A powerful read that gets to the core of who you are as a woman and the very power of your presence. The definition of beauty has confused young girls and women throughout the ages. So much so that it has led to depression, isolation, eating disorders, anger, and self-image obsessions that have prevented people from living their best life and drove others to the verge of suicide. The problem continues today. Have you ever been made to feel like you weren't good enough? Do you still struggle with those feelings today or with depression? If you were asked to describe yourself, what would you say? The answers to value and self-worth are usually related to the scope of one's past, be it childhood or adulthood, and unfortunately many girls grow up and women continue along life's journey with the most pertinent questions about who they really are unanswered, incorrectly answered or ignored. Consequently, they learn to settle for less than they deserve and never expect anything worthwhile to happen for them, while they teach their own daughters to do the same without having to utter a single word. A dangerous concept, isn't it? So many are scarred emotionally, develop unhealthy habits and unknowingly become their own worst enemy. They feel hopeless that any turn-around is at all possible, using excuses such as: "Nothing good ever happens to me""I'm not attractive or talented enough""I'm too old""I've been settling for too long""I'm just too afraid""I don't want to take any risks". Sounds familiar? I Didn't Know I Was Beautiful will finally, after centuries of girls and women not realizing the power of who they are, break through the myth that you must have the approval of others in order to be secure within yourself; that you must look a certain way or have certain credentials to be worth anything in this world. The walls are finally coming down and the young girl or grown woman perusing these pages will likely be transformed into a most secure, knowingly and noticeably beautiful female that she will soon recognize when the image of herself stares back at her in the mirror - regardless of how old she is; her physically features or how she's been programmed to feel all of these years. Excerpt from: I Didn't Know I Was Beautiful"Growing up, I was never anyone's favorite - not at home, not at school and after I got in a relationship, I often wondered if my partner even liked me anymore or even found me attractive. I was overweight most of my life, then finally lost the excess weight, but I still had that achy feeling inside. I remembered from childhood that I wasn't good enough -- good enough to be truly loved; good enough to want to be around; good enough to land that perfect job or to be successful. I started to push others away because any little thing that happened made me suspicious and uneasy because I was insecure about myself. It was during this time that life hit me like a ton of bricks. A light bulb went off in my head and those plaguing negative thoughts, self-doubts, and fears I had carried around for so many years suddenly seemed to make sense to me. Their reason for constantly being present was profound: I didn't know I was beautiful."This book boldly addresses the questions that have long been avoided and sets the record straight. Discover what True Beauty is and how you can willingly embrace it; no longer feeling imprisoned by what you see in the mirror or by what others think of you. An inspiring read for young girls and women of all ages, cultures and creed, and it has even inspired young boys and men in their own life's journey. It's now time to face reality, overcome the barriers and claim what is rightfully yours. You deserve the best for the simple fact that you are human.
