"Your face looks fine, but someone needs to put a bag over your personality."

Yes, this is an add for makeup but I think it supports a very valid message.

Pretty is only half of an equation. There was a quote I read today:
"Your face looks fine, but someone needs to put a bag over your personality."

Please, please be a good person. Not only to others but most importantly [to yourself]. Don't sell yourself short. Don't make decisions that lead to this. If you don't respect who you are then no one else will. Respecting yourself means many things:
Don't say bad things about yourself
Do things that make you happy
Put up nice pictures or quotes (beautiful things to wake up to)
Look in the mirror and say one nice thing about yourself every day

It is also important and so essential for the health and beauty of your soul to be a good person. Some things you can do to maximize this are:
Do nice things for others
Do one good deed a day (or at least try to especially if the opportunity presents itself)
and...
Go out of your way to make someone else's day

Boys might be attracted to your looks but it's going to be your personality that they fall in love with. People might judge you the first time they meet you, but it's after they get to know you, that makes them decide whether you're worth being some one's friend or not. In a society plagued by media it's easy to contend that looks are most important when really, it's the type of person you are that matters most (at least in my eyes).You could be the most beautiful woman in the world and the most cruel simultaneously. A pretty girl isn't that pretty once you discover how ugly her heart is.

I think kindness is something that is very underrated in today's age. Kindness is one of the best gifts you could give to someone, especially someone who hasn't had many favors. Put your pretty into action-be kind-be bold-do something special for someone -THAT makes you beautiful.

There have been times when I've questioned how pretty I was on the inside. Times when I felt quite ugly on the inside. No matter how hurt you are, how alone you feel, or how desperate you perceive yourself to be..NEVER, never lose sight of the person you want to be. Never lose sight of your beauty. Be the most beautiful you always. Bad times will come and go-but that will be something that will always remain.

To all the girls that rely solely on how they look on the outside I hope you realize we all turn forty. We all have looks that fade, and when I have a belly from baring children, wrinkles under my eyes and gray hair from those said children...I want to sit on a porch swing, drink sweet tea, look at my husband and know that he loves me with his entire heart versus sitting at a glass table in some legal office, signing divorce papers, looking at my husband thinking you found someone younger and prettier.

Lasting relationships, friendships, etc. last because people love the person you are. They love what you bring to the table. If you're just a pretty face missing the beautiful heart what's so special you're bringing to the table? Pretty faces are a dime a dozen originality is where it's at. How boring would it be to hang out with someone who was just good looking? Screw that. I want to laugh, I want to drink too much, I want to dance like a fool, and meet strangers. Not sit at a table and look pretty. It's overrated and boring.

Remember, be one OF a million not one IN a million. Don't just be pretty, be beautiful. When you have a kind heart, it shines through. Let your beauty be seen. Beautiful people with amazing souls don't go unnoticed for long. Make a difference no matter how small-----because beauty knows no limits.
