Beauty Series Pt.2 | The Experience and Expression of Beauty
This episode is our heartfelt exploration of beauty, far beyond its physical sense.
We delve into the beauty that lies hidden in the unwavering commitment that people pour into their crafts, and the importance of taking imperfect action while believing in your potential to create something beautiful.
Being open to experiencing beauty can enhance our lives in ways we may not have imagined. We fervently believe that beauty is omnipresent. All we need is to take a moment to observe.
Part of what makes life beautiful is the pursuit of beauty, and that pursuit of beauty manifests in those moments where you are present and you have integrity and you do your best and show up 100% for the sake of being there, just for the sake of doing a job well done, for the sake of being a good friend, for the sake of being and experiencing what it means to be alive. You know that is beautiful beauty for the sake of itself. ["the Beauty of being a Good Friend"]. Welcome to A Little Alignment.

Enough of that, let's dive into the yummy, yummy episode that we have planned for you today. So this is a part two of our beauty series, yeah, two of. I think we're gonna have three episodes, and so the first one. We were talking more about beauty standards. I mean, when you hear beauty, you think what you know you've seen Physical beauty.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, you type it into the Google, into the Google, and it says you know, it comes up with all these like beauty products, and we think about beauty as far as the aesthetic of a person or whatever. But probably the second level of beauty when you think about beauty or discuss beauty is the experience of beauty. Beauty is art, beauty of expression, things like that, and so that's what we wanna dive into today beauty in art and expression.
Speaker 2:I think that it's something that can be experienced, that beauty is something that can be experienced. It's something that can be felt, observed, not just like in a like what meets the eye, but like we were kind of talking about this earlier, and it's. There's something really beautiful about seeing someone in their flow, like I can even think of watching basketball games, and you can see some of the athletes that are just like doing their thing and you can like see and almost like feel the energy that it takes for them to just be in this place, where they're just doing their thing and they've really like perfected their craft so much so that you can see that they're in a flow and they're just feeling it and it's amazing, you know, and so it's something really. Beauty is something obviously to be seen, but also to sense it through vibes and to witness somebody be in their flow is just such an amazing thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anything artistic I mean, especially when you think like what you traditionally would imagine. When it comes to art like writing, music, painting, dance, all that right, even construction and designing buildings, architecture, I should say you know there's. There's maybe with architecture and construction, but with other things there's not really a right way to create it, but there's something. When you're in that flow it's almost like you step into the beauty of it. The beauty of creation, and at that point something else feels like it's driving.
Speaker 1:You know when you really just and it doesn't even matter what you're doing, like in art, in creation, but also in business creation and creating your home. When you get into that flow, the logical human in a, the part that holds us back, I should say almost kind of gets the backseat naturally and you're directed by something divine.
Speaker 1:That's what it's, the experience of being in flow is to me and I love that you brought that out like right out the gate, because I feel like that's something so connected to art and creation and expression of beauty. Is that flow Like that's? When it's that's when it's. That's when it's something that's not just us right.
Speaker 2:And that's beautiful, like it can be really authentic to and unique to the individual, which is what makes it so beautiful. Because I feel like when we get in our head too much about creating something or doing something, we're getting in the way of that flow. It becomes so controlled that I think it could sometimes feel like over-manufactured, because we kind of have this like idea. It has to be a certain way which is actually limiting, because if you were to step into the flow and allow things to just go and be natural, you're opening yourself up to kind of like what you described. I mean I believe it is too sort of this like divine energy that comes through and you always I mean I've always heard of like even poets and different authors talk about ideas come through them. Yeah, and the way that some people even describe their creative process. It's so much more than just thinking through, okay, what needs to happen next or what you know needs to be here or there, but it's like this inspiration that comes to them suddenly, like they become the channel, the instruments.
Speaker 1:They become the instrument.
