Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt disgusted by your looks? Or do you wish you looked like someone else? This article is for you.

Year by year, the world organizes several beauty contests. They pick winners after measuring and judging physical beauty by their own criteria. Also, people from drivers background have different methods of calculating beauty. To some, skinny people are the beautiful ones. To others, they prefer chubby ones. It a matter of choice.

When they start organizing "beautiful soul contests", the world will become a better place for all.

Who told you that you are ugly?

perhaps, you’ve been hearing people describe how a beautiful person should look,  and you feel their description doesn’t fit you. Or someone told you, you are ugly. Now those voices you were hearing formed a cruel voice in your head that never ceases to tell you how ugly you look. This voice is driving you crazy to the extent you want to use your life savings for plastic surgery and other beauty enhancing products. I have one question for you, and please answer it with all sincerity.

Who ever saw the master plan of what a perfect human should look like? 

Of course, no one did. People are magnifying the imaginations of their hearts with all those descriptions of what a beautiful person should look like. it could be someone who had the looks that fit those descriptions started it all.

Physical looks should not trouble you too much. What you should worry about is building a beautiful soul by being an epitome of love, kindness and mercy. These are the things that matter.

When you learn how to free yourself from other people’s opinion and unfair judgments, you’ll start experiencing inner peace and happiness.

Leaving a room for constructive criticism is still important. 

I want to tell you these things today.

Walk with your shoulders held high because you are the best version of you. No any other person in the world can be a better you. 

You are unique.

You are special. 

You are beautiful.

Do not wait for anyone to tell you that you are beautiful before you believe you are. Be your own judge. Look at yourself in the mirror every day and tell yourself how beautiful you look.
Appreciate who you are.  It builds self-confidence. 

This is not an excuse for you not to work towards improving your physical and mental health through a regular workout and balanced diet. 

Quit thinking that you are ugly because you are not. Don’t allow anybody talk down on your looks. So many people are going through life feeling depressed because the world tagged them as ugly.  Free yourself from that gruesome shackles. 

Happiness, dreams and visions got murdered because people called other people ugly. The damages of feeling ugly are greater than what most people can comprehend.

Self-confidence and self-love are the virtues nobody can take away from me. 

It doesn’t  mean that I’m selfish 

I am a Black African. 

I am very proud of who I am.

In my world, I am very beautiful.

Regardless of how  people view or judge me, it is only a misconception from their perspective. I view and judge things from my own perspective.

What makes their judgement better than mine? 

Make the world better by helping people feel special and beautiful.
