Is beauty only skin deep?
In my opinion that depends on a few things…
One is… what your definition of “beauty” is
Two… are you living as your authentic self?
If you are only talking of physical beauty then I would agree beauty is only skin deep.
Lets look at the other option though.
Have you ever met someone who’s appearance is simply stunning but then they open their mouth and you aren’t as attracted anymore?
Did you ever have a crush on some hot movie star but later found out some information about their personal life and you lost all interest?
Or on the flip side have you ever met some super average “someone” but when you give them half a chance you realize how much you enjoy being around them?
Have you ever judged someone you just met and put them in a box but once you see how they actually live their life you are forced to give them a second chance?
Have you ever seen the movie “Shallow Hal” with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jack Black?
It’s about this guy (Hal) who is always scoping out the girls but only goes for the “drop dead” gorgeous ones and is continually getting turned down.
As the movie progresses Hal develops some character as a person and as a result falls in love with a 300 pound woman (Rosemary) because of her inner beauty.
The great part about this movie is when they show Rosemary from Hal’s perspective you see a very different picture then when they show you Rosemary from Hal’s friend’s perspective.
The point being Hal saw Rosemary’s real “inner beauty” and therefore his whole image of her changed for the better.
Everyone… including YOU… has inner beauty that goes to the very core of their being.
The question is… are you letting it out?
Are you allowing your inner beauty to express itself… to grow… to develop… to relate… to live?
If you aren’t then you are robbing yourself of a life of freedom and truth…
If you aren’t you are robbing others of knowing how wonderful the “real” you is.
When you are living as your authentic self you will no longer need the approval of others so you will be able to live carefree and unhindered.
When you are living as your authentic self people won’t be able to help notice and appreciate your inner beauty.
Your inner beauty is there… if you haven’t already found it then get looking!
