A person is beautiful on the inside when they have accepted their own limitations, but realize that they have something of value to offer the world.

It’s about what that person does for others and how they make those people feel.

There is a fire within them that has a love and zest for life.

There is a desire and a drive to learn and grow as a person.

A readiness to learn from past mistakes and an intent to do better in the future.

A person who is beautiful on the inside is constantly working to improve themselves.

They don’t settle on how they feel today or who they believe that they are today.

They are striving to be better.

This is a person who knows that they have flaws.

They are aware of those flaws.

They know that they aren’t going to be right about everything and are prepared to succumb to that lesson when appropriate.

There is a true love of oneself that most people who are beautiful on the inside possess.

It is not a conceited love nor a love that is fueled by their exterior beauty.

It isn’t a love that is buttressed by how much money they have, how upscale their neighborhood is, how well-educated they are, or how many friends they have on social media.

It is the love that comes with knowing that they are an individual, and like any other individual, they have good and bad qualities.

They are not complacent with being who they are, knowing that there is much to learn in life.

They know that they can learn a lot from others from all works of life, backgrounds, cultures and socioeconomic statuses.

You see, a person who is beautiful on the inside never believes that they are above learning from people who don’t have as much money, education, or social status as they have.

They understand that they are human.

In being human, they have flaws and shortcomings, as everyone else does.

They want to let people know that they see them as an equal.

They are no better than they are.

After all, they have to grapple with life, as they do.

Having a whole lot of money doesn’t mean that they don’t have bad days and personal demons that they have to deal with.

A whole lot of academic degrees on their home office walls doesn’t mean that they don’t have doubts about where they are going in life and how they relate to people.

Having millions of followers on social media doesn’t mean that they don’t have days when they get upset about something someone said to them on social media, or that they never worry about never finding a compatible partner to date.

Yes, a person who is beautiful on the inside knows that they are as human as anyone else, regardless of what they have achieved in life.

That eagerness to accept one’s flaws and be a beacon of compassion to the world is what makes someone beautiful on the inside.
