That quote makes me think. If we are too busy, if we are always in a rush, we will not see any beauty around us . So we have to pause and think about things, otherwise we see the world with our eyes but not with our heart! Thanks for your motivational quote!

"otherwise we see the world with our eyes but not with our heart! "

Good point!

Beautiful quote. The beauty of the world is made of several things, it can be as simple as laughter, a smile, cats playing, sunrise...we must choose to see them everyday and enjoy it. :)

The simple things in life are important as your comment shows!

Really nice quote. I try to look for beauty in things around me, more specifically, nature, family and friends. Sometimes when i'm sitting in the garden, i remember how beautiful life can be and that we should appreciate our time on Earth. :)

That word "appreciation" is an important one!

Beauty begins the moment you choose to see it and i must add embrace it. The world is full of beautiful things but most of the time we are busy with our problems and we don't have time to even look for it. Today i choose to spend some time noticing all the beautiful things around me :)

Yes it's true, most of the time we are too busy.

I noticed that after i started doing meditation i was able to feel and see more beauty around me, and it was something natural that i was not looking for, like birds singing, the plants, the waves at sea or a kind gesture of a good friend. The smile of a loved one is something that fulfills my heart completely :)

You have understood this point well!

Sometimes we are too busy and we don't notice what is around us, the beauty of the world. We should take some minutes everyday just to sit and enjoy every good thing we have in our live :)

"We should take some minutes everyday just to sit and enjoy every good thing we have in our live :)"

So true!

Beauty begins the moment you choose to see it This is completely true. This happens when i choose to see beauty :)

Funny!

Beauty begins the moment you choose to see it.
This is really beautiful quote and i also believe like you that there are limitless examples of where we can see beauty :) Let's look at it and forget about the bad things that happen on our life ;)

It is something that we should out into practice!

Yes. when we are tired or saturated with the many activities in the office. we need to look beautiful beautiful so that our minds are healthy again

"we need to look beautiful beautiful so that our minds are healthy again"

Love it!

I really think we do not see things like that (or at least I do not). I think to say that if we see beautiful things we are lying ourselves, it is true that sometimes we see the beautiful and the good things but not always. But we should always do it, it's like the phrase "The Pursuit of Happyness"

I like your phrase!

The truth is that beauty can be seen from many points of view according to each individual, but in my opinion the real beauty I see daily on my daughter's face her beautiful eyes and her beautiful and big smile, in the splendid dawn of my beautiful island every day, in the joy of my mother to see me when she spends many days without seeing me, in nature and its charms, and among many other things in the people who struggle every day to get ahead and build a better future for their family and their country, for me that is also beauty. Thank you @goodvibrations for your mativational quote.

Yes we need to see the beauty in the simple things of life!

Today's phrase reminded me of a film based on real events called "La vita è bella". Despite the war and the Nazi invasion of Italy, the characters were still happy. They showed their young son, the beauty of life in the face of adversity, that leaves us a great lesson. The greatest beauty can be before our eyes: open them.

Great movie!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful phrase, excellent to start the week; everything is a matter of choice, each one of us decides. It is amazing how the landscape changes when we decided to see it in the best way; This also improves our health. I remember that a teacher told me: "we all have good things and bad things, we should always try to see the best of them". Happy week

Perception is the key to another dimension :)

"This also improves our health."

This is a wonderful "side" benefit!

Thanks for this phrase. Although Venezuela is going through a severe crisis has beauties of natural landscapes. Every day we can appreciate such beauties and that is a gift that we should appreciate. If we appreciate these beauties, we can forget about so many problems.

I admire you for your positive thinking!

Beauty begins in our inner being. When our thoughts and actions resemble God, our creator, (loving our neighbor as ourselves) we realize that he did everything possible so that we can appreciate him (sunrises, sunsets, rivers, animals). We just need to realize that they exist today to appreciate and care for them before our lives leave.

"We just need to realize that they exist today to appreciate and care for them"

Very true!

  • Siempre lo hago, intento buscar la belleza en las cosas, esto me define ante cualquier adversidad.

  • En realidad con respecto a la naturaleza no, pero en momentos de felicidad se puede ver este tipo de sensacion.

