A woman's beauty

    Beauty. Everyone probably has their own definition of this word. A layman would say beauty means something that which is attractive and pleasing to the eye and this would in most case mean he or she is talking about the physical qualities of a person. That's one angle to it. 
    Now I've done my own research and frankly 78% of people today see a woman's beauty as that which she possesses, her facial looks, her body structure, her wardrobe and so many other physical items. I'm not saying they are totally wrong but it is sad that one would look out for only these things in a woman today to count her as being beautiful. 
    A woman's beauty should not be limited to her looks alone. There are various things to look out for in a woman before concluding she's beautiful. Character contributes to your beauty. As a woman, your character should speak for you. You might have the most radiant of faces and best of wardrobes but all these are nothing with a bad character. You are only as beautiful as you think you are when you posses good characters. 
    Humility. Humility is very attractive. Trust me, there's nothing more repelling than a woman who is proud. I know this because I'm a lady too. Try it, be humble instead of proud, it's really not that tedious. I mentioned this because these days, we find pride more common among ladies who have good looks and body structures. As a lady, all of that is nothing if you are proud. It automatically makes you repelling. 
    Kindness, be kind to people. Don't be rude, although I know people will want to get on your nerves from time to time because you are good looking and all of that but this does not give you the go ahead to be rude to people. Beauty is not in the face, it's a light that shines from within your heart. There's no wrong a kind heart would do, it only makes you as a woman much more attractive and beautiful. Know how to handle annoying people and pests in such a way you avoid being rude to them. 
    I can go on and on talking about what makes a woman beautiful asides her physical looks but why not try the ones I've talked about already. Beauty is how you feel inside and it reflects in your eyes. As a woman, you can only be truly beautiful not only to the public eye but to yourself which is the most important thing when you start minding what's coming from your heart more than your physical looks. And remember, people are like glass-stained windows. They shine and reflect in the sun, but when the darkness comes, you can only see their true beauty if there's a light shining from within.