Speaker 2:But it was made possible by them stepping out of the way and kind of like releasing the reins of control on that process.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean there's a gap that's bridged right between divinity and human, because you know, like when you write I mean I used to write music and some of my most Popular songs, the songs that people liked the most, were the ones that I didn't even think about, but they were from my heart, like they were me. They were my experiences that I was expressing. I was just getting them out and a lot of them were sad or even really goofy. I wasn't thinking I wasn't trying to create a masterpiece, right, I was just expressing what was real in my heart.
Speaker 1:Yeah you know, I think that it's no coincidence, at least in English language, that art is in the word heart. You know if it's not from the heart. Then, is it really art, or is it just paint on paper? Is it just words in a song? You know what I mean. When does something go from? Just when does it become art?
Speaker 2:Can I get back to you on that one? I Don't know, I might not have an answer on that.
Speaker 1:It's interesting because and so much of it too is in like, beauty is in the eye of the Beholder. Oh yeah, for sure. So To one person it might not be art.
Speaker 1:It might not even be, might not even be beautiful, like you can see art. I mean, like I can appreciate that as something artistic, but like a song or something. I don't like that song, yeah, but I can appreciate that it's art. But, yeah, you, you can't necessarily choose who it's gonna be beautiful to, but I guess that beauty in it is in the eye of the beholder. So mm-hmm. That's scary. Yeah, you just put it out there for someone to either Find beauty in or not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I mean, it always goes back to the thing where, like, you're not meant to be everyone's cup of tea, and Part of why I think some people find something really beautiful is because it's special to them, it, it like resonates with them, and if you were ever to create something that was truly meant to be for everyone, it would really have to kind of be watered down, to be neutral enough to be that for everybody. You know what I mean. Like, then it's, then it kind of loses the uniqueness and it and you can't, you don't give yourself over to that flow.
Speaker 1:Right, you're trying to control it right.
Speaker 2:And then the other thing that I think is really interesting about beauty, kind of going back to what I was saying about athletes, it's like the reason I think it's beautiful to see people like even like you know, olympians and stuff, who are doing something so incredibly well, and the beauty in that is that you know what you're seeing is a product of so much work, determination and dedication and like there was a lot of hardship that went into creating that.
Speaker 2:And Also it's just so admirable to see somebody who can step into devoting themselves to something so much that they're able to Do what they do with such flow, like I mean, an easy example is like ice skating Right, when they do some of those tricks. There's some of them that are like or the moves or the jumps or whatever. Like some of them it looks real clunky, but the ones that are like getting the highest scores and the ones that are like really killing it are the ones that make it look effortless, right, and so that's an a more obvious, like beautiful thing to witness. But there's the same thing that goes with like other sports, like even just like runners right on track, like the way they're running, they almost look like a gazelle or something.
Speaker 1:You know what I?
Speaker 2:mean something just so graceful like running is their art.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm or whatever sport is their art, it's their form of Expression, expressing that divine flow really is pole vaulting a thing that is sure is so that's the one where, like you stabbed the Big ass, stick into the ground and you fly over the lot, the yeah. So obviously I'm not super well versed in this, but I've always watched those and thought, holy cow, they look like they're just flying and it looks effortless. But I guarantee you I would look clunky as hell trying to just hold that stick alone, let alone get any airtime or go anywhere. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what your experience of the beauty like you, being able to take that in and really experience that, because that's a beautiful thing to witness, right? Mm-hmm, you're seeing the beauty and you're experiencing it, and we have become so overly critical as a Society. I mean, I think with these shows that we can like American Idol or America's next top model, or so you think you can dance like. Everyone is a critic.
Speaker 1:And so we watch, and even watching sports like I remember going to a UT game. We were near the front and we were next to this huge group of men and they were so angry and yelling mean things at the players and the coaches and they're just sitting there like drinking their beer, you know.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, I know right.
Speaker 1:I guess they're invested and I think that's so fun. I think there's something beautiful about that as well. But at the same time, like man, these guys are working their asses off and all we're doing is telling them how they could do better Instead of your approach. Is so the experience of life as a bystander right, because the experience of creating art is the whole thing in and of itself, but witnessing people do things beautifully, it is something we must choose into. We don't no one can force a beautiful experience down our throat right, yeah.
