Define beauty. Do you look in the mirror and like what you see? Do you see yourself as beautiful? Beauty in our society has many various forms. Beauty encompasses confidence, strength, healthy habits, and values. I almost view beauty as the definition of your inner peace, your true happy self, whereby you look in the mirror, and despite any imperfections in your eyes, you still feel satisfied with your image. This is beauty to me.
Why is there so much pressure on perfection within yourself in our societies? Does everyone, men, and women, strive to be the very best human being they can be for themselves or others? What do you need to achieve this beauty? In keeping your mind and body healthy, you are often bombarded by different methods, products, exercise routines, creams, perfect remedies, crash diets, cleansing routines, and beauty covers’. Do these help you form that ideal image to increase your inner strength, or is it through sheer will and determination that you nurture the body you have given to give you this beauty?
What qualities does beauty have, in your opinion? Thinking about this, I visualize myself and my best mates, my large eyes, my long legs, my thick hair… but I don’t feel defined by my appearance. Beauty, therefore, would be one’s perception. Remarkably beauty is determined by different cultures and societies differently. I love this about beauty, and the diversity that it brings to our realities.
As I get older, I realize that my skin isn’t as smooth as it used to be, and seeing this in the mirror encourages me to find a cleansing cream that hydrates and keeps my skin moist. I also have very thick hair, which tends to go unruly, so I am conscious of my hair appearing matted to the general public, so I look for an anti-frizz hair hydrator. When I go out with my loved ones, I love to dress up and look my best in people; I still put eye shadow on and enhance my eye color and shape with cosmetics. All of this increases my confidence, which helps me define my perception of beauty. Remarkably I believe beauty can be achieved by everyone in any society, both intellectually and physically. People’s perspectives and stereotypes need to be challenged to accept all forms of beauty definitions.
Beauty truly begins within yourself, and when you’ve reached your inner happiness, you will infect others with your positive nature and appearance. We are all attracted to confidence within a person, to someone willing to try their very most complex, and to those who inspire greatness. Be your best self for beauty. Find your oest image and look for things that will help you achieve that best image for your oeauty and happiness.
