You Are Beautiful

Posted on at


I was looking around "kick starter", a fantastic scheme which allows the public to fund different projects... and I found this:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/matthewhoffman/you-are-beautiful-book

It is a book, based on a project by one man, Matthew Hoffman. This guy saw a universal truth: "You Are Beautiful". And decided to make a sticker of it, pass it out to 100 people, and get it stuck all over the city, then the country, and now it's spread across the world!

I love the idea that just 3 words can have a profound impact on an individual... and can spread so quickly and easily. Other people caught onto this universal truth, and ran with it... producing more stickers, placing them in more places, and even creating giant versions of the same message in every corner of the globe:

 

And I LOVE it. I think its a fantastic idea. I love to think that it might have brought a smile to people everywhere at some point, and maybe even turned one persons bad day, into a good one! 

Only the other day, Amy and I were in an art shop, testing pens... and Amy wrote on the paper "Do what makes you happy." for the next person to come along and see. I hope maybe that little message will inspire someone, or they will see it as the sign they needed to get on with things and do what does make them happy!

Therefore, I want to do something similar! I already have a twitter page full of happy quotes, @happyquots4life . But I want to spread the word, and get them out there further!! I have so many messages I want to get out there, I'm not even sure which one I want to spread,but watch this space! I'm going to work on my own project very similar to this one :)
