The outer beauty that found its way home to inner beauty

At the end of our lives it is our only mission to become the best version of our self. The inner journey of self healing has to start somewhere because typically we don't just wake up and say, "Everything is peachy and I am beautiful inside and out." There are many journeys that we have to take to become our best self but once we set off to heal and evolve, our inner beauty will be found.

The inner beauty we are blessed with has to be found in glimpses and it can usually be seen on the difficult roads we travel down. On these dark paths of life its hard to see the journey ahead and it might be covered with; dust, mud, snow or fog. Or sometimes the journey is filled with thick bush, heavy rain or blizzard making and path difficult to see with no clearing or exit in sight.

But the rain will settle, the fog will lift and the leaves will fall, what happens then? What happens when the journey becomes visible again? When it was hidden, what kept you from progressing forward? Will you see clearer? or is the horizon still just a sight line? When the leaves have fallen, will the sun beams glimmer through the trees and shine light on the road ahead?

What path do we take when we can see everything clearly and right in front of our very eyes? When the dust settles or when the fog lifts does this create a new journey? When the snow melts and the condensation becomes ice, do we put our spikes on and keep trucking? How do we become our best selves and not give up when we have to trek so hard through difficult terrain, dark passageways or bumpy roads? What inspires us to keep walking forward, when one might always be taking two steps back.

How do you keep driving towards the end destination with motivation if you are on cruise control

On my own journey, the outer beauty found on the journey kept me thriving to find the end destination regardless the road taken.

The hills, valleys and mountains. The rivers, lakes and oceans. The sunrises and the sunsets. The fog that covers the ground we walk but gives you smudged peaks of the beauty found ahead. Sometimes the beauty found in the darkest moments like a harvest moon or the brightness of the millions of the stars will take your breath away but it will also give you light to find your way in darkness.

In the moments of heavy fog, white outs and trentual down pours it simple gives us a different perspective on how to navigate life and keep pushing through the storm. In the difficult weather it will give use the determination to keep driving to the next destination where the beauty of the landscape will be seen. Hidden in the overwhelm of the storm is the lesson of faith that this too shall pass. A storm will always pass but we are meant to stand in the middle of it on our journey to find the clearing. The clearing is always the best part because you never know what you are going to find on the other side of that opening. But usually faith is always found in the uncertainty. The faith that the uncertainty will lead you home to your inner beauty and your authentic self. The storms of life can lead you to find beauty in the outside world. The beauty of the journey each day will lead us to travel inwards. After all life lessons around found in the world that surrounds us but these lessons are blessings meant to make you stronger, teach you or lead you to your kingdom.

Outer beauty will never be found in clothing, hair, make-up or any material items, they show us nothing about our self. Beauty is found in the world we surround ourself in. Our inner world evolves when we embrace all the intangible of the outer world. We can find inner beauty from the triumphs of the outer world. They are two worlds meant to coexist with each other. The world is a canvas and each piece art shown along our tour can gives us faith, perspective, experiences, courage, clarity, mindfulness, joy, truth and love. All the intangible things we want to feel and find are within our soul inspired by the outside canvases.

Any climate can be a metaphor for life. A blizzard outside can stir up wild emotions, while a light dusting of snow can make us feel magical like an old silk hat. A heavy rain storm can trigger gloom in us, while a warm summer rain can generate playfulness. A thunderstorm can make us feel powerful, while a heat storm might make us feel lethargic.

Any surrounding is a connection to our heart and soul. A sunrise will make us smile in joy, while a sunset can bring tears of joy. A waterfall can make us calm, while an ocean can allow us to see true depth. A hill can give us peaks of life, while a mountain can ground us. Sand will exfoliate, while water purifies. Gray clouds cast shadow, while broken clouds cast light. Dark days bring doubt, while sunshine brings happiness

Whatever road one is on, there will always be out a landscape and weather surrounding it. The message might be hidden in heavy weather but the beautiful world will alway reappear in a different light once the weather passes. The faith is knowing in each moment on your journey something can always be observed on the outside to trigger the inside. These are beautiful blessings of the outside world driving you home, to yourself where the true beauty resides within ones kingdom.
