Can You Be A Goddess

Beauty in the 90's means following a complex, and, let's face it, almost unachievable formula of absolute self-control. Yoga for the perfect mind, a carb-free diet for the perfect body, 8 glasses of water for the perfect face, no smoking, no drinking, no drugs, more exercise, more meditation, etc etc. Anyone capable of this level of self-mastery deserves to be beautiful. Yet often they are not. It is a well-known fact that those who diet too much become snappy and aggressive.Beauty in the 90's means following a complex, and, let's face it, almost unachievable formula of absolute self-control.

This constant self regulation turns people into obsessives, control freaks. Not allowing yourself to let go, to enjoy the moment, will turn you into an emotional time-bomb just waiting for the time when you go off with a bang. Is there a key to inner an outer beauty? How many times have we seen that unlikey couple; the gorgeous hunk, the successfull younger man with a seemingly unattractive woman at his side - how on earth did she get him, what on earth is her secret?
Confidence? Great personality? Large bank account? Maybe she was just being herself: and her inner beauty has the power to shine through on all levels. Inner beauty is how alive you are, the magic of how you see the world, your uniqueness.
What makes you beautiful could be your vivacity, your infectious laugh, or your depth and stillness. When you are in that space - that is when you attract others, no matter how you seem on the outside. This is because people respond much more to energies than they do to appearances. Of course, in the first few minutes height, weight and other visual cues are important - but what counts for the many minutes, months, and years later is the beauty of who you are - flowing and expressed openly. Not covered up behind a facade of the 'perfect girl'
Never forget that when a person is looking at you, really looking at you, they are looking for the real you. And unless you are looking up at them from the pages of a magazine article of from a TV screen then they are not just looking but feeling you too, sensing you. And, at the end of the day, most people would rather spend there life with someone who not only looks good, but makes them feel good too.
