Today was a blast in the studio as we talked about some dear and meaningful issues. There was a guest on before the show that spoke of a seminar happening July 18th called “In Her Beauty.” It is an outreach to women who usually do not get the opportunity to feel beautiful. So they are asking for stylists, massage therapists, etc. to come pamper these underprivileged women. While at the same time, focusing on the inner beauty of each woman. It is a cool concept for teenage moms, displaced workers, and homeless women living on the streets. I love the idea and totally think the idea is fabulous.
Being that beauty is something that has been so distorted in our society, I wanted to continue the conversation. Beauty has been minimized to physical features and attributes and yet those who have that gift are not even satisifed and end up striving to fix their flaws. It seems every woman including myself looks in the mirror and finds all the flaws instead of the unique beauty in each one of us.. Our feminine beauty has been replaced with rights, busyness, and exhaustion to be all things to all people. Toward the end of segment one, I proposed the question – what would you rather be known as “Captivating or busy?” How would you answer that question?
When you have a sense of your own worth, value, and purpose, the striving ceases and the true beauty within can shine through. Yet, we sacrifice the pleasure and enjoyment of being a person of dignity and beauty for our “to-do” list and task orientation. It is about your being not your doing.
One listener called in with an outstanding question and I look forward to your questions and comments below. It is my desire each person truly know their valuable worth and designed purpose today! If not now, when?
Your Coach,
Shandel
