Am I Pretty?
Several years back I watched a video called PRETTY. Many of the statements Katie Makkai made in the video have stuck with me.
If you haven't watched it yet please take 3 mins and watch this poetry slam
It was the moment when she said the word pretty should never be used on it's own that has always been my memory of this video.
You should not just be PRETTY
instead you should be
- PRETTY INTELLIGENT
- PRETTY CREATIVE
- PRETTY AMAZING
I think this is why I resonate with the Dove Realy Beauty/Self Esteem Campaigns.
Through the years there have been some very powerful Dove videos. This is the one from Dove Canada always stands out for me.....
..... until I saw this one today
How Do You Find The Inner And Outer Beauty?
The latest Dove video goes to show that many do not know that beautiful they are in the eyes of others.We often talk about focusing on our inner beauty, yet so many don't realize that their inner beauty does show outwardly. I truly believe that our inner beauty can be seen outwardly as well.
I do my best to surround my self with positive people. The ones that are cheery and helpful. Those are the people I think are PRETTY AMAZING! You can tell who they are. They are the ones that always are smiling and have kind words to share. They are taking their inner beauty and showing it outwardly. That is the outer beauty that I am speaking of.
