We Are Beautiful

Like That Diamond

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 7 months ago 1 min read
Shiny and Beautiful --- just like you and me!

“A diamond

is a chunk of coal

that did well under pressure.”

Diamonds are beautiful!

But it took them time to become beautiful

and this is something

we need to remember

when thinking about ourselves.

Transformation,

of any kind,

does not happen quickly or over night.

A butterfly

can take two weeks in its chrysalis

before it comes out

into the beautiful coloured butterfly

we see in our gardens every day.

Diamonds

are known for their durability and strength,

as well as

their brilliance and rarity.

A diamond

is formed deep within the Earth’s mantle,

where extreme heat and pressure

crystallize it into a specific shape.

We really are no different.

We go through difficult challenges

in our lives

and

become extremely strong.

We also become beautiful!

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
