"As we grow old, the beauty steals inward."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
True beauty flourishes inside a confident and dynamic woman. A lifelong beauty has flung her attentions well beyond the mercurial mirror frame, navigating her focus with her keen interest in the world around her. She's a champion of others, never flinching to put herself into the fray if the cause is just. She loves what she loves, and knows the value of good values. Beauty grown inward, is the fruition of a lifetime, a gentle but steely deliberate cultivation, and no happy accident of nature. Grateful for whatever good fortune she has mined, a true beauty owns her circumstance. Inward beauty's gaze grows outward, and leaves no small mark on the world at large.
How you define beauty alters the way beauty affects your world. Where you place your attention on what is beautiful, changes the way beauty is treated in your world.
Who and what are your definitions of beautiful?

ReplyDeleteBella, Can't thank you enough for this beautiful post. I truly believe that beauty radiates from the inside out and we has individual women have so much to share with others, its wonderful to be reminded to let that light shine.
