What is beauty? Beauty is the characteristic of a person, which is based on a combination of inner beauty, such as personality, intelligence, grace, politeness, charisma, integrity, and elegance, and outer beauty, which includes physical appearances.
A person can be attracted by outward beauty only to find on closer examination that it is ugly on the inside. A beautiful looking person can be filled with hatred or with love. But how do we know unless we look on the inside? We often judge people when we first meet them by the way they look. It has always been said; you cannot judge a book by its cover. So look inside when you first meet people and look for that inner beauty, in the long run it is far more important than outward beauty.
People are influenced by the images they see in the media to determine what is or is not beautiful but these images are only 10% of the evaluated package. It is far more important to work on the attributes of your inner beauty and let your energy shine through. Ever heard the phase ‘it’s what’s on the inside that counts’, it’s true.
Our inner beauty can always change and grow, start by being confident within yourself so do the things that make you happy, try to focus on the good things in life and not dwell on the bad. Treat others the way you expect to be treated; happiness has a knock on effect so always greet someone with a smile. Look after yourself, what we eat and how we feel reflect on the way we look, so it is very important that you put yourself first.
It is not to say that outer beauty doesn’t matter, as it is our outer beauty that makes the first impression so always make an effort, you never know who you may meet…
