GOD DEFINES BEAUTY

Beauty is not defined by what the media portrays it to be.  I am a guy speaking from personal experience addressing how this problem in our society has affected men and women all around the world.  I wish that this problem could just dissolve if we as humans could all just simply ignore the media.  I fortunately have, however many people close to my heart have not.  I see just how much this form of advertisement has mentally hurt others to the point where it makes people sick.  I'm here to say that beauty is not defined by you or me and it is certainly not defined by the main stream media.  Upmost Beauty is defined by God alone.  He is our creator and we are made in his image, therefore we are all beautiful in his eyes.  It doesn't matter whether you are big or small, skinny or fat, ugly or gorgeous, but what does matter is that you are a child of God. To shed more light on this issue take the ugliest woman in the world for example,

                               

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL

Some people might look at her and think yeah...she really is the ugliest woman in the world.  I'm here to say GOD MADE HER! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL.  She is not only just beautiful on the outside, but she is also on the inside.  I think her most beautiful quality is her confidence to be a public speaker.
We forget sometimes what the word beautiful actually means.  Beautiful - having beauty; possessing qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc.; delighting the senses or mind. Beauty is NOT just something that you see.  It is anything that gives you great pleasure.  I love how people "carry" themselves.  Beauty is more about character qualities more than anything.  To be courageous, loving, caring, nice, smart, talented, excited, happy, friendly are all qualities that define beauty.  So stop living up to the way media defines beauty.  I challenge you to take off the makeup and stop worrying about your body.  This is not to say that I myself have not dealt with this though.  The one thing I worry about most is my hair...yeah guys can be vain too.  WE ALL NEED TO REMEMBER GOD MADE US.  So let's show off our faith in him and start redefining what beauty truly is. I agree that there is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to reshape your body and get fit or muscular, there is no shame in trying to be healthy.  If we had that same outlook on our mental health we might be able to overcome the media.  So WORKOUT YOUR BRAIN like you WORKOUT YOUR BODY.  Have no fear about what others think or may say, it will never change the fact that each and everyone one of us are BEAUTIFUL because GOD MADE US.

If this is the next step in the journey, then we need to spread the message.  We as artists animators and film makers need to start spreading the word.  Let's tell everyone and end self-esteem issues.  I believe that both animators and film producers can do this in both extremely direct ways as well as in metaphoric ways, however the issue must be addressed. I don't want my kids to grow up in a society where there are going to be constantly upset over the way they look because someone else told them they don't look the right way.  I want them to realize that beauty is within you and not what you look like.
