beautiful!

i just watched this video...and part 3 as well.
i thought i would share it.
it is something i struggle with.
sometimes i feel powerful, others i feel weak.
sometimes it is a real fight.
i'd rather be good than  look good.
sometimes i know i am beautiful.... sometimes my reflection doesn't reflect the real me.... and it pains me, even if it just for a minute. it pains me.
i think of my divine nature.
i think of my gifts and destiny... and it is powerful.
i hope you all know that we are more...much more than what the world tells us.
remember this :

I wonder if you sisters fully understand the greatness of your gifts and talents and how all of you can achieve the “highest place of honor” in the Church and in the world. One of your unique, precious, and sublime gifts is your femininity, with its natural grace, goodness, and divinity. Femininity is not just lipstick, stylish hairdos, and trendy clothes. It is the divine adornment of humanity. It finds expression in your qualities of your capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength. It is manifest differently in each girl or woman, but each of you possesses it. Femininity is part of your inner beauty.
--President James E. Faust