Speaker 1:So being able to stand back and instead step out of the critic and into the role of the witness, the role of the receiver of beauty. There's probably so much we're missing, so many, so much beauty that we're missing because we could, seriously, we could watch football. We could watch football and be like, wow, look at him, just the great. Like, look at the talent.
Speaker 1:We could watch somebody performing a song that may not perform it perfectly and allow ourselves to appreciate the 10,000 hours that has gone into perfecting what it is that they're doing, and then at that point we're not just witnessing it and enjoying it for what it is, but we're also witnessing and enjoying the divinity in that person that they're able to express, because there's a certain level of devotion and dedication, and whatever, to your art, to your craft, if you will, and until you really master it to some degree, you can't flow with it, you can't produce the thing that makes people pause. I mean, I guess that's not, that's very all or nothing. I guess it's not absolutely true, but generally speaking I think it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you have to just be willing to start. We were talking about this earlier just being okay with the beginning of creation not being like the most beautiful, amazing thing ever. You just have to start and practice and get better and better. It's like the 10,000 hour rule, you know, with 10,000 hours is when you can finally start to perfect something. There was a plastic surgeon that I worked for at the beginning of my career and he did some of the most incredible reconstructive plastic surgery. I mean, these people looked amazing and it wasn't any little, they weren't small or little changes, like there was some really major stuff that he was able to help reconstruct and it was such an art, so incredible. He did such a good job. And then you can even think about it in other places, like even podcasting. You know, sometimes you listen to a podcasting, open his an aurs, but you're like, wow, you haven't quite perfected the interview process.
Speaker 2:You know, like there's an art to asking interesting questions or holding people's attention or having enough of you know substance to you know give value and stuff like that. But then you do listen to somebody who you're just thinking, wow, like this person is such a great interviewer, these are amazing questions and you can really appreciate the beauty and what they're doing because of what it's created. And so, just starting, you know that plastic surgeon wasn't amazing day one and that podcaster wasn't amazing day one either, but it's like through just allowing yourself to begin and kind of like get the hours in, and it's so funny because that plastic surgeon actually always talked about the 10,000 hour rule too.
Speaker 1:That's Malcolm Gladwell. Is that the author the Outliers? That's from the book the Outliers. I think it's Malcolm Gladwell, but yeah, that's a good book and it talks a lot about that, about like, what makes excellent people excellent, right, and I think that excellence is the beauty. That's another word for beauty. When somebody's excellent at what they do, there's that is beauty, that is, to be able to witness that and experience it and receive that is. It's the feeling of beauty, not just the aesthetics of beauty necessarily, yeah, but it was Malcolm Gladwell. Word.
Speaker 2:Let me see the direct quote was that the key to achieving true expertise in any scale is simply a matter of practicing, albeit in the correct way, for at least 10,000 hours.
Speaker 1:This is I love when this things work out this way, when life aligns like this. Cause I was just reminded today of something from Mark Manson. I said to Mark Manson no, I'm forgetting everybody's names His book the Settle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, and there was something I went to look for specifically. But in that section of his book just today I listened to him say anybody who's good at something or better at you than something, they're only better than you because they've fucked up more than you at that thing. Right To put it, you know.
Speaker 2:Closely.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bluntly, but that's the truth. I mean we have to be.
Speaker 1:there is something in this where we have to be willing to get it wrong. We have to be willing to be messy or, as my sister-in-law just so beautifully said, take imperfect action. But how empowering is that? To remind ourselves that we have the permission to do that, to take the imperfect action. Because that imperfect action, taken over and over again for 10,000 plus hours, that's what helps to get us to this point where we can really participate in this immaculate expression of whatever, of whatever the divine speaks through us, whatever we open ourselves up to, whatever our life experience paired with that flow can produce.
