In a recent study, men and women of all age demographics
were asked what makes someone beautiful. An overwhelming majority responded
that above all else, it was a great smile. Try it more often and you'll find
your own self-image improving as well.
You'll work less too. Research shows that it takes twice as
much energy to frown than to crack a smile. Next in the survey came
personality, sense of humour and approachability.
Don't let anyone tell you that beauty comes in a vial of
cream, syringe, tablet or a tube of lipstick. That $600 dress, though
flattering, does not make you attractive.
Rather, your spirit and passion are the true litmus for
beauty. As you successfully navigate your way through another hectic day of
workplace and household pressures, look into the mirror and see yourself as the
beautiful woman you already are.
And for an even clearer vision, stare into the eyes of your
loved ones and behold the difference that your presence in their lives has
made. Surround yourself with positive influences. Listen to your internal
voice. You are beautiful. You are desirable. You are unique. You are special!
