Today is the final day of our five days of beauty. In our last several posts, we have covered the definition of beauty, how our cultural influencers have helped to shape our understanding of beauty, the fact that each of us possesses beauty, and what I personally find beautiful.
Now is the time for my charge to you to make beautiful things. We want to know where you find beauty. It could be in a dance, in music, in sculpting, in poetry, in a well laid out spreadsheet, in clothing design, in capturing a photo of a person or landscape, in a clean home, in a simple or complex food dish, in something small or big, in something new or old.
Whatever it is, do it. Bring more beauty into your life and the lives of those around you by doing something that celebrates beauty and might broaden someone’s understanding of beauty.
And please don’t let your fear of imperfection or lack of motivation stop you. Find something that motivates you and do it. Do you think Picasso, Nat King Cole, Coco Chanel or Steve Jobs were perfect at their craft when they started? Probably not, but look at where their determination, hard work, and understanding of beauty took them. Get out there, do something, and bring your understanding of beauty to the world.
Going forward, you will find this blog full of people who are doing just that. We will be featuring people from around the world who share parts of their understanding of beauty in what they do, big or small. We are excited to bring you along, so be sure to subscribe to American Jija (you can find this on the right side of they page) and follow us on Instagram to receive the latest and greatest of what we find.
