YourMondayMotivator - Where do you see beauty?

Where do you see beauty? In a child's beaming face, a sunrise, a sunset or in your work. The last one might be surprising but there will be beauty there. How you find that beauty is in the effort you put in and the smile you have after a job well done.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not."

We constantly look outside ourselves for beauty. Traveling miles and days to see amazing artifacts only to see them and say, "Oh it's smaller than I thought."

Beauty they say comes from within and they usually mean someone else. But beauty is within you and you either express it or you don't. Not expressing it makes the world ugly and a hard place to live.

So what it beauty? I think it's curiosity and looking at things like you have just seen them for the first time. Doing this, working out what makes something tick, or even write a word, makes anything beautiful. A whole lot of thought went into making even a pen but because it's now an everyday object it loses it's beauty.

Have a successful week and think about beauty. It is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air."

This quote reminds me of Summer and how lucky I am to live in New Zealand.

What does it remind you of?

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine."

How often do we say depreciating things about ourselves and as Emerson says stand in our own sunshine?

Sometimes get out of the way of the sun and let your full light hit everyone. You are a genius you just have remind people once in a while.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer."

Watching Man on Wire shows you clearly what Emerson was talking about. Listening to someone who is passionate about what they do is awesome. Find something about what you do that inspires you and talk about that, constantly. People will get your enthusiasm and it will make a big difference to your day.

Watch Man on Wire. Have a terrific day.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character."

What is your opinion of the world saying about you right now?

Recession or Opportunity? Your opinion makes a difference.

Have a great afternoon.
