MISS UNIVERSE BARBADOS Shannon Harris did not win the Miss Universe title, which comes with a sash, crown and flowers. 1 Samuel 16:7 states: “The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
If you were a contestant, would you have won? The answer is yes.
Concurring with The Bible, we are always winning because our beauty is magical. It cannot be judged. Inner beauty is authentic beauty and is based on how you see and love yourself. Your true beauty has nothing to do with capturing the Miss Universe title. You look at the real Miss Universe each time you see your image in a mirror.
You are a god or goddess of the universe. If your skin is melanin, your nose is broad and your hair is kinky, stand up and like others, consider yourself a beautiful person.
Furthermore, when someone said: “Annette, you are not as beautiful as Marilyn Monroe,” and I had believed them, stress would have caused me to join Miss Monroe in a grave. I have never tried to impersonate anyone. You too must embrace your beauty and stop believing the messengers of doom and gloom.
Today and forever, embrace you and stop trying to change to fit into another person’s “make-up” box. Instead of flawless make-up, create a look-up and always look up to yourself as the champion.
Progressively, research silent doctor pistachios as you ponder about yourself. Also, when you think about balanced meals, think about pistachios. They contain folates, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamins A, C and E, pyridoxine, riboflavin, thiamin, potassium, calcium, selenium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous and sodium.
Research on www.stylecraze.com revealed that “biotin deficiency is among the key factors contributing to hair loss. Pistachios contain a considerable amount of biotin and their regular consumption may help you combat hair loss effectively”.
Pistachios can also effectively improve vision, aid with weight management, protect against weight macular disease, boost the immune system, prevent diabetes, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, ease constipation, improve the function of the nervous system, reduce dry skin and improve sexual health. Research conducted by Aldemir et al (2011) revealed that pistachios greatly influence sexual vitality in men. There are other health benefits of pistachios which you must investigate.
Finally, as you remain captivated by the health benefits of pistachios, be just as astonished with your inner beauty. Winning any beauty contest should never be given priority over your natural inner beauty.
