Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
“Beauty” and “beautiful” doesn’t just describe the outward appearance of people, places, and things. It also describes inner characteristics. Outer beauty may fade with time, but inner beauty can only grow. It shows in the thoughts, attitudes, and emotions we feel in ourselves and sense in others. It is a necessary part of our spiritual progress.
Beauty becomes a part of our lives when we learn to like who we really are. It is an “outward show of an inner glow.”
Beauty also shows itself through good-will, gratitude, balance, and grace.
I need to remember that building inner beauty through humility, love, gratitude, and service is a necessary part of my spiritual growth.
