Natures most beautiful landscapes are likely to reflect the beautiful elements that live inside of you.

Things that reach our deepest interests, typically do so through showing us how beautiful the deepest parts of us are.

Many times we experience overwhelming emotional moments, we do not take the time understand why they have that effect. We simply accept newfound beauty for what it offers, and we take in the things that require no thought to generate those feelings. This is a natural human reaction that effects each of us differently. That being said, why is it that we are able to easily appreciate beauty outside of ourselves, while having such a hard time seeing the beauty inside of us that is waiting to be discovered?

I remember a time when I was so proud of my outlook and approach on everything I faced. I was able to tackle obstacles with total confidence. I would not accept anything less from myself. Things that provided me so much strength, also brought an ugly and saddened side of me when i lost the ability to do so. I thought I had lost myself entirely and I did not feel I was worth looking in to anymore. I had this feeling through several moments until I realized that the same things that I found beauty within outside of myself, were begging me to dust off the things that had been there the entire time.

I challenged myself to take every opportunity when I felt moved, to ask myself why I used to be able to feel the same about the things I had to offer. It was life altering in incredible ways and I challenge you to take the time to truly understand what effects you in ways that help you realize who you are and what beauties you have to offer.

What will you do today to take a moment to stop when you feel moved by something, and figure why those those things effect you so deeply? What will you do to utilize the answers in finding yourself again and being proud of the things you discover?
