Hello Beautiful!

and that is how I greeted myself when I saw this selfie of mine. However, the night before and while I took this selfie, I had tummy’s pain. I prayed the vomit and the dizziness would just stop. It was painful, but how could I still radiate in this selfie?

It began the night before this selfie. I took a quick look in the mirror after I finished brushed my teeth. Honestly, I was shocked and said “ I am so glowing now”. I did not remember how did it happen? How it all began? What have changed inside of me?

The past one and half month was hard for me — mentally, emotionally, physically and financially. I thought I have fallen into deep depressions while actually My life is been redirected and rearrange by GOD and Universe.

Why am I so sure? Because If I am truly went through those moments as suffering then my face wouldn’t be glowing! It’s just the past one and half month secretly,

GOD and Universe is rejuvenating and healing my mind, body and soul.

Have you ever been in a situation where you can not even see your own face in the mirror? You may say “ I do spend time in the mirror, grooming myself before I go to work or before I go to sleep”, but really aren’t these simple activities already become a habit? When did the last time you look yourself in the mirror & you are so in love with how you look, the white hairs that are growing, the wrinkles, the freckles , or the acne that starting to gone?

When did the last time you are observing yourself and praising yourself in the mirror with love and dignity “you are so beautiful / handsome?”

The world can judge you through their eyes or perhaps your “friends” may do some marketing for you to lose weight, use different skincare, do some facial treatments or perhaps tell you to do operation to change your look. And that is just alright! You should not drag yourself into their judgement or ambition to “create your look”.

It is all back to you! You can lose 10 kgs and still you feel not beautiful. You can do the most expensive facial yet after sometime you realise why your face is not glowing naturally. Or you can just make a perfect adjustments for your body and yet, at random day you look yourself in the mirror and say “why do my soul still lost?”

Well, beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, but the feeling of being beautiful, the glowing of your face comes from inside of you. The world may voted you as the most beautiful woman (handsome man) but if your soul and your inner self does not glow naturally, you always have doubts of being beautiful/handsome.

Surely, it is not my job or your circle to tell “you are beautiful” or to define “your beauty”. It’s your job to say to the window of your soul (your eyes) that you are beautiful.

And if the word “ I am beautiful” make your doubt rises or make you feel little, then Keep saying that to yourself as much as you can. The best time is when you wake up and before you go to sleep. So before you say to yourself that you are beautiful then let me be the first who said

“ You are beautiful because GOD is not just giving you a physical body and mind but HE gives you Heart and Soul too. “

The beauty of your heart and soul is unseen by others and sometimes by yourself because you are not dare to see the beautiful light shines inside of you and from within you!
