Intrinsic... "it ain't ALL good | but it ain't ALL bad either"

  

Cheerleader for damage control... Yes, ma'am... you better believe it ; )

It's surprising how some of us can go through life not hating ourselves but not really loving ourselves either. IF/when we allow some *real self-introspect* what we discover will not be all good but it won't be all bad either. In my humble opinion, one of the first steps to self improvement is realizing the areas, in our life, that are in disrepair AND then sincerely work toward improving those areas for no better reason than SELF.

The Trick: WE may have people in our lives who we should naturally look to for encouragement [approval & support] and direction [guidance & instruction]... but instead... we're greeted with fault-finders and criticizers - or - WE may have come out of a relationship that did not have a 'happy ending' and we are left alone damaged and hurt.
... There are a multitude of people and/or life situations and disappointments that may instill seeds of uncertainty and self doubt!

*SO for some THIS may serve as a reminder... for others THIS may be a medium of enlightenment*
  ... Dear heart, yooooooour intrinsic beauty is not found in someone else's opinion(s) of you | of who they think your are | or of whom they think you will become!... Nor will it be found in the negative devices of another individual... your | our | beauty is found internally AND just as a door, when opened, swings outwardly SO should our beauty. Love it | Live it | BE it! xo Poodle
