TV Commercials these days are flooded with cosmetics
promising to make you look beautiful, glowing and young as well. Yes these “age
miracles” target not just women but men too. Well, am glad at least
somewhere the gender diversity seems evident. And it’s not just the T.V
commercials but every online site shows countless number of reviews where
people come out confidently saying “How much the product has worked for them”.
With no second thoughts, this gives us assurance, about how effective the
product is. But then I wonder is it enough to FEEL beautiful??
Can a cosmetic product alone make your face glow? Reduce the
stress and wrinkles that comes out on your face after a hectic day, when you
were so busy in your professional and personal life that you forgot to take
care of your own self. They promise to remove the dark circles under your eyes,
but can they remove that sadness and loneliness from your eyes too? Can they
remove those sleepless nights that you had spent working which caused those
dark circles?
Don’t you
feel that the true happiness and peace within are the key aspects to make your
face glow and eyes sparkle? Don’t you glow the most on days-
that
enlightens you from within,
that make
you feel proud of your own achievements,
that give
you relief from your own self-doubts and uncertain future…?
Last evening
while I was getting ready for a friend’s birthday party, I instantly put on the
sharp red lipstick, as the color was matching my favorite dark blue and red
outfit. As I was busy in revolving the flared dress and clicking selfies, the
very next moment my grandmother who is always observant of my make-up,
commented “Don’t apply such dark make-up otherwise your face won’t glow any
different after marriage”.
This made me
question “Is it just a loud lipstick makes newly wedded glow? Or the same
lipstick being applied after marriage has some special effects? “
And I wanted to tell her that “it’s
not the loud lip color and other cosmetics that makes her glow but the
happiness that comes into her life by someone’s mere presence. The peace and
assurance she feels’ in her life when someone promises to stand by her side, no
matter what. What makes her glow is the way she is loved and cared!!”
As beautifully quoted by Alexander
Den Heijer "When a
flower doesn't bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the
flower."
Have you ever observed how
beautiful you feel inside and out when you get the love you want, care you need
and respect you deserve? Don’t your dark circles disappear automatically
after those peaceful sleeps when they tell you “catch you back tomorrow”? Don’t
your eyes sparkle when they say, “take care”? Don’t you feel re-energized even
in the most hectic and stressed days when you think about them, taking away all
your pain and worries? Don’t you feel relieved when they share your load? Can
any number of blushers make you blush the way you do when they understand your
needs even before you express them?
You don’t have to
depend on anything to feel happy. Create your own Happiness and take
good care of your mental, physical and emotional needs, you owe it to
yourself!!
P.S: - Nothing makes you GLOW like getting true HAPPINESS
that shines from within!!
