Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of them all? When the witch looked into the mirror, it was a metaphor for what we all do. We look into the mirror to see if we are beautiful. We look in the mirror to see if we are the most beautiful in all of the land, and the mirror reports back to us that either we are, or someone else is. Read more about how being vulnerable helps you to find your real authentic beauty, inside and outside.
Your Most Beautiful You. Don’t look in the mirror to see if you’re beautiful. This is not actually seeing Authentic Beauty.

You can’t ever see your Authentic Beauty in the mirror. Because in the mirror all you see is whatever you’re thinking about yourself. You see it there. Usually you just hear it in your head, but when you look in the mirror you hear what’s in your head and it becomes directed towards you.
You don’t know how beautiful you are.
You don’t know what you look like when you’re eating your favorite dessert. You don’t know what you look like when you’re excited like a child! You don’t know what you look like when someone’s broken your heart. You don’t know what you look like when you’re having trouble making something work and you feel like you’re a mess.
All of these times you look so beautiful.
Showing Your Vulnerability Makes You the Most Beautiful Person
Many people struggle with this concept. Many don’t know what it means to be vulnerable. Many were taught that vulnerability was a sign of weakness.

Imagine your best friend when she cries. Imagine when she’s having a really hard day, and she breaks down.
Do you see that as a sign of weakness? No. (Perhaps if she did it all day everyday day in and day out you might think it was weakness).
But for any of our friends who go through their days doing the best that they can, when they break down and have a hard one, we rally around them and support them.
Do you know why?
When Our Friends Break Down, We Rise Up
We do it because we love them. When they break down, we get to see that they need our support. We get to see that they are human. And that is beautiful.
Being able to support someone is one of life’s biggest gifts.
Now imagine someone who never cries. Imagine someone so perfect, so controlled, they have everything together.
Do you trust that person? Do you think that they might be manipulating their environment to make sure they can get what they need?
When We Shut Down, We Make Us Invisible
Something intuitively happens inside of us when others aren’t feeling their feelings. We relate to each other through emotions. When we don’t express our emotions, or when we shut them down, we deprive others the opportunity to truly get to love and see us.
So truly, the most beautiful thing you will ever see is another person's authentic self. Click To Tweet

Beautiful is when someone is totally self expressed and in feeling. It doesn’t matter if the feeling is happy or sad.
Being Vulnerable Means You Are Seen
Beauty is not makeup or an outfit. It is not a hairstyle or a purse.
It is how you carry yourself from the inside out, and whether or not you are willing to be seen for your true self. That is the most beautiful you that you can be.
