In search of happiness; In search of beauty!

I chose this subject for one has nothing to do with the other! There is no proven fact that if you’re beautiful, by default you’re happy! History alone shows us by many examples that are not the case. Actually for biblical people this is the fact right from creation!

So one has to ask why people spend their lives looking for beauty to be happy. Well the following after 50 + years on earth is my view on this subject!

I can point the finger right where it belongs, but I am going to make a general statement that everyone has a role in making people feel beautiful and thereby happy. It's not that you’re happy if you’re beautiful, it's that you’re beautiful if you’re happy! Primarily PARENTS have this responsibility to make their children feel happy! Society (media), Teachers and friends all play a pivotal role. However if your home your parents aren't telling you that your a beautiful person, changes are you won’t grow up ever being happy. Of course there are exceptions but overall this statement is accurate.

Happiness comes from within not from without. The gyms are full of unhappy people trying to get their bodies just right to feel a moment of happiness sometimes through pleasure. There are billions if not trillions spend to make people feel and look beautiful. However suicides are at an all time high in our generation so it's obvious that these don’t work.

Some people escape through drugs or sometimes any other means to feel so called "happiness" without being successful! There are books and shows that attack this issue to no avail.

The bottom line is very simple! If you’re a parent tell your children today and everyday they are beautiful! The creator does not make ugly people "we humans do"! If you’re a friend highlight the beauty in your friends, Looks, actions etc. If you’re a teacher, teach that everyone is beautiful in their own special way! If your a father tell your daughter and if your mother tell your son!

To this day my mother squeezes my checks and tells me how handsome I am. I see the glow in her eyes and how proud she is of us three kids now adults. I pick on my mother for being the middle child and somehow left behind. This is just a life long play with my mother. What she does not realize is that all my life with all my major issues I always felt beautiful! She made sure from birth I had that nurtured in me and so to my mother and all mothers and fathers I dedicate this! Please today tell your children they are beautiful, hug them and look them in the eye so that they don’t spend their entire life in search of happiness because it already exists!

To my mother!
