BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

My mother sat me down and said, ...you are beautiful to me but  you must know that you are beautiful for yourself. You should also be aware that true beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which means that how beautiful you are to other people is always going to be subjective to who is looking at you at that time, and since you will always be looking at yourself first, you should find your own beauty and feel good about who you are.” She went on to tell me that I needed to take the time to identify those things that I found to be beautiful about myself but also celebrate what I thought was weird or unusual because those were the special things that God had given to me that made me different from everybody else. I learned how to appreciate, embrace, and enhance those special things so that they would shine rather than be hidden...We learned to love and identify with what made us uniquely beautiful.”

THE TRAGEDY OF FOCUSING ON PEOPLE'S FAULT

A speaker held up a blank sheet of paper and asked "What do you see:?" The reply was "A piece of blank paper". He then placed on the podium, made a tiny dot on the centre and held it up again. "What do you see now?". A dot was the unanimous reply from the audience.
The speaker then said "Imagine this black paper is a person. The small do you saw is his/her biggest fault. The white background surrounding  the dot represents all the person's worthwhile qualities, goodness and beauty in him/her which we so easily fail to see. Didn't you say you saw the dot when i showed you this blank sheet of paper the second time? Do you realize that you focused your attention on that one dot, and completely ignored to say, 'We saw a blank paper on which there is a tiny dot' Often a fault seems bigger that it really is and we allow it to overshadow the many positive aspects of that person's personality. Next time you have an opportunity to assess a person, highlight more of his positive side than his negative side which often times may be quite minute and insignificant comparatively. Learn to see things from a positive angle. A half full cup and a half empty cup maybe the same but the former was quite positive than the later. That should always be the spirit.
