Beauties Only Skin Deep
Inner Beauty
I have been quite anxious to write about this topic and over the course of the last several weeks I have actually observed others from the mall to the gym and have concluded that beauty does begin within a person. You can purchase designer clothing and work-out until your buns are so hard they can bounce,you can diet for months until you feel thin and attractive but if you don't feel beautiful on the inside , you are certainly not going to be beautiful on the outside. So for those of you who do not feel as beautiful as the next person and it doesn't matter what your size, shape,or color you are it is about beginning with the inside the following are some tips to jump start your beauty.
Seven ways to bring out your inner beauty
1. Look in the mirror and say to yourself "I LOVE ME" it isn't vane it is the beginning of a wonderful process. Love yourself for who you are not what the media wants us to be. Alter your behavior towards others say something positive to them and not negative , this can boost your inner beauty.
2. Judge others on what they can do, not on what they look like. When you look at the superficial things, like clothing,hair and facial features you begin to develop a very shallow personality. Always treat people equal and fairly as one good turn deserves another.
3. Take the time to assist others who are in need ,volunteer ,help a neighbor ,listen to a friend and you will see your inner beauty begin to sparkle.
4. Conduct yourself with integrity at all times ,do not follow in your friends footsteps be yourself and hold your head high , you never know who is paying attention.
5. Smile at everyone you see as when you smile your inner beauty will radiate and others will see it as well.
6. Be enthusiatic about life as others will be atttracted by your positive and upbeat personality and will be drawn to you for who you are.
7. Always pay full attention to others and listen,listen, listen never interrupt as people enjoy when others listen to there needs and wants.
Finally as you work on these changes and continue to be a positive, energetic person your inner beauty will continue to shine through and through.

WHOA! That is another awesome one. I voted up!
This is so awesome, beautiful and motivational. I am in love with it. Bookmarking it for further use. You re super hot AEvans.
These are all very true...I am fat all my life but succeeded in in losing more than 40lbs, but just like what you said if you don't feel pretty inside, you can't appreciate it...I am bigger again and a little more I will be back to my heaviest, but I am happier deep inside..
I wont use any adjectives to describe this hub. Its beyond them. Simple and thought provoking."Look in the mirror and say to yourself "I LOVE ME", something each and everyone shld do. And you know wat Evans, Iam yet to understand y people are so busy impressing others rather than doin what they truly believe in. Keep up the good work.
It is true. Outside beauty fades with age but inside beauty is forever till eternity. Excellent Hub with excellent points. I am a fan.
Hi! AEvans
Enjoyed your hub. Indeed inner beauty and happiness and spreading of it to others gives an eternal never lasting enjoyment.
A,
Not many guys here, does that make me gay? "Not that there's anything wrong with that." Jerry Seinfeld.
What's to disagree with, it's all true. Except when you are single and "on the prowl." Looks are the first thing that attracts you, then the inside comes out. Good job.
This is actually very helpful and I am bookmarking it!
Great hub! Inner beauty radiates and shows on the outside. Sorry it took so long to get back to you, my internet was down.
Looking over your hubs, I decided to start reading this one first. I liked what you said in your profile about liking to help people. I guess that is the nurse in you and this hub reflects that. I'm retired from nursing, but also love helping people and continue to do it in other important ways. There is an old saying..."Beauty is as beauty does." You are obviously a beautiful person.
hI AEvans really well said.I can see you practice what you preach you are a lovely hubber inside and out.I really agree with what you have said as we talked about before.You have to learn to love who you are,and dish out all the crap inside yes it makes all the difference.If you feel beautiful it just shines out from within you.
thanks for bringing up the discussion. great hub.
Hub is great . It kind of relates to one of my hubs on the Dating site . Kinda.
Its simple to say Hoping the ones we fall in lovw with is as pretty on the inside as the outside.
You hit it on the mark with the mirror.
Thank you for that awesome guide for beauty of the mind, the spirit, and the body. As a retired photographer of Dance and the Arts...I have many times worked with a beautiful model when inner beauty was hiding or suppressed. No amount of training to pose would make them sensationally or timelessly beautiful. When someone approaches a mirror and says...I am OK and I am a creation of beauty...it seems to free them to be ever more beautiful to themselves and others. I hope my photography (and the mirror of my camera eye) also made more models feel deservedly worthy of God's creative beauty in the image they themselves project.
I sometimes wondered some actresses who were not so beautiful but still people are so attracted to them. I guess it's the diva like quality about them(Its that quality how they feel about themselves internally).
But again beauty also is about perception and which keeps changing from person to person. Sometimes it's heart of the person that makes them more attractive than what they physically look like. Anyway when nothing much is known about a person(esp guys) then they do look at physical looks (face/body) and nothing wrong with that (but certainly that shouldn't be the only thing to look at).
There is a famous quote about beauty: "Beauty intoxicates both the holder and beholder".
Great Hub!
There is a saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" If you can develop the mindset that you truly are beautiful, then the rest of the world will see you that way too.
Your mindset is infectous. What you believe about yourself is what others will believe about you as well.
AEvans,
Great Hub and obversations..i think the above comments said it all!

