The quest for beauty is an age-old search that started in ancient times around the cooking fire when certain women's physical attractiveness outshone the features of others. Appearance has long been prized and won accolades and monetary gain in pageants, movies and TV shows. The common modern standard for it is based on appearance and looks rather than more lasting qualities of character and inner strength.
But the old adages of beauty is not only skin deep and pretty is as pretty does seem to indicate that we as humans should look beyond the pretty face. We should instead look inward to judge the true elegance of the person involved. The inner qualities must be considered and valued in addition to the outward appearance of individuals.
A current modern fascination is with reality shows featuring kids dolled up in pageant fixings. The kids are dressed in beautiful clothes and they are expected to act mannerly and grown up. This expectation does not allow for the children to express what behavioral specialists call age appropriate behavior actions and mannerisms fitting their age and stage in life.
To evoke a persons true potential for attractiveness, it is necessary to include two attributes. One is physical attributes, which are transitory at best, and the second is their inner gifts, which can grow for a lifetime. These lasting qualities should be nurtured and encouraged in young people as they learn to grow and thrive amid the impermanence of daily life.
An individuals self concept of his or her elegance should not be dependent on appearance alone. It should reflect instead an evaluation of inner qualities and feelings such as love, respect and appreciation of others and the natural world. Appreciating the serenity of nature arrayed in glorious color and harmony cannot help but inspire a sense of awe at its glamor.
Music has a quality of elegance all its own. The harmonics of the scale and the talented proficiency of the players make for a sonorous sound which appeals to the musically talented and the tone-deaf alike. The relaxing and invigorating sounds of music have a quality of beauty all their own.
Beauty in the world must be measured by feelings and thoughts; there is no arbitrary measurement for it, despite what others would like us to believe. Whether it is color-based, appearance-based, or amenity-based, it cannot be quantified by a set of general standards. There is no set recipe for it in the world or no pill to be taken to ensure beautiful results.
So how can we ensure that we are beautiful? If wearing the latest makeup or facial product does not do it, what can? Making the most of yourself and taking the best physical care of yourself possible are two ways you can start. Deciding what is beautiful for you and setting a standard for yourself is another way to begin.
The truth about beauty is that there is not just one definition to be achieved world-wide. You have to set your own definition. Then, you must do whatever is in your power to make that happen for your life!
