Recipe for Inner Beauty

Ever hear of “beauty lies in the eye of the beholder”?

Pause a moment to really understand this phrase…for it is a universal truism.

Beauty is uniquely personal. It is what we deem beautiful.

I will grant you that society does play an influence on our tastes when it comes to external beauty, however when we think of inner beauty we go more towards the spirit; a dimension that truly can’t be seen yet manifests itself when we are in a state of grace. We radiate. We glow. We are beautiful.

Here’s my recipe for inner beauty:

1 ton of unselfishness (may substitute with giving)

½  ton of confidence

½  ton of awareness

½ ton of humor

½ ton of ability to let go

¼ ton self-discipline

Infinite smiles

A bushel of hugs

A peck of kisses

A pinch of charm

Mix above ingredients well.

When combined well add:

1 ton of gratitude

1 ton of faith

10 tons love

Serving: 1 lifetime

 

Enjoy
