In today society it is so very hard to not get caught up in the superficial mindset that is taught to us everywhere. We are what we wear. Our value is based on what we look like. These view are thrown at us constantly where ever we go. Now it’s not bad to want to look good and want to be pretty and actually we should take care of ourselves. But I find very often that I get caught up in enhancing my out ward appearance rather than my inward appearance. Before I can truly beautiful I must first learn that beauty is not what I look like, what I wear or how I do my hair but how I conduct myself. Are my attitudes and actions beautiful? My first priority needs to be improving my inward appearance. I need to make sure I have a beautiful personality. I Love this Quote by Elizabeth Elliot it says,
"The preoccupations of young woman (their looks, their clothes, their social life) don’t seem to change much from generation to generation. But in every generation there are a few woman who make other choices."
We have one life, one chance, to live our life. Our Life was not given to the world or to our peers but to us. Every person is unique and special. Every person gives something to our world. Each of us holds the potential to achieve remarkable thing. The woman who are known in our history books are not known because they lived like every other girl in there time. No, they are known and remembered because they did or become something original. Because the rebelled against the norm and fought for something bigger. They dug deep within themselves and found the strength to fight against the lies and limitation of society. But how can I expect to make an impact with my life if I continually choose to think and act like the superficial society around me. I need to give up my preconceived ideas of what my life should be and focus on enriching my life and enhancing my personality. My first step is to get my priorities straight so that my time is being focused on the important matters the matters that will not fleet away.
Hi Rebecca! Thank you so much for commenting on my blog - I really love getting comments! I didn't know you had a blog! I will definitely be checking back again soon. :) I'm also thinking I'll copy down a few of the titles that are in your 'favorite books' list. I really like the few that I have read on your list, so I'm thinking I will like the others as well. :)
