Do beautiful things with your beautiful life.
Yes, your life IS beautiful and you CAN do beautiful things.
But how, I don’t do anything special, you might say. My life is boring, or so you believe. No one notices me so what’s the point? Girl, you gotta stop that stinking thinking and instead let your true shine beam all over the place!
Truthfully, you have value just as you are. You are phenomenally Latina, worthy of recognition and of being heard. You bring something to the table whether it’s a talent, a story, an experience, a lesson. Yes, YOU possess something you can share! Grand gestures are fun, thrilling and get lots of attention, but don’t discount the power of small and quiet acts because these give beautiful authenticity.
You are doing beautiful things by sending your kids off to school with a smile and a hug; connecting with unhoused individuals through eye contact and a nod; leaving a donation in someone’s tip jar. These acts may seem insignificant, too little to make an impact, but this stems from not understanding your value. It’s not about winning 50 million dollars or going viral on TikTok before we can make a positive impact. There’s love and beauty in the simple stuff, things or actions we take for granted. “Stop and smell the roses” is solid advice.
So don’t get hung up on how grand the beautiful has got to be. Just know that the small stuff, done with the intention of making another feel fantastic, is the grandest impact of all.
