Howtostandout

The beauty of the venture is that we stand to lose nothing.
An outstanding or conspicuous example: "Hammett's gun went off. The shot was a beauty, just slightly behind the
eyes" (Lillian Hellman).

So, you wanna stand out among other beauties? It's not gonna be easy. But anything worth something takes a little
work.

Marilyn Monroe is a classic example of what women endure in their quest for beauty. Born Norma Jean Baker,
she changed her name to Marilyn Mornoe and created an image of beauty that has withstood the sands of time.
Many women imitate what she did to become a beauty icon: plastic surgery, bleached hair, pouty lips, a seductive
posture and baby talk. But, they don't realize that some internal work also went into it.

The persona Monroe put out came from a place deep in her core. Monroe was a foster child and had a deep need
to feel wanted. This drove her to seek fame at all costs.

While Monroe did have psychological challenges, she also had great inner strength. She demanded that she have
the last say on who directed her films. She also made a decision about what she wanted to be and went ALL OUT
to make it happen. When nude pictures of her surfaced (at a time when women were demure, stay-at-home
moms) Monroe said "who cares" and kept on trucking.

She made it her business to stand out among all the other beauties of her time. You know for yourself that there are
beautiful women ALL around. But beauty is nothing without substance!

The key to standing out among other beauties is to take some real "me" time to find your strengths and
weaknesses. Develop a strategy to release your emotional baggage (face your past and know that it does not
define you). You ask why I'm not giving you beauty tips for hair, makeup and body? That's because when you
work on the inside, everything on the outside falls into place. When you release your sorrow, you begin to look
younger and more alluring. You get pep in your step and MEN NOTICE!

Do an experiment for me. When you're in a public place, watch a group of men and how they react to women.
You'll start to see a pattern when it comes to the type of women who turn their heads and it's not always based on
outer beauty. They notice the women who look like they love themselves. Women who appear at peace with their
sexuality. Women who seem like they enjoy life.

When you find the true woman in you, you become a force that cannot be stopped. There will always be speed
bumps in the road, but know that you are equipped to deal with them.

So how do YOU stand out among other beauties? By being the real YOU!
