Spirit and Soul

You know you've changed for the better when someone you haven't seen in a year during the worst time of your life tells you that you've changed so much since then and that now you are "glowingly beautiful". This was the best compliment I have ever recieved. Not because of the words but because it reflected not who the person saw me as, not my physical apperance, or what that person wants of me but of what I am - my spirit. It enveloped the spiritual change in me and my soul as it stands now. He was saying I see happiness radiating out of you and it's beautiful. Now isn't that what every girl no every person wants to hear? That your happiness radiates from you. People tend to put so much emphasis on how they look, what others think, what they wear, what they do. They don't focus on the important spiritual aspects, the life altering, soul feeding, everlasting spring of choice. Instead of changing themselves they try to change others. Find happiness in the simple act of living, of growing and watching people around you, experiance the pure joy of others lifes. Focus outward and become a follower not of the accepted and expected but the clean effectivness of selflessness and giving.