Beautiful hub. Beauty is indeed inside. Last week my daugther was talking to my 80 year old grandmother and I overheard her saying "you are so beautiful mama". And indeed my grandmother is a beatiful lady because she faces life with a courageous attitude always trying to be happy and make other people happy. It is her happiness and positive attitude that makes her so attractive
My friend's dad, Bill Coates, told me that beauty may only be skin deep, but ugly goes right to the bone.
Wow, great topic. Inner beauty. I wish more people could look past the surface. Surface beauty fades and wrinkles, sags and stretches. The inside is what doesn't change. I hear that it takes a sense of humor to grow old gracefully. That and a beautiful inside.

Wonderful, lovely hub! It's funny, but I've been realizing lately how bad the media is for my mind. All of the commercials, advertisements, movies, books, pictures, celebrities, etc. always seem to be portrayed as perfect and sometimes it's hard not to be intimidated and discouraged by that. But I do have real beauty inside that has nothing to do with whether or not I "measure up" to society's arbitrary standards of beauty. This hub seems to have come at just the right time!
Oh, but I did wonder about tip #2. Personally, I've been in a group of people who judged me for what I could do instead of what I looked like and it was only marginally better. The best thing to do--and I think this is more what you meant--is to look for the best and the beautiful in everyone we see.
Amazing hub, thank you, thank you, thank you!
WILL THERE IS A WAY
May we all look deep into the soul ,to see the beauty with in.Loved your hub
LOVE the hub! Brilliant subject to write about btw! Wish i could think of some interesting topics. Do you follow your own advice? Its so refreshing to hear someone with those ideas and values in today's society.

i agree with your comments....
its great hub....
i agree with your comments....
its great hub....
Wonderful Hub and a great topic.
It's true that you need to love yourself to really be able to love others and find your place in the world - imagine how different things could have been for the likes of Anna Nicole Smith, Karen Carpenter and others if they saw past what they perceived as imperfections, and saw themselves as beautiful and real people?
Great Hub, thank you for sharing! :)
excellent tips! I'm going to try to use them!
Outer beauty can be taken away in an instant. In a relationship it is only there for the first few meetings and then it is overlooked. Inner beauty is there to stay though, and it is the true beauty that must be looked for. It is something that shows in the eyes as they are the door to the soul. A relationship built on the attraction of the inner beauty will last, wheras one only on outer beauty seldom does.
I liked your phrase "your buns are so hard they can bounce" a rather amusing but accurrate description of some! I also loved the things you wrote, when i make the effort to smile at the other people in my path, it makes me feel better about me. All the things you wrote are obvious and yet how often do we actually stop to do them?
Very Good Hub. I wish If I can follow the same
Look in the mirror and say to yourself "I LOVE ME". Easier said than done somedays. :)
I really feel that true beauty is the way one conducts themselves, what they REALLY feel on the inside and how they treat others. If someone is absolutely gorgeous yet is constantly putting down others and only thinks of themselves, that person becomes very ugly to me. If someone is so-so looking or even ugly on the outside, yet respects themselves and others, they win my respect hands down. My fathers always asked me, "Why do you date such ugly guys when you can do so much better?" and I tell him, "Dad, its not what he looks like to me, its how he treats me and WHO he is, not what he looks like. THATS what makes him goodlooking to me." :)
Simple things make a huge difference. I definitely admire people who glow on the outside because they are very happy with themselves from within. Wish everyone was more positive like that.
Great psot.
I fully a agree.
I worte a post on how to love yor body last week. Read it.
I think what a person does to make the world a better place is what makes them beautiful. An example of a beautiful person is Greg Mortenson.

awesome advice. I posted a similar hub about getting ready to hit the beach this summer, and I think it is sad the lengths we have to go to convince ourselves we are beautiful because an industry and a hypnotized population tell us what beauty is. Keep up the hubs, they are powerful and very helpful.
I think that if you believe yourself to be beautiful or project beautiful qualities, you will be more beautiful to others. I really enjoyed this excellent hub.
Thanks for taking on this subject - I believe it deserves a much closer look. Particularly as women we know the truth in these words - and yet the world we live in can make it very difficult to put them in practice. As the mother of daughters I see the true conflict between understanding true beauty and wanting to have the confirmation from peers and society at large.
Good Hub. We are very much of the view that nobody will look lovely unless they begin from inside. Loving yourself and helping others are such core components of true beauty.
what you published is right. well said.
Finding that inner beauty. Great read!
I think people who are happy and healthy are the most beautiful ones. Great hub!
Your hub interested me because I am going through a problem with my skin that makes me question my beauty. Thanks for giving me practical tips on how to love myself just as I am. By the way, when is your birthday?
Beautiful words!!
Hopefully people can take on board (including me) these tips which can make the world a much better place for everyone!
Each of us is unique in the sight of God. God created us in His own image and likeness. We are all beautiful in His sight. We are also so precious that He gave His only begotten Son(Jesus Christ) for us to died in our place to pay the penalty of our sins. His love rescue us from eternal death. We are all precious and beautiful.
We are beautiful
Beauty.. True beauty is so simple as a smile. yes. you got it... When you smile at someone you almost force them to smile back.. its obligation that does it. But there at that moment you are the beauty in their life.
Isn't that different for each of us?
