Your look depends upon your outlook

Looking young with age is a losing battle, yet fiercely fought because the ever increasing ads on health and beauty products would make us believe otherwise. A deep sense of insecurity is sowed in the minds of young ones as they age. And, a never ending chase for the illusive young-look takes precedence over everything else in life. However, the fact remains that this chase is futile. We all end up with the faces we deserve.

Our thoughts shape our personalities and are mirrored in our looks. Consequently, what we think influences how we look. Persons, whose thoughts never rise above the level of material possessions and sensual enjoyment, always worry about their looks. You can never find peace in such company — no matter how handsome or beautiful they may look. On the other hand, persons whose thoughts rest on compassion and co-operation reflect contentment. It is a delight to be in their company — no matter how they look. Maturity of thoughts adds grace to the age. Such people, despite age, remain youthful in their outlook. Lines on their faces truly tell tales of hardship, sorrow, grief, happiness and triumph. Having lived a life of fulfilment, they die with childlike smile on their lips. History immortalizes such faces with pride. So, let's watch our thoughts more than our looks.