Speaker 2:Yeah, now that, like we're talking about this, it really, I think part of the beauty in it, too, is admiring the person who stuck with something long enough and wasn't afraid to take that imperfect action. So like, for example, somebody I was thinking about when we were kind of talking about this earlier too, was Ed Sheeran had an interview where they actually pulled up like one of the very first things he ever recorded, and his voice was like complete shit, like it was horrible, and you're almost just thinking like and he has such a beautiful voice, I know, I mean, he's incredible. And so you're thinking like how is it possible? Cause when you see somebody like Ed Sheeran, you kind of feel like, oh, this guy's just got it. You know he's got this voice and that's just who he is, but it's, it's gotta be like that. Though Don't tell him what. That's actually not the case.
Speaker 2:He had to work to get to the point that he's at, to sound as good as he does and create what he's created, and what he had said is he kind of feels like it's like opening up an old faucet and when you turn it on for the first time, there's all this rust and like shit that comes out and it's really gross and disgusting and yeah. But then he let it run long enough and you kind of get rid of all the shit and it starts to run clear, and so that's what he equated himself to is like, when I first started, I had to get all the shit out, but then, after that was when I was able to create the beautiful stuff, and so, yeah, it's just really admirable to see somebody like him, where, like, yeah, the first few things were definitely not good, but that didn't stop him and look where he is now, you know. So I think that obviously his music is beautiful, but the process and the person that he is to be able to come this far is also where the beauty lies.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's so true. I mean, it's not just like. I mean for him too, like there's that's the thing about this topic that fills me up from toes to the top of my head, just to the brim with beauty is that it's such a synergistic relationship, right Like there's a connective element to this. It's the both, and, like you and me and everyone, there's a lifting up of the collective when we participate in this process, right Like now. Ed Sheeran he has songs that make people weep. They're so beautiful I mean, I'll speak for myself. His perfect song Baby na, na, na na.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they evoke such emotion and they can create such experiences, which is what beauty can do, which is why beauty is so interesting. It is so interesting.
Speaker 1:Now we have his music that does that, and he has the experience of becoming somebody, becoming the type of artist and musician that can create that type of music, and then we experience it, and then we love it, and then he gets to experience the beauty of somebody loving his creation. Yes, I mean, it's just. It just goes round and round and round and round. The circle goes, as you know what I mean, and that's too. There's an element of art and creation that is inextricable from our humanity. There's something innately in us that wants to express, that wants to create.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And yet we hold ourselves back both from creating, from really truly expressing what's in there, deeply within us and you know, sometimes that's something that's been living in this for a long time or like to what, to your point earlier, the ideas are the things where it's just like pure inspiration, which that totally brings me into Elizabeth Gilbert, her book Big Magic have you read that Part.
Speaker 2:I haven't finished it. I started it forever ago. It's so good.
Speaker 1:It's so beautiful. I love her Talk about somebody who can really talk in a beautiful way.
Speaker 2:You know, I mean her and her words are just gosh.
Speaker 1:That's a kiss. Absolute beauty and excellence there. But she talks about ideas. She personifies them Like our ideas are like little. They're like little energetic people that are like sitting around and they're like who's going to bring me into the physical realm and so they'll sit with you for a moment and you can grab onto them and really give them life or they'll move on. That's an inspiration. Then there's other things that just won't leave us alone, like our love for music, our love for painting, our love for dance, our love for whatever, whatever type of expression. There's like such a long list. I'm not even gonna try to exhaust it, because art and expression are so much more than the traditional.
Speaker 2:What we traditionally talk about right.
Speaker 1:But we stop ourselves because we're afraid to take imperfect action.
Speaker 2:The other part of that, too, is that I feel like some people don't believe that they have something beautiful to share. It's so common for us to take for granted the things that we do, thinking like, oh, everybody does this or everybody knows that, you know. So what's special about what I have to offer, especially with the conversation we're talking about today? Beauty is more than just obviously, like we're saying. It's more than meets the eye. It's an energy, it's an experience, it's something that you can create, even for someone in a completely different context you wouldn't think about, like, for instance, one of my best friends, brittany.
