Beautiful life

The beauty you see around you is already inside
you. If it were not, then it would not appear
as beauty. As you delight in a magnificent
vista, or an elegantly created work of art,
remember that the beauty you admire is always
yours. Its power is within you regardless of
possession or physical presence.

In this sense, the beauty in the world is
mainly a reminder of the incredible beauty that
is your life. It is great to have those
reminders which renew and fulfill your sense of
beauty and appreciation for it. Yet the essence
of beauty is not in the objects which you call
beautiful, it is in the wonder and magnificence
of life itself.

The power of beauty is a living power, and it
is yours to apply. The beauty you sense around
you is merely a hint of the abundance of beauty
that is your life. Yes, there are challenges.
Yes, there are tragedies. Yes, there is pain.
Still, through it all, every moment of every
day, you have the beauty and richness that is
your life. Feel the awesome power of that, and
live it.
