Inner Beauty

The power of focusing on your internal world is not talked about enough for women.

Too fat, too thin, too loud, too quiet- I was never going to fit the standards others created for me. Instead of complying, I protested. -Ashley Graham

There are so many types of beauty in this world. My favorite kind and the one I cherish most is inner beauty. It is inner beauty that changes lives for the better and sets the precedent for a world that is more kind, compassionate, and loving. It’s not easy nurturing the inner world when women are constantly told its the outer physical stuff that matters most.

Protesting against messages of standardized physical beauty is important and I am inspired by women who build companies to do that and who own their lives from the inside out. That’s why I say a woman who respects herself and her journey is beautiful. A woman who is confident and knows what she’s about is beautiful. A woman who understands how far she’s come and is gentle with herself is beautiful. A woman who can be herself is beautiful. A woman who works hard and does what’s best for her even if the world turns their back is beautiful.

Additional Thoughts

• How you feel inside will always be more important than what you look like on the outside.
• A woman who genuinely can show up as herself is beautiful.
