How important is beauty really? A lot of us say so much emphasis on outer
beauty, on the colour of skin, the hair, features etc, while we don't appreciate
the beauty within. True, it is great to look good. It raises your confidence
level, and makes you feel better about yourself, but how good do you really need
to look for this?
Remember, no matter how good you look, there will always be someone
better looking. But your nature, your characteristics, your quirks and your
personality these, not your face, are what make you the special person you are.
Good looks can only take you so far. A man may be incredibly handsome, but if he
doesn't have good manners, and if he doesn't know how to make a woman feel
special, he is not going to keep you very happy, and the same goes for women.
All that really matters are the nature and personality of a person. Beauty will
not last forever, but attitude will, so what you lack in beauty, make up for in attitude, and you're going to
do just fine.
Look your best*
At times when a woman is in the presence of another really beautiful
women, she tends to feel overwhelmed by her beauty and starts feeling insecure
about her own looks. Your hands rush up to straighten your hair, you pat your
clothes into place, and you wish you had taken more time in front of the mirror.
So take time out every morning to look as good as you possibly can, and then,
stop thinking about it. Remember, there will always be someone better looking,
so don't let another one make you feel ugly.
Compliment others often*
Compliment a friend, acquaintance or a colleague if she/ he is looking especially
nice, or if she/he is wearing something you like. Stopping yourself from passing a
compliment only feeds your own insecurity.
Make a conscious effort to avoid
envy*
If a close friend is nicer looking than you are, you may tend to harbor
resentment towards her, and in the process, distance her from certain aspects of
your life. Prettier women are not necessarily happier women. Everyone has their
highs and lows. Your friend may be prettier, but you may be in a very satisfying
relationship or you may have more loving siblings. As I said before, beauty will
fade. 30 years down the line none of this will matter. What will matter are the
relationships you have formed in the present.
And Finally
Dress Well:- This is more important than having a pretty face. Wear clothes
that suit you, that are trendy, and that fit you well. A great outfit will make
you feel great about yourself. The way you dress also speaks a lot for your
personality. If you are a sharp dresser, it doesn't matter whether or not you
have the most beautiful face, you will get noticed anyhow. Exercise, so your
body is in great shape.