Speaker 2:She is a complete badass and one of the things that she brings about is being able to organize and bring teams together in such a way that it creates harmony and productivity in some of the most challenging ways or in some of the most challenging contexts. And there's so much beauty in that because from that, you have people who are feeling fulfilled, or you have roles that are being filled by people who are empowered. You have Business running so much more smoothly, and there's so much beauty in that, and I don't know if that kind of beauty really gets the recognition. You know, and so it. She came a long way from the very beginning of her career to the where, to the place that she's at now, where she's able to do things that I'm just like you're such a badass like she can handle a lot and she's put in her 10,000 hours.
Speaker 2:Oh for sure. She's put in her 10,000 hours and being able to witness her in being a leader is a beautiful thing, and when we when I say I think everybody has beauty to share, you really have to like look at this through the lens of just being someone who totally owns and Excels in what they do, because there's beauty in that and it can be Experienced in a whole bunch of different ways. But I think the key to is not only taking in perfect action but believing in what's possible.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, and also like the, the concept of beauty at its roots really was born in Greece. And and when you look up the definition of beauty in in Greek, there's a couple of words. One of my favorite is Carlos, I think that's how you pronounce it it's k a l l o s or sometimes k? A l o s and it's there's a couple of definitions. One is it's very much so about the aesthetic right and it has to do a symmetry and there's no shame in it. It's like what is beautiful to the eye is very praiseworthy and they really honored beauty and the sculptures and you know, put it into art what they thought was beautiful aesthetically. But then there's another definition that I think is exactly what you're getting at here and it's it's like the integrity of a job Well done.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's all of that right and that one of my favorite phrases I literally say it to myself all the time is beauty for the sake of itself. And I say that when I'm sitting down to do work. I'm saying that when I'm decorating my home or cleaning, or sitting down to have a conversation with someone to remind myself that part of what makes life beautiful is the pursuit of beauty, and that pursuit of beauty manifests in those moments where you are present and you have integrity and you do your best and show up 100% For the sake of being there, just for the sake of doing a job well done, for the sake of being a good friend, for the sake of being and experiencing what it means to be alive. You know that is Beautiful beauty for the sake of itself. It's not to create or produce anything Other than the experience of a job well done, doing something well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's so. You know, that's something we haven't even talked about. The beauty of relationships. You know, because you'll, you'll see, I don't know, maybe a couple or a relationship between a parent and a child, and what do people say? Oh my god that's so beautiful. Yeah, that's recognizing devotion and love and Kindness or whatever. Right like. These are all things we haven't even talked about, but it's like there's something beautiful about that and I think that's exactly what you're describing. Beauty for the sake of beauty, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Beauty for the sake of itself? Yeah, the being, the presence, the reality of it and the experience of being in it, like, not any specific part of it. No, there's no way to like come out of it and say, there, now it's beautiful. It's just the fact that you're experiencing it, that you're in a relationship and that integrity piece is so important. It's not doing it to please anyone. It's not doing it to create anything. It's doing it with all of your heart and soul For that reason alone to walk away from it saying I put my whole self into that. Right, obviously, the things that are deserving of that, because your heart and soul are very sacred.
Speaker 2:So it's not something you just do without some intention right, I love beauty and it's so funny Like for so long I felt so guilty about beauty and, like I kind of referenced in the first part of this series, but I really enjoy it from, not only like the visual aspects but the way it makes me feel, the way I can witness it in others I do have. There's a lot of me that really likes to facilitate experiences for other people that are gonna be beautiful, because there's just something so special to it. I feel like for me, when I'm trying to create a really beautiful experience, it's gonna be a combination of the way someone feels, but also like the space, what it looks like, because I feel like it adds to the experience, the ambiance.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we love it, we love our ambiance, you and I. Oh yeah, for sure ambiance, girly, because it's a whole yeah.
Speaker 2:It's like it really is a full experience, and For it to be an entire experience it needs to be. I like it to stimulate all the senses, yeah.
