your light.  You are capable and deserving of magic, of love, of the extraordinary-you just have to believe it.  Discover what sets a spark in you, follow the flames and light a fire so big that nothing can extinguish it - there is enough fire inside you to burn brighter than the sun.”

2022 is winding down, and I can summarize the year 2022 is winding down, and I can summarize the year with one statement:
 
I was here. 
 
This year, I spent less time scrolling — and more time seeing the beauty before me. I traveled more, spent time with family, and checked some things off my to-do list. Each of these moments brought me tremendous joy. 
 
Without a doubt, 2022 was the best year of my life. Something about my 60th birthday brought me back to the most essential pieces of my identity.
 
I’m excited for 2023. Are you?
