Perceptions of Beauty & Appearance

Inner Grace Reflects Eternal Beauty 

You see, sometimes you do not even have to know someone’s name in order to like them. It just sort of happen, you know? As much as we ought to deny it, but the truth is, appearance is something, someone first acknowledge when they meet you. People often ponder on the aspect of appearance. What you look like, sort of gives people the impression of how they perceive you to be. 

Inner grace reflects your true countenance & character. It makes you even more appealing.

Hey, guess what? In the end, none of that essentially matters. It’s true that people chase after appearance. The thing is, does appearance really define who a person truly is, deep within? Is it on par with what you perceive them to be like, and what they truly are? Question yourself that, and reflect upon it.

Appearance is just something on the surface. If you look good, and then it’s wonderful! However, try not to let a person’s appearance clouds your verdict, on his/her actual characteristics. Look beyond all that is on the outer; all that beauty, imperfections or flaws of a person and you will notice that, they are truly just like everyone else. One with a heart, soul, feelings, and empathy. Even so, I am sure, every beautiful people, just want to be seen, in the light, as who they truly are (genuine personality), and not by what they look like.

On the other hand, if you are not born a natural beauty, fret not, it’s okay. Someone out there, or anyone at all, will find just one thing about you (your quirks), that is attractive to him/her. After all, people are akin to the flowers. They may vary with different species/breeds but all of them are beautiful in their own ways! Mimosa, bird's nest fern, and even lalangs (coarse weedy Malaysian grass) are all beautiful breeds of flowers/plants. All it takes, is just the right kind of person to genuinely appreciate their beauties, and distinguish their significances. We cannot deny the fact that, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". By other means, just because you weren't born as orchids, roses, morning glory (pretty), it doesn't mean that other people would not find lalangs, cactus and such to be appealing. You are worth more that you think or deserve. It just takes the right kind of person to see through the cracks. I have to admit, this may sound really outlandish and maybe even made you crinkle your nose, but it does make perfect sense, doesn't it? :)

When you look someone with the gaze of warmth, and love, they will retaliate back, the same way. A warm gaze is very fuzzy, and people will initially be drawn to you. Look at people with kindness, even when they dart cold arrows your way. Keep trying, but if they never change, just leave them behind, and move on. Be nice to yourself!  Not everyone is nasty, just give everyone a chance. Keep in mind that, beauty is just something on the surface. The true character/personality within you, is what makes you unique and one of its kind. You will soon discover that, people will like you for being you, and not solely on how you looked like! Everyone is truly beautiful, in their own little ways. 

“It is better to be hated for being who you are, than to be liked for being who you are not”

JUST BE YOU, OR AT LEAST TRY, TO BE YOURSELF. 
BECAUSE, GENIALITY IS SOMETHING VERY BEAUTIFUL.

Sorry, for sounding cliché. Have you ever thought that perhaps everything that sounds cliché has a significant? This is mainly because, when something is true and factual, then it is only likely to be uttered by the lips, of many. Love yourself, beauty shines from within. Lots of love, and have a nice day! <3

A beautiful heart bears a beautiful face~<3

Have faith in yourself! When you believe, others will too :)
