Today,

at this one tiny moment, it suddenly dawned on me that we or maybe [me only] have actually been a little too engrossed in observing how and why people behave like such, places and things around me, while missing it in myself or ourselves. Many of us may not take time to notice or acknowledge the beauty in ourselves.

As I see it, it is never vain to consider our appearances too much, or maybe what we can only see in ourselves, are just imperfections. As a result, we may miss out the beauty that is closest to us, the beauty we are. We may sometimes see our beauty in a shallow way, noticing how well we are conforming to the social norms, but failing to see the deeper beauty that shines out from within and that will continue to shine regardless of how we measure up to society's ideal.

Thus, I have always wondered why does one feel better or able to see the beauty in oneself after a yoga practice or a long church mass. Through these activities, does everyone, gets to release some of their baggage off their shoulders and why is it so?

....

To keep ourselves in touch with our own beauty,
The best way I think, one can do is to, keep looking deeply into our own souls and opening our eyes to the human being we see in the mirror every morning and SMILE gleefully.
