Beautiful Inside Out


This is one thought that I've always had and wanted to share. What is the definition of beauty or being beautiful? Is it just being physically beautiful? Or does it have to do with something internal impact?

God creates everyone with different features. Some have very unique and attractive features, whereas others have simple and plain features. Some might be dark, others light. Different colors for the eyes, different types of noses, height, weight, etc. Do our physical features really depict our beauty? If one is born with a defect, can we call that person ugly? We don't have control over our God given physical features, so why lament over it and feel bad about it? (I'm not thinking about people who do plastic surgeries and stuff. You need money for that!!) People around us will accept us, if we truly are beautiful. Not beautiful in looks, but beautiful in Character.

I believe, that since we don't have the absolute ability to control our looks, why not beautify our character? I doesn't cost a penny and it doesn't hurt anyone. It makes us happy as well. Also, if we have a truly content mind, it reflects on our health and our looks. Looking healthy, makes people around us happy and attracted to us. A person with beautiful character and conduct is reverred by everyone. 

Being beautiful is having a good character, no matter what you look like. Your character is something you can control, so you can be beautiful. Even if people might shun you sometimes for the way you look, your beautiful character can truly move them.

Remember, "Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder"

"If wealth is lost, nothing is lost.
  If health is lost, something is lost.
  If character is lost, everything is lost."
