Inner Beauty VS Physical Beauty

 What is Beauty? We see pictures of models posing in magazines, and think to ourselves, “Man those girls are really beautiful!” Sure they are—physically, on the outside. But what about what’s on the “inside”? Are they kind? Are they helpful? Are they honest? Physical beauty is defined by somebodies good looks, their figure; it’s your outward appearance. On the other hand, inner beauty is completely different. It is how you act towards others, your personality, what’s on the inside! Megan Fox, shines as an example of physical beauty. I’m sure if you asked any random boy on any random street corner, “What do you think of Megan Fox?” they will reply with—“DUDE, she’s HOT!”  What about her personality? Is she kind? Is she helpful? Is she honest? Maybe she is, maybe she isn’t. Oprah Winfrey, she’s an example of inner beauty, she’s not the prettiest girl in the world, but she does a lot to help people. You know, some people don’t really even care. To some people, being physically beautiful is all that matters; but those people are lying to themselves. Inner beauty reflects physical beauty, and without it—physical beauty is useless. There is no point in having “good looks” if your personality is ugly.

    Let’s say you have this overweight friend. She has acne all over her face, her nails are all chewed off, and she doesn’t always smell like “Bath & Body”. But she helps others; she’s kind, honest, loving, and funny—is she beautiful? Physically, maybe not, but on the inside, absolutely! You have another friend who is the exact opposite! She has a perfect figure, perfect hands, perfect hair, and smells AMAZING! But when you talk to her, she isn’t kind, honest or helpful; she is just obsessed with how pretty she is. Is she beautiful? Physically, for sure! What about on the inside? Not really. Look at it this way, inner beauty is as if there is this enormous light shining inside you. Its light is so bright, it’s all people see when they hang out with you. When people get to know you they will love you for you! Not your hair, your nails, your figure, or even your face, but for your heart. Don’t get me wrong, it’s important to look presentable, smell nice, and brush your hair so you don’t scare people! But not so much drenching your face in makeup, making yourself look like a fake plastic doll. Although a lot of girls do, hoping to impress a good looking guy or something. Nobody should look in the mirror then glance at one of those Megan Fox magazines, then switch back and forth from the mirror to the model, and compare themselves. Physical Beauty isn’t only the “perfect” appearance on somebody. It can be how you present yourself for others, your smile, your clothes, what’s BEHIND the makeup, just little things like that. To be truly successful in your life, what you see in the mirror won’t really matter. When you apply for a job, the employer will look at how you approach others, your personality—your inner beauty, and also how you present yourself—your physical beauty. Nobody is perfect though. I think that every girl is insecure about at least one thing on their body; whether or not it’s her eyebrows, fingers, nose, or stomach. It’s something! When I see people I look at their physical beauty first, then once I talk to them for a bit and get to know them. How do they talk? Do they gossip? Are their words kind? Are they telling the truth? I notice how they walk, are they confident in themselves, or are they just hoping for attention. I’ve heard several times that beauty is in the eye of its beholder, which means that each one of us has a different idea, on what beauty is. To me, a beautiful person is somebody who has love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, patience, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in her heart. To someone else, beauty could be something entirely different then my definition of it. A lot of people are beautiful in their own little way. I’ll put it this way, not every beautiful person is good, but all good people are beautiful.

    Everyone needs some self-esteem. People need to know they’re valuable and worth something. No matter what you look like, if you’re tall, short, stubby, skinny, colored, white—everyone is BEAUTIFUL-- even if they don’t know it yet. Whether it’s their inner beauty or physical beauty that shines the brightest, you are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! There is this quote by Alicia Keys that’s says: “All of us are different. That's what makes us interesting and special. I don't want to be anything like another person. I want to be totally myself and go against the grain, forge my own path. I've learned that being different is what makes you stand out. It makes everything so much more intriguing." When she said that she was completely right! So many people compare themselves to others; they compare themselves to their own definition of beauty. But they really need to be themselves, not what the magazines say they should be. Somebody else might just think they’re perfect just the way they are! So again, what is Beauty? We see pictures of models posing in magazines, and think to ourselves, “Man that girl is really beautiful!” Sure she is—physically, on the outside. But what about what’s on the “inside”? Is she kind? Is she helpful? Is she honest? There’s a difference.
