They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But what is outer beauty compared to the beauty within you? Looks will fade over time, but you have a lifetime to perfect the person inside you. And this is a worthy goal that everyone should strive for. But what is inner beauty? How do we go about discovering it?
Inner beauty is nothing more than your morals and character. It is developed by good conduct and good habits. It is self-control. When others give in to their desires at every whim, a person with good character would resist these efforts if it would violate their moral code. Self-control and will power are the fundamental steps needed to become a person of great inner beauty. A love of learning and compassion for others is also required. Taken together, these four traits are the "pillars" of the temple of your character. They will hold you up as you become a more skilled student of inner beauty.
Do not be fooled by the vain delights of the flesh. Outer beauty will disappear with time, but inner beauty will last a lifetime with proper care and study. Be a person of inner beauty. Love yourself for who you are, and grow as a person. Transform yourself into a swan.
