QUOTES FROM DIFFERENT VIEWS OF SOURCES.

Seriously, I am planning so much about this blog and I am grateful for it because I have my inspiration in my life. Everybody needs someone to be inspire of when you do something you wouldn't know that you can do it. Like for example, I am trying to do things that I wanna do; it doesn't mean that I don't like to make this perfect, but, in my mind, thinking of someone you love, doing things you don't like, isn't that obvious that, that person inspires you? Let's face it. Everyone knows how important a love ones in our life to be. How important his/her role to be our inspiration. You'll notice that you don't want to have any errors when you're doing things that you do.

Surprisingly, I have no interest in creating articles before. But just because my husband inspired me of something that made me creative and we are struggling now for about a few months away with each other, long distance relationship (you know), how hard it is. While I am waiting for my baby to come out, I spent my time doing these stuffs and it made me crazy! It wasn't like this at first, but when you try to love your work? I'm sure you can make it through all the way to the top...
So for the readers, I am writing all of these blogs for you, NOT to impress, but to express how it feels to enjoy life and try to explore your talents and what's really inside of you.

My advice? SHOW IT! EXPRESS IT! FEEL IT! That's when you know how these quotes and abouts help you.

God Bless You Everyone!

QUOTES ABOUT BEAUTY

2012-06-16T05:43:00.003-07:00

Beauty is what you find pleasing in another person, and what other persons find pleasing with you. We tend to find beauty in the things that we are familiar with and the things that are different without provoking negative feelings. As humans we are pattern seeking and we like symmetry over dis-symmetry. A more symmetric face is more likely to be considered beautiful than an asymmetric face. If we regularly show good personal traits, we are more likely to be told that we have inner beauty than if we don’t.

..........

I can only note that past is beautiful because one never realize an emotional at the time. It expands later and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.

Beauty surrounds us.

~Rumii

..........

Beauty is how you feel inside and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

~Sophia Loren

..........

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness, for lovely eyes; seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, tell a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

~Sam Levenson

People who are just passing time.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

(Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech)
