I feel so ugly. and now being 60yrs old, fat,old n ugly. its just getting worse. i am a good person, i wish i could feel good about myself on the out side, because it makes me very unhappy
Hello Skyhaven,
We ALL have beauty to share, including you. True beauty comes from within. Our bodies are only a shell of who we are. It is our light which illuminates the finest points. If we are staying in the darkness within (especially with negative thoughts about ourselves), how can we expect to illuminate and see our beauty on the outside?
I have seen disfigured people look remarkably beautiful because they glow from within. They have chosen to live fully alive and not hide.
If I'm hearing you correctly on your posts, it sounds like there was some point in your life that you came up with the conclusion, "I am ugly" based on the negative things that happened or the negative words that were said.
What if that's not true? What if your true beauty is hiding in the darkness within because you haven't allowed it to come forward?
What if all you need to do is INVITE your true beauty forward?
What if you took a wild leap of faith and chose to believe you are beautiful and valuable and all those things you've always wished to be?
It's never to late to live fully alive as all of who you REALLY are.
With much warmth,
Tami
