A Beautiful Heart Is More Important Than A Beautiful Body

I always shied away from facing a huge crowd and tried my maximum to avoid parties and functions. People thought of me as a diffident and reserved person; however the only reason behind all this was my insecurity about my looks.Yes, just like any other girl even I was behind good looks and glamour. My ego made me compare myself to all other pretty girls around me only to make myself feel embarrassed. I remember how I had spend days starving and struggling only to get a good figure. I had to hold back all my temptations for tasty food and spend days without having anything. Weeks and months passed only to make me realise that all my efforts were futile. It would be totally unfair if I say that there wasn’t any conspicuous result for my starvation. Yes, there was one result-I was admitted to the hospital.

Not just that, but I have even bought all sort of expensive and imported fairness cream available in the market to acquire fairer skin.Spending hours and hours covering my face with thick layers of creams made me look like someone who had got her head dug into a birthday cake. Although people made fun of me, I thought of never giving up until I had my fairness tone increased by at least one block. However, no cream has been discovered yet which was able to make my skin fairer. All my fruitless efforts to turn beautiful made me disappointed.

One day my parents on seeing me upset told me that it is ludicrous to be so obsessed with your looks. Looks are of least importance in life and can’t make any difference in your life but what makes a difference is how you present yourself in front of others. If you are good to others, they will also be good to you. They also added that no matter how you look you will always be our favourite. These words enlightened me and made me realise how ludicrous I was! I was running behind something which was completely immaterial. I recognised the real definition of beauty- beauty is not what we see outside but what we are actually inside.

Yes, there is something called as inner beauty which goes far beyond physical beauty and it is this inner beauty that makes one a beautiful person. Physical beauty is superficial and there is no guarantee that one’s physical appearance will remain the way it is till the end of their life. As we age, our physical beauty deteriorates with drooping skin and wrinkles but our inner beauty lasts forever. Our inner self is definitely something more appealing to others and is the doorway to others heart. It also helps to create an imprint on others heart in such a manner that no one would ever forget you for what you are even after your death.

When we start feeling good about ourselves, then gradually the people around us will also start feeling the same. People generally see us as a projection of how we perceive ourselves and hence it is very important for us to love and feel good about ourselves. If we are full of positivity and energy, then there is no need for us to become physically attractive as the vivacity is enough to attract others. The good qualities within oneself, their acumen and outlook -all these define how beautiful a person is!!!

Nevertheless, it is true that physical beauty is definitely a bonus if coupled with inner beauty but however inner beauty certainly takes over physical beauty and you will be loved for what you are not for the way you look. Remember, outer beauty can make people bestow a glance at you, but it is the inner beauty that makes people stay with you forever. So, start liking yourself the way you are and make other love you too!!
