She had very beautiful eyes and she knew that. Whenever someone looked at her face, they always looked at her eyes and she always received her compliments. No one ever bothered about her body or how else she looked. People simply said that she was beautiful or her eyes were so beautiful. So I asked her the reason?
She smiled and said (winked her eyes) I know what is my strength and I focus on that. Because I focus on that, other’s also focus on that. For once I never think of what I do not have or my body is not like a model etc. Everyday I wake up and thank God for giving me beautiful eyes! So I am expanding on what I have.
Perfect! And I know what she meant. I remember once a gentleman visited and lacked confidence. he always wondered if he could grow higher in his job because he did not have a very good personality. He felt that he had that village touch. He tried working hard on that but he always felt that he was behind his urban peers. People also made fun of him in office. How he dressed, his hair style etc. So he was focused on what he did not have and people also focused on same. After that he started focusing on his own skills and soon he realized everyone also talked about same. HE started getting opportunities to express his skills more, people started complimenting him for his work, and he started growing in office. He wondered that if he was his own hindrance and the answer is yes! Unintentionally but yes!
So, know that you are beautiful. It is not about having it all. It is about knowing what you have, appreciating that, being grateful for that and focusing on that. You will find your own beauty in that. So know what you have and work on that!