Speaker 1:You know what this makes me think of? This makes me think of the Michelin stars. And, yeah, how my my husband told me about this book that he read called Unrealistic expectation. No, no no.
Speaker 1:I can't remember what it's called. I'll get back to you on it, I'm sure it'll pop into my mind at some point. But they talked about these, the restaurants that have these three Michelin stars. Right, one Michelin star is worth a stop, two is worth a trip and three is worth a destination. And some of these three star Michelin restaurants are not all that exciting Visually, like aesthetically.
Speaker 1:You walk in and it's like, or on the outside it's just kind of plain. I mean, in this whole book's premise was about how he had the worst day of his life. I mean, he had just come from his mother's funeral and he was a young kid and he went to this restaurant. There was three Michelin stars and the experience that he had was so Beautiful that he said that it happened to make it the worst, one of the worst days of his life and one of the best days Of his life just because of his experience in a restaurant. Wow, right. So first of all, that it was so much about what you were saying, like the experience, obviously the ambiance You're not gonna have a great experience if it's disgusting or cold or gross, but it doesn't have to be anything extravagant to be beautiful but also how that experience of beauty can be felt, can be had and experienced even in a restaurant, especially in a restaurant, like anywhere, right?
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, I think that the like, the key here and kind of going back to what I think was trying To communicate earlier and I kept just saying the word whole was that it's more intentional. So there's no way that he walked into that restaurant Without those people having a very clear intention around what they wanted that experience to be, you know, and so I feel like when you have the elements of of someone's full experience in mind, it feels more thoughtful and I can really appreciate that somebody took the time into doing that and again, it's like the integrity comes in behind it and there's just so much beauty in that somebody cared enough that they really want to create that experience for you. That's really special.
Speaker 1:It is, I agree. And to come back to some point that you made near the beginning, that I think is an integral part of all of this of experiencing beauty is opening ourselves up to the experience of beauty. One thing I was just saying to you is like you can pass something that's absolutely exceptionally beautiful, like a sunset or a vista. You can walk right past it and even see it, but choose not to take it in fully. So there is an element here where we will only experience the amount of beauty that we open ourselves up to. So true, beauty's in the eye of the beholder, but we must become the beholder to experience that beauty. And you know the difference right To see something and be like, wow, that's so pretty. Anyway, what was I doing Versus? Pausing, taking a breath and searching for the details and looking at just like being willing to take it all in.
Speaker 1:I was telling you about my dog. He does this Shout out to peanut butter. He'll do this thing where he'll go out back, and sometimes he I mean he's usually very barky. He wants to go out back and he wants to bark at all the squirrels and he's running around and he's zoom. He's very young and lively.
Speaker 2:But once in a while.
Speaker 1:I'll catch him. Like he's been out there for a while and I haven't heard from him and I'll go and find him. And he's just standing there, his feet are firmly planted, he's not going anywhere and he's just. His chin and nose are up and he's just sniffing the air and he's looking around. He's not moving an inch, he's just, and I'm like he's just taking it all in. That's what we always say he's just taking it all in.
Speaker 2:And he's so present. That's the thing with dogs is that he's not worried about the future or the past. He stepped outside and saw a beautiful day and was like there 100% in the present moment.
Speaker 1:He's smelling it, he's seeing it, he's just dealing it Fully there for it, and I love that. I think we can totally take a page out of peanut butter's book more often. And just choose to take it in life Another person, a piece of art, a dish that we're eating Back in the day it's gonna be a beautiful experience.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God have we not talked about food yet? We talked about beauty, we talked about a restaurant Food.
Speaker 1:We did a little bit. We talked about restaurants. Yeah, michelin stars.
Speaker 2:It's a whole other thing. Maybe this is gonna be a really long series, because food deserves its own episode.
Speaker 1:Beauty really is all around us, but we have to choose to be the beholder.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's in everything when you can stop and appreciate it and be present. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1:So if you wanna experience and express more beauty in your life, I mean the first step is just first to just choose to step into the eye of the beholder of what is beautiful.
