Audrey Hepburn

One of my favorite actresses was Audrey Hepburn. I think everyone can appreciate her classic style & beauty. She has this quote that I love. I think that one of the best ways to boost your own self esteem is to help boost someone else's & this is what she says about finding beauty within yourself:

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness...
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people...
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry...
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day...
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone...People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others."

This is so true. I find that when I truly forget myself & serve others, not only do I feel better about myself, but I am helping others feel better about themselves as well. May we all learn to live this "motto".
