STOP IT!

"Let the Beauty we love... Be what we do." What does this mean? The Beauty we love. What we do. Are they the same? Do we wear the things we have always wanted too? Or do we let the world tell us that our bodies aren't right for that particular style? Do we have the characters we admire? Or do we let the world get in the way once again? This picture is a strong testament of this idea. When I first ran across this picture on Pinterest (One of the GREATEST web sites EVER by the way) I was appalled! This woman is Beautiful. I thought that was rather apparent. Yet beneath the picture was a debate lasting for ages... On whether she was beautiful or not, saying that men preferred "a woman they could hold on to", and the 'smaller' women began to be offended saying that even they were persecuted because they were too small. In what kind of messed up world is it okay for women to feel bad if their big, small or average? We can't win. No matter what, there will ALWAYS... let me repeat that: ALWAYS... one more time now: ALWAYS have someone somewhere telling us that we aren't good enough in some way. Whether it be our peers, the media, the devil, or ourselves. HOWEVER. I have come across the perfect solution. The end to our suffering. The antidote to the disease that has hovered over humankind since the day Eve covered herself in leaves... STOP IT! Did you hear me? Let me repeat myself. STOP IT!!!!!! A great man by the name of Dieter F. Uchtdorf said this. And so I repeat it once again... STOP IT! God made you the way you are. STOP comparing yourself to others. STOP putting yourself down. STOP listening to others' opinions. STOP dreaming of a far off someday when you will love your body. "BE HAPPY NOW"... (also an Uchtdorf quote:) STOP IT! Let the Beauty we love be what we do. Let yourself be happy. Let yourself be beautiful. Don't deny your own Beauty. You have a unique and incredible look all your own. How dare you not believe that? God made you in his image. You are his child. HIS! He loves you, and so do I. And he commanded you to "love your neighbor AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF"! That means you HAVE to love yourself too! So, Stop it, And start loving your Beauty!
