Happy weekend everyone!!! It's the end of a beautiful week and looking forward to an awesome week starting tomorrow.

It has been a wonderful moment reading different articles with beautiful views and opinions about BEAUTY. Thanks to @JonicaBradley who has given the opportunity for us to share the same prompt word in different angles. This truly shows that every writer is endowed in all areas of bringing out their creativity in which I am about to bring out mine. I don't want to be left out and I promise you that you are gonna enjoy reading this article of mine. I have my own views on beauty which I believe can't be new to many of us here. But before I go into it, let me share this funny live scenario with you.


When we were very young and in my junior secondary school days, we do go to our hometown to celebrate Christmas with Granny. So everyone of us would gather together. I think I was the ugliest of all children then because of how they see me and I decided to accept my fate. When my elder sister and our nephew wants to go out to play, they will also go along with my younger sister and when I begged them to follow them, they will say I can't go with them because I am not beautiful and I am so ugly that I might chase away guys from them. I will be so sad and would lock myself indoor and start crying. This went on for years until I graduated from senior school and I started taking care of myself up till today. I am now someone who would always love to go out with them and most times, my elder sister would want me to follow her anywhere.


Beauty to some people means making up, looking good, buying beautiful clothes, shoes and a bag to match. Swaying their beautiful curves around guys etc. In fact, we were meant to know that women's beauty lies in her hairstyle which I believe it is very true.

This is why I always make sure to make my hair look good all the time.

But is that where beauty is limited to? Like our beautiful faces, new clothes, shoes, big figure 8, body shape etc.

To other people, they believe that beauty lies in your attitude, character etc which I also strongly believe that it is so true. This is why I have come up with the acronym L.I.C.G.I.

L stands for Loyalty

I stands for Integrity

C stands for Character

G stands for Giving

I stands for Intelligence.


LOYALTY

Loyalty cannot be blueprinted. It cannot be produced on an assembly line. In fact, it cannot be manufactured at all, for its origin is the human heart- the center of self-respect and human dignity. It is a force which leaps into being only when conditions are exactly right for it — and it is a force very sensitive to betrayal.

Maurice Franks

I love this beautiful quote from Maurice. Loyalty can't be bought anywhere but can be done from "human heart" which I found to be Beauty of a person. Loyalty involves two ways which are love and betrayal. Someone you ever trusted so much that you gave your loyalty to can eventually stab you at the back and you will be surprised you have been betrayed. The person chose to be that way but a true person who loves you will never jeopardize his or her relationship with you and would go the extra length to be loyal to you is what is called TRUE BEAUTY.


INTEGRITY

Integrity is an act of saying or spilling the truth no matter what happens. Doing the right thing even when people aren't there to see you. This is another beauty of a human being when you are being sincere in all ways and will never compromise your sincerity to ruin your reputation in life. Either People are seeing you or not, you choose to maintain and stand on your Integrity is also TRUE BEAUTY.


CHARACTER

You can never buy character anywhere. The only foundations to Character are commitment, love, honesty and compassion to others. You are the controller of your Character and it is the good thing you exhibit out there that makes you beautiful.


GIVING

I really love what Anne Frank said about giving. She said "No one has ever become poor by giving". True beauty is in Giving. I have always said how blessed I have been when I give to people.

My sister told me days ago how someone told her I have a good heart because of my love to giving out to people. I still don't know who said it because she refused to tell me. I want you to know that you have a beautiful heart when you give unconditionally without waiting to receive back in return.

When you give to people, do not remember it. But when you receive from them, always remember and never forget. Beauty can never go beyond that.


INTELLIGENCE

https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/intelligence-quotes

What is the essence of your beauty when your brain is empty? What is the use of Brazilian hair on your head, different se* styles on bed, all kinds of kissing and you do not have anything upstairs? 😄 Or what is the beauty when you can't even defend yourself after graduating from the University? I really pity those who thinks beauty is in their facial appearances alone and not what they can offer to improve themselves or others. Your intelligence must be high enough for anything you do.

I can tell you that even if you are ugly, which I know God didn't created us in a bad way. But you are ugly when you aren't intelligent. A woman or man who has everything including your intelligence skill has Beauty in it.


I could go on and on but I only limited my own definition of Beauty with the acronym L.I.G.C.I and I hope I have tried my best though.

This is a prompt word by @JonicaBradley and rules aren't difficult but simple if you are interested in joining us.

Thanks for reading

For me, I don't think beauty lies solely on the hair style of a lady which of course is the general view of all or most ladies out there hence I believe in the popular saying that " beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder", then permit me to say that beauty to us all mean a lot of things and if you ask me, then I'd tell you that beauty is what that makes up a woman on the inside and I'm pretty sure of this claim of mine hence you are the beautiful one here given your too many adorable attitude I've witnessed overtime. Good day!

That's so bad. Saying and acting that way to a young kid can cause lot of damages to him/her. Thank God you're a strong lady who never let others opinion determine her happiness. You've given the true definition of what "True beauty" is.

Indeed the beauty is not fully the outer appearance like you have said but beauty is the true nature of who you are within you!

You have wrote an amazing article about beauty with, and the acronym you used explain everything (L.I.G.C.I) , I willbput this in my right hand.

Everyone is beautiful, it depends on how you place yourself in front of people. Ma'am you're a beautiful lady with a beautiful soul. And I must say that you possess all those virtues you mentioned.

What is beauty with intelligence indeed, this last one caught me and this is true but some people are always concerned about the physical but and they neglect the inner beauty. That's the mistake they are making.

Tapped some knowledge from this.

I wonder how you must have felt as a kid when you were told not to follow cos you were ugly. I found it a bit funny but you were strong not to allow those words get to you.

Hmm, that attitude shown to you would have gone a long way if it was someone else. Beauty for me is actually what you have in the head of and not the physical appearance that most people see. Why will I marry a lady that can't help my children out with their assignment while I am at work or a lady that can proffer solutions to my children problem but wait until I arrive? I will never do that. When what she knows to do best is party and make up , I can't ooo. My lady must have sth upstairs and that's beauty for me

It's undeniable that we all look at physical aspect of things initially. The more we know someone or something more, that's when we learn to appreciate more or not :) However, it's up to us to see the beauty in everything.

Almost everyone especially the mature ones have shifted their definition of beauty from pretty face to pretty mind. Fair skin, pretty face and sexy body definition of beauty only applies to the ones whose views and perceptions aren't broad as ours yet.

It is funny to me how beauty end with just a facial look for lots of people when there is more to it.

Everything you have referred to as true beauty is correct, and I must say you did a great job with that. If people look beyond just the makeup and makeover, they will realize those are temporary beauty. The real beauty lies within.

Beauty for me is cleanliness inside and outside. Yeah you are pretty but you don't know how to wash your underwear or clothes haha yeah your pretty but your attitude smells so stingy! I'd rather to have not-so-pretty face than to be dirty inside and out. Hehe

Beauty lies in your character but Mott your outer look. Although, you must look neat, which is also part of your character and make your character the best.

Been loyal can make your beauty show forth. This can also go along way to bring out the great stuff of greatness in you.

Remove pride from your way. Pride is not part of beauty but can cut your beauty to the lowest level.

Make a good character today and your mode will be beautiful and you shall be called beauty.
