The Most Beautiful People

The most beautiful people we may ever know
are those who have known defeat,
known suffering,
known struggle,
known loss,
and have found their way out of the depths.

These people have an appreciation,
a sensitivity,
and an understanding of life
that fills them with compassion,
gentleness,
and a deep loving concern.

Beautiful people do not just happen.

There is beauty to be found in everyone’s story and within everyone’s story is a battle already won.
Remember this when we meet. For, we have more in common than you might think.
It doesn’t matter your age, your race, your religion, your life style…
Battles do not discrimination.
Tears do not discriminate.
Scars do not discriminate. 
Find the beauty within.
