inner beauty

January 29, 2013

someone asked me for advice on inner beauty. specifically, they wanted to know how to acquire it.

i told her that, in my opinion, inner beauty isn’t something you can (or need to) acquire. it’s a quality of the soul. we already have it. we can’t gain or lose it. it just is.

our real work is to accept and believe and own that.

    when i think of inner beauty i always think of people like mother teresa.
    but i also think for the rest of us who will never be saintlike ~ it’s just an awareness of all the amazing beauty that’s around us ~ that … and a grateful heart.
    you share your love of beauty here every day. and that’s inner beauty to me too!

  3. Good answer. It is not something you “get”. It is something you “see”.

  4. accept, belive, and own it! Yes Yes Yes

  5. so, so true… the trick is often uncovering it and letting it shine..