  • Puedo decir que la belleza tambien se encuentra en lo interno que tenemos cada uno donde queremos ser lo mas agradable posible y poder ver que los demas vean esa belleza en tu ser.

You are right that we can see beauty in other people's personality, what they are inside!

Happy and blessed start of the week, beauty is an attribute associated with the harmony of the physical and the artistic that inspires admiration and pleasure, depending on how you look at it, depends on the mood of the person looking at it or the ability to see the qualities of something. "Beauty depends on the eye with which one looks" is a saying of my country

Your country has a good saying!

everything is beautiful in the world if we like it we can tell thousands of great things about it but if we don't like we can't even tell one great thing about it that's human nature

Yes, human nature can bring out the worst in us at times. We need to use our minds, determination and self-control to overcome it. Not easy!

Well, this quote forced me to think a bit.
Why differentiate things in this way?
why call something beautiful and something ugly?
God hasn't created anything ugly,
He created everything beautiful, we just need eyes to see it,
It's just our way of judge of things.

You are right!

"Beauty is in the eye of beholder"

Some appreciates sonmones beauty, some are not. Because as you said beauty is limitless

True!

Remind me of the quote Every moment is the guru.

Allow for beauty to arise and live a more joyous life 🙏🏼

Radiating good vibes!

Thanks for your comment. I "should" be more into fitness. Actually I work out every day but I could do much better!

@goodvibrations Sometimes beauty is present in everyday life, and there are wonderful things in front of us that we do not know how to appreciate. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, in his famous play The Little Prince, said a phrase that marked me forever: It only looks good with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes

"It only looks good with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes"

Very nice quote!

I really agree with your words, beauty is nothing but our vision and our thought process towards particular thing or situation that's why everyone likes different beauty and situational aspects. Means if you see an Black flower it can give really beautiful essence but possibly the next person would not like that because he would like pink one. So it's upon us how we are looking towards the things, and we can change our vision, we just have to put our efforts. For example, there were a couple who got married and initially they had an amazing time but after over a period of time their bond started to weaken and bitterness started to take place in their relationship, so in my opinion this is happened because their vision changed towards their relationship and they both became careless towards the initial bonding they had. So our vision is important because if we think it's beautiful then it will reflect beautiful and if we think this is negative then that will reflect negative to us. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

Hello. that was a very good example. Regards ..!

Thank you so much. 🙂

As your the example of the married couple shows we need to work at seeing the beauty!

Yes, i gave the example of marriage because, in my opinion most of the people marry because they think they are in love with each other, but most of the people are attracted towards each others physical appearance means material aspect and they are not connect with spiritual aspect because if we move towards material aspect then we cannot see the spiritual beauty for ever and slowly it leads conflicts in future in an relationship.

This is a challenge because most people tend to notice mostly the negative things than the positive. Indeed it should be the other way around.
Thanks @goodvibrations!

It is a challenge!

GAMES OF MIND
Yes these are just games of mind which either make anything satisfying or dissatisfying for us. Change perceptions, change your world. :)
Have a good day buddy.

"Change perceptions, change your world. :)"

Love it!

Thanks

Yep. I agree 100% with this one. When you really look you can see beauty in almost anything! 😊

So true!

Right said sir,the examples of where we can see beauty are limitless

a beautiful beautiful view will nourish the eyes and mind

Seeing beautiful beautiful will bring happiness to our soul

Seeing, caring and being grateful is a true beauty. our eyes are his witnesses. beautiful quotes👍

I strongly agree with you Thanks for sharing this beautiful Quote keep sharing

Well yes buddy that sure is !

After all like you said When we do indeed choose to see it !

Right...
Everything Depends on Eye
Who has sharper eye, he can find gold on Dustbin
😑😑😑

Great point!

Its within the eye of the beholder ☺️

Thanks for this everyday @goodvibrations

Everything is beautiful and we need to see it from inside things may make first appearance and we may decide about them for that view but we should see the inner beauty :)

That's a lovely quote, sometimes it's easy to feel like you're in a rut but the truth is it's only you that can get yourself out of it!

Beauty is not literally mean a beautiful. There are different kinds of beauty that we can find even in simple things. What my thought here is a photo of stolen shots or a photo of someone in a mountain of trash yet we still find it beautiful. Not only there, if we see all things as beautiful we try to see it in our heart, not through our eyes.
