Summary

It implies that the pursuit of beauty or relying on external appearances for strength may be detrimental to personal well-being. Instead, the speaker emphasizes the importance of being content with oneself and striving for inner peace and acceptance. Ultimately, embracing a state of okayness, or being satisfied with who they have become, is presented as a preferable and healthier mindset over the fleeting power of beauty.
