In 2006, the world of pop music was shaken to its core by the powerful, inspirational song that was Beautiful by Christina Aguilera.
Until then, the scene had been dominated by relatively light, frothy and inconsequential tunes. But then came Aguilera, who let everyone know just how beautiful they were.
"You are beautiful, no matter what they say / Words can't bring you down / You are beautiful in every single way / Yes words can't bring you down / So don't you bring me down today," Aguilera sang.
Her music video featured people of all shapes, sizes, colors and genders. The song helped people to realize that beauty is not limited to the conventional, since it more often lies within a person where it cannot be seen on the surface.
Ilchi Lee believes that every person has the human potential to be as beautiful and as loving as they want to be. All it takes is a little bit of self-reflection, meditation and perhaps a nudge from an inspirational song.
