Seeing beauty is the key to surviving hardships in life. Though hardships are inevitable, suffering through them is not necessary. Being able to sense the beauty that is readily available to you could open ways for you to find peace within, with the world around you, and eventually see the beauty of your presence in the world. Beauty is felt through many deeper senses than only the eyes and ears. Whether or not you are an artist, you can develop your sensitivity to beauty. The book You Are the Beauty calls for the true mission of art, which is to create a bridge of meaning between beauty, the world of realities, and you. You Are the Beauty suggests that the transformation which can happen within the artist during the creative process is far more beautiful than the artwork itself.
