Woman in Hat by artist Abhilisha Singh
Who do you see when you look at the Woman in the Mirror? Through my readings on developing spiritual character and becoming an woman of substance I have learned that the beauty you feel on the inside does reflect the state of the inner being. Unhappiness, discontentment, and apathy toward life all show up on your face. I am working developing a countenance of kindness, grace and overall beauty.
When I look at the Definitive Women I admire such as Audrey Hepburn, Queen Rania of Jordan and Desiree Rogers, there is a vibrancy, a light in their eyes that proclaims the beauty within. What are doing to protect your inner light? If the light is even a small flicker you must nurture it with positive self talk and new knowledge to protect your self-value. I am learning how to do this, but the other voice, the Self has to be in harmony with the Conscience which is the Spirit of the Lord dwelling within you, in order to achieve true happiness.
The Definitive Woman knows how to step back from Life and retreat to the safe place inside herself and nurture the light so it is not extinguished. I do this through listening to beautiful, soothing and uplifting music, reading my Bible, listening to a ministry and reading articles on spiritual healing and encouragement. I never lose sight of my long term goals and I hold them close in my heart so I don’t forget. Life is a journey and no matter what I will be happy. If anything is worth fighting for, it is happiness and love. DL
