Have you ever looked at the face of people who are negative? It seems that the phrase "sour puss" was meant for them? They tend to have more worry lines on their face and wear a permanent scowl.

How about the people who carry that inner light in them of happiness and joy? The phrase "sunny smile" or "bright disposition" seems to fit them. They walk into a room and somehow it immediately brightens with goodness and purpose.

But why am I talking about attitudes in a beauty article???

I believe that our inner thoughts can affect our outer beauty. After all, beauty is not only about how you look in the physical. It is about how you make others feel. Experiencing beauty in others often involves perceiving them to be in balance and harmony with nature. When we view beauty or what we think as beautiful, we tend to feel a sense of well-being. All is right with the world. Beauty is a characteristic of HOW a person makes you feel. (Photo:via Pixabay)

Ideal beauty is meant to be admired. We all have our ideas of what is beautiful in art, nature and people. We have the phrase, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but there seems to be a standard through the centuries for what exactly is beautiful.

Various traits that have stood the test of time, which as far as viewing people can sometimes include:

• Symmetry.
• Lacking Flaws
• The absence of genetic or acquired defects
• Well-proportioned bodies and young, smooth skin

From what I have found to be true, beauty not only consists of our outer features but also includes that inner personality and intelligence as well as our grace and morality. Elegance is also important in determining beauty to me. People who are intelligent, elegant, and graceful generate a sense of beauty on the outside.

Beauty also presents a standard for comparison and can generate feelings of jealousy and inferiority. We spend millions of dollars in this country alone, trying to be more beautiful. Some of us forget our own beautiful traits while only focusing on others unattainable traits. This leads to misery in my mind. Each one of us has a desire to "fit in" and being beautiful is one way to be popular. Think of this. Does beauty on the outside mean beautiful on the inside? Does beauty on the inside mean you're beautiful on the outside? You decide. My life is spent seeking both inner and outer beauty. How about you?
