I have a favorite story.

It's The Ugly Duckling.

There was an unattractive duck.

It was born look different.

It suffered a childhood of teasing.

However,as it grew,the duck changed.

Its inner beauty emerged.

It trained into a lovely swan

I love the message of this story.

It's that we gain beauty as we grow.

We only have to believe in ourselves.

Our appearence is important.

A natural healthy look is wonderful.

But inner beauty is more than good looks.

True beauty comes from the heart.

It comes from our personality,attitude and spirit.

It's how we feel,act and treat others.

Everyone has some beauty.

Everyone has special charm.

We'll all attractive in differant ways.

So don't misjudge what beauty is.

Don't be fooled by what you see.

All that glitters is not gold.

Remember we're all like that duck.

We're slowly becoming swans.

We just have to let that beauty shine.
