What is Beautiful?

I have learned that beauty is a relative term. My husband thinks I am beautiful. The media would not consider me beautiful. But then, my husband does not think that a 5'5" woman who weights 98lb is beautiful.

I think that the media has helped us change the definition of beautiful. For one thing, it is no longer linked to youth. There are many beautiful women over 50 who hold the star roles in movies.

I think the most important thing to beauty is not what you see in the mirror, but what you think about yourself. A beautiful person starts on the inside. Yes, a certain look may open doors, but that person usually ends up being used. That is not beauty. True beauty is the power - not the pawn.

Most women lose their beauty because they stop thinking of themselves as desirable or beautiful. You are not what you eat. You are what you feel.
