Recently, I read an article about botox injections, the various silicone implants and the cosmetic surgeries that have created a revolution in the fashion, film and glamour industry. Many models, supermodels, actors and actresses are running to get these surgeries done that they believe, will accentuate their beauty. This got me thinking what beauty is for them. Beauty is more about external validation rather than having actual beauty.

We are living in an age that is ruled by what others think of us. In a world driven by achievement, appearance and constant comparison, it's easy to believe that happiness comes from what we gain or how others perceive us. We're taught to seek approval, to measure our worth by the likes, praises, promotions and relationships that we have. This pursuit of external validation becomes a vicious cycle that may be temporarily satisfying but ultimately, it is extremely unfulfilling, leading to anxiety, stress, unhappiness and depression.

True, lasting joy, however, doesn't come from the outside. It begins when we turn inward and awaken to our own Truth.
