You are Beautiful!
In Character
Strive to clothe yourself with the beauty that comes from within. There is nothing more valuable and irreplaceable than a beautiful character. No external adornment can improve that.
In Appearance
LESS IS MORE: When wearing makeup, strive for as natural a look as possible. Seek to enhance your GOD given features not to change them. Your makeup colors should be suited for your complexion and skin tone. A rule of thumb: Apply make up so that it's your face that's noticed and not the makeup.
You Are Blessed!
When life gets difficult remember, "You are precious in GOD's sight. He who looks with interest upon the little brown sparrow looks in love and pity upon you, His tried, afflicted child."
When you feel like you have nothing to contribute remember, "You are precious in the sight of God. He wants you to cherish the grace of humility and thankfulness of heart. Improve every opportunity of gaining an education, that you may impart what you learn to others. There are many who need your help."
When doubt assails you and your problems looks insurmountable, "Lift your eyes to Him. When doubt would sweep over your soul, continue to look to Jesus, casting your helpless soul on Him. He ever lives to make intercession for you. You are precious in His sight."
When your emotions are topsy-turvy and you are uncertain, remember that "You are precious to the heart of Christ and He speaks, saying unto you, 'Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28). There is no perhaps or maybe about this promise. The 'I will' of Christ is an assurance that cannot be made any stronger." He will give you rest!
Seek to develop a beautiful mind.
"Success in life is much more based on E.Q. (Emotional Intelligence Quotient) than I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient). Out of control emotions can make even the most intelligent individuals behave in a manner that simply is not smart"
While a high I.Q. can get you through your academic career successfully, a high E.Q. will get through life successfully and enjoyably.
People with high E.Q. tend to be trustworthy, honest, conscientious, dependable, flexible, responsible, innovative, and adaptable. They can take constructive criticism, and they are open to new ideas, approaches, and information, while being aware of their limitations.
On the other hand, people with high I.Q. do not necessarily have the skills to make a success of their lives. If their emotions are not handled properly, it will cripple their progress in life despite their high intellect. Yet, there are people who are doubly blessed with a high I.Q. and an equally high E.Q.
Of the two, E.Q. propels you through life much better.
Here are the components of emotional intelligence:
1. knowing your emotions
2. managing your emotions
3. recognizing emotions in others
4. managing relationships
5. motivating others to achieve.
"There are three things that are extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self"--Benjamin Franklin
So, what's your emotional intelligent quotient? Are you handling your emotions correctly?
