True Value Comes From The Inside Not The Outside!
Sophie wanted to look good to her friends she was a teenager and image was important to her at that time in her life. She believed that looking good on the outside was very important and really mattered. All her friends felt like that too so to her it was normal.
But one day a psychologist came to school to talk about image and self esteem to everyone. This information was new to her no one had ever spoken to her about feeling good on the inside and about yourself. This feeling good about being you, what you are what your values are and what you do with your life is the most important thing. It matters much more than what you look like on the outside. Because having high self esteem and feeling good on the inside will make you shine on the outside too. Sophie learnt all about this and started to work on her self- esteem which was very low at this time. She realised that working on how she felt internally was life changing to her life. So she did the steps the psychologist gave her to work on her issues. As a result she had a much better life and was a happier and more stable person. When you work on your issues it means that you are able to help others around you more as a result.
So work on being beautiful on the inside like for example what you give out to the world. What you do what your work is and how much you give to others this is really important not your looks. Work on improving yourself and any issues that you have so that you can have a better healthier life. Try to do the best work that you can and do what you love to do so you are happy. Being mentally and emotionally healthy on the inside means that anything is possible. It gives you the tools to do so many things with your life. Because what you are internally is everlasting it lasts forever and does not go away. When you do good in the world you feel good inside and this shows on the outside too. It is a permanent improvement not like outer beauty that is temporary, artificial and fades over time. Being a kind person, having high self esteem, helping others, having good values to live your life and making others lives better in some way will make you feel real good forever. Real beauty come from your heart from your gifts and doing what you love to do not from what you look like.
Take care of your looks and your body this is important too. So eat healthy and exercise and dress nice to take care of yourself. But work on your inner issues and your self esteem as a priority. Another tip for you is this when you are having a bad day or starting to feel bad or negative. Stop and do something that will make you feel good again if you can or as soon as you can. It is important that you spend some time weekly or daily to do some work on you and how you are or making you grow or learn more and do better. Could be reading a book, listening to a podcast, being in the garden, taking a walk, doing something spiritual that matters to you, going to church, educating yourself, have counselling, mediation or doing a course. What ever it is that makes you feel better and more whole again do that.
Later Sophie remembered what her mum had said to her as a child and she wanted to use this information to help others and the world. Cos wouldn’t it be nice to leave a legacy of making things better in some way in your life like helping others or working for a cause. My mum taught me a little saying “To always leave a room better than you found it and that if you do this you can’t go wrong!” So I would like to offer a challenge to the world. Lets leave the world a better place than how we found it. Wouldn’t that be a great legacy to leave to our children and our children’s children. It is much more important than what a person looks like on the outside. Spread kindness, courage and love because these last forever and they change lives in the process.
Moral: Leave the world a better place than how you found it!
