After a Women’s meeting I attended recently, I was forced to ask myself a very serious question: Why is it so difficult for Women to appreciate the beauty in each other?
Most of us girls know that if a guy says you look great, no big deal, all well and good, but if another girl goes “Wow! You look AMAZING!!” chin up girl cos it’s got to be true!!
I think one of the reasons why it’s so difficult for us is because we immediately feel self-conscious in the presence of another beautiful woman. So a lot of girls would immediately look for some way to put the other girl down. “Her head's too big”, “Her make-up looks tacky”, “I’m sure her bag is fake”, “See her flabs....she's soo fat!!"
We always find something, anything to pull the person down just so we can feel better about ourselves. Why do we fear so much if another girl is better than us? If we are giving the best of ourselves every day, it wouldn’t matter to us because we already feel great about ourselves.
Beauty as we all probably know, is beyond the superficial. It is that inherent quality in a woman, or any other of God’s creatures, that is pleasing to the senses or spirit of an observer.
I think my friend, Seun Opaleye, is beautiful. Her gentleness, pureness of heart, and smile make her one of the most beautiful women I know.

There is not enough space to mention the attributes of every beautiful woman I know or have ever come across.
But we can start this girls!! From now, this very moment, look at another woman, your friend, a stranger, someone you haven’t spoken to in years, and see her beauty. Tell her she is beautiful.
I assure you that the easiest way to feel great about oneself, is simply by making another person feel good about themselves.

sorry but your posts are becoming very boring. If u dont have anything interesting thing to say, wait until u can come up with one. When ppl read rubbish a few times they'll stop reading your blog. It;ll be better if the few times u post i look forward to the next.
ReplyDeletethanksbye
Oh well...thanks for the heads-up!! I'll definitely take that into consideration.
ReplyDeleteI was about to castigate the rather harsh critic but on second thots criticism like this only help us do better, I like this particular post but a few of the subsequent ones didn't have enuff depth to captivate d reader, the idea I'm sure is to get as many pple on this blog and probably turn it into a money spinner down the road, u have started really well and I wish u the best coz I'm beginning to like ur blog, best of luck!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous i think ur a "SHE" and ur actually a typical example of the topic here...stop beefing Tariere cz she's finer dan u..and by d way...Anonymous, who's sayz ur even fine???? Big Ups Tariere..Nuhn does U..lol
ReplyDeleteCriticism is welcome but should be done with love. The other way however is beef.
ReplyDeleteSwaggalicious: No worry, Tariere! Nutin do you!
ReplyDeleteTari, I like very much that u did not delete that comment....@ anonymous, I agree with Tunji that you do come off as a classic example of Tari's subject here, there is no need for any of the hostility, good criticism should always be constructive and make the person being criticised want to do better, however ur comment is nothing short of spiteful and cowardly, but you already know this, which is the exact reason why u wrote it anonymously. If Tari's posts are boring u, no complex issue there, simply do not come back to her blog, I'm sure u'l have no problem finding something else to feed ur insecurity, obviously there's something about Tari's blog that has kept you coming back and you seem to be quite resentful of that, my advice to you is to figure out what it is that is making u insecure and face it, its the only way u will overcome it.......Tari, lovely post
ReplyDeleteYour positive outlook on life is inspiring to me and is what makes u beautiful to me, my dear friend.
Also, ur ability to let nothing hold keep u down and see every disappointment as a blessing, makes u beautiful 2 me...
ReplyDeletetis is my best post so far gurl keep it up...luv Bee
