It takes a lot to be a woman. And even more to be a lovely one. It’s not so much of her
appearance, but what goes on in her heart and in her mind.
Lovely is defined as ‘charming or exquisitely beautiful’,
‘having a beauty that appeals to the heart or mind as well as the eye, as a
person or a face’, ‘being delightful and highly pleasing’ and finally, ‘of a
great moral or spiritual beauty’.
I like everything about loveliness. Let’s shed a little joy
around us and here’s how:
1) Be generous with your smile
Smiles are irresistible, contagious and fun.
Usually, the more smiles you give, the more you receive. Smiles express
openness, pleasure and create a bond with those around us. A lovely person
usually smiles first and encourages the other person to smile too.
2) Care about others
A lovely person asks someone “How are you?”
and she means it by listening to his/her answer. Her words are kind and
thoughtful. She makes people feel comfortable and relaxed. She always put
herself in other person’s shoes and she thinks from the other person’s
perspective. For example, instead of teasing a friend who’s having crab/lobster
for the first time, she empathizes and offers to help at least by making her
friend feels little better by sharing her own first experience with shellfish.
3) Be disciplined in mind and heart
A lovely person always has conscious
of her own act and thinking. She guards herself so well that she is organized, never
late, does her best, she keeps her words, not allowing herself to fuss over
small things, and she has good manners.
4) Never ever be arrogant
A lovely person does not assume
herself is of higher position than the others. She never thinks that she is
entitled to higher privileges etc. She treats everyone the same regardless of
their financial status, fame or social power. Even when faced with nastiness,
she will not respond it with rudeness.
5) To be more giving
A lovely person is always giving in terms of
their time, kind words, affection, encouragement and sharing of her belongings.
