There is a world of difference between LOOKING BEAUTIFUL and BEING BEAUTIFUL

Each one of us has a concept within our minds about ‘Beauty’. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…True. So what may strike as ‘being beautiful’ to one may not be the same in another’s eyes. Good looks , chiselled features, fair skin, model height, weight …the list is endless. But this is only with reference to physical beauty and to those who steal the limelight.

But here we are referring to BEING BEAUTIFUL which has nothing to do with physical looks. It refers to how you are as a person and how you make others feel about themselves.

Those who have reached their pinnacle of success, are in the limelight and enjoy celebrity status have clearly understood that there is a world of difference between LOOKING BEAUTIFUL and BEING BEAUTIFUL.

You were born beautiful. You were beautiful till you started comparing yourself with others. Your mind started to yarn its own stories when you observed stunning looks being given celebrity status. You became uneasy when you were sidestepped many times. So you concluded that your vital statistics and looks would never let you reach the top at any point of your life.

But what do celebrities say about BEAUTY ?

So there, the message is clear. You may or may not LOOK BEAUTIFUL (it’s a choice you can take). But BEING BEAUTIFUL is an absolute ‘must’. As an amazing creation, you must become beautiful from the inside. There is a conscious effort needed for that.

BEING BEAUTIFUL , therefore is being happy, being alive, being caring, being beautiful in the soul, making others happy, making them smile even you are burdened. BEAUTY FROM WITHIN lights up your soul and therein brings a glow to your face; when you start sharing and caring for the others, when your spirit becomes quiet  and gentle – there is an unfading beauty within you that creates an aura of magic around you.
