Be Your Own Definition of Amazing: Beauty Is Not What Defines You

“Don’t be beautiful, they keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be. But honestly? Forget that. Don’t be beautiful. Be angry, be intelligent, be witty, be klutzy, be interesting, be funny, be adventurous, be crazy, be talented—there are an eternity of other things to be other than beautiful. And what is beautiful anyway but a set of letters strung together to make a word? Be your own definition of amazing, always, that is so much more important than anything beautiful, ever.”

We live in a world where the word beautiful is so often held up as the ultimate compliment, as if it's the highest standard of worth anyone can achieve. For girls and women in particular, society pushes the narrative that being beautiful is something they must strive for. But here’s the thing: beauty is not what defines you. Beauty doesn’t measure your worth, your intelligence, your strength, or your spirit. In fact, there are far more powerful, meaningful, and lasting things you can be.

Forget about being beautiful. Instead, focus on being authentic, being bold, being everything else that makes you truly remarkable. The world needs more of your uniqueness—your intelligence, your humor, your creativity. It needs the real, messy, complex you, not just a picture-perfect version of beauty that someone else has defined.

Breaking the Beauty Mold

From a young age, girls are often told that being beautiful is one of the most important things they can aspire to. We see it everywhere—in the media, in social interactions, even in casual compliments. "She’s so beautiful," people say, as if that’s the highest praise one can offer. But why should beauty be the standard that girls and women are measured by?

Beauty is subjective, fleeting, and often a social construct. What one person finds beautiful, another might not. And yet, we let this arbitrary idea hold so much weight in how we view ourselves and how others perceive us. But here’s the truth: beauty doesn’t last, but your character, your spirit, and your mind do.

When we focus too much on being beautiful, we risk losing sight of all the other things that truly matter—our intelligence, our creativity, our kindness, our passion. It’s time to stop letting beauty be the standard we aspire to and start embracing all the other incredible qualities that make us who we are.

Be Intelligent, Be Bold, Be Anything but Beautiful

Instead of chasing after society’s narrow definition of beauty, choose to be something more. Be intelligent—let your mind be a force to be reckoned with. Intelligence is power, and the ability to think critically, solve problems, and create new ideas will carry you farther than beauty ever could.

Be witty, be funny, be adventurous—allow your personality to shine. Your sense of humor, your curiosity, and your willingness to try new things are what make you interesting and fun to be around. These are the qualities that create meaningful connections with others and make life truly exciting.

Be angry when it’s justified—because sometimes anger is necessary. Anger can fuel change, motivate action, and push you to stand up for what’s right. It’s okay to be passionate and outspoken about the things you care about. Don’t let the world convince you that being quiet or agreeable is more important than being strong and vocal.

Be crazy, be klutzy, be unique—embrace the quirks and imperfections that make you who you are. The world needs people who are unapologetically themselves, not people who are constantly trying to fit into someone else’s mold.

There are an infinite number of things you can be that are more valuable than beauty. You don’t have to conform to anyone’s expectations of what you should look like or how you should present yourself. You can choose to be everything else that is amazing, dynamic, and one-of-a-kind.

Redefining What It Means to Be "Amazing"

What does it mean to be amazing? For too long, we’ve let beauty be part of that definition. But the truth is, amazing isn’t something that can be measured by how you look. Being amazing is about how you live your life, how you treat others, how you show up for yourself and the people around you. It’s about being bold, kind, and unapologetically yourself.

Think of the women you admire most. Chances are, it’s not just their appearance that inspires you. It’s their strength, their creativity, their intelligence, their passion. It’s the way they navigate life with authenticity and grace. These qualities are what make them truly amazing—not their physical beauty, but their character and spirit.

You, too, have the ability to redefine what it means to be amazing. Stop letting beauty be the yardstick by which you measure your value. Instead, define amazing on your own terms. Be your own version of amazing, always. Let your heart, your mind, and your actions speak louder than any societal standard of beauty ever could.

Beauty Is Just a Word

At the end of the day, beauty is just a word—a set of letters strung together to form an idea that has no real power unless you give it power. There’s nothing wrong with being beautiful, but there’s also nothing wrong with not fitting into society’s narrow definition of beauty. What truly matters is who you are, not how you look.

Being beautiful won’t make you happier, smarter, or more fulfilled. It won’t guarantee you success or deep, meaningful relationships. But being authentic, being kind, being strong, and being brave—those are the qualities that will bring you a life filled with purpose, love, and joy.

If you spend your life chasing after beauty, you’ll always feel like you’re falling short. But if you choose to focus on all the other things you can be—intelligent, witty, adventurous, kind—you’ll find that life becomes so much richer and more fulfilling.

Be Your Own Definition of Amazing

So, forget about being beautiful. Be amazing instead. Be the person who lights up a room with your intelligence, your humor, your kindness, and your creativity. Be the person who isn’t afraid to take risks, to make mistakes, to be a little crazy, or a little clumsy. Be the person who shows up for life with curiosity, passion, and courage.

You don’t need to fit into anyone else’s definition of beauty. You don’t need to mold yourself into something you’re not. You are already enough, just as you are. Your worth isn’t defined by how you look, but by the way you live your life and the impact you have on others.

Remember this: there are so many things you can be in this world that are far more important than being beautiful. Be your own definition of amazing—because that’s what the world truly needs.

Embrace Your Uniqueness

If you’ve ever felt pressured to fit into society’s definition of beauty, now is the time to let that go. You are so much more than what you look like. You are your thoughts, your ideas, your dreams, your passions. You are a whole, complex, and extraordinary person, and that is far more valuable than any standard of beauty.

Embrace your uniqueness. Be all the things that make you amazing. And most importantly, don’t ever let the world convince you that you need to be beautiful to be worthy.
