Forgotten Beauty Secrets: An Eye for the Foolish and the Wise Woman

If a woman were stripped of her outward appearances (nails, hair, makeup & clothing), what would be left of her?  You have heard that saying, Beauty is as beauty does.  Upon elimination of these things a womans essence is revealed in her conduct.   Does she know who she is and why she does what she does?  The quality of beauty rarely discussed, is the characteristics of a foolish or wise woman. Intelligence, Words, and Behavior.

Intelligence, or lack of it, can make or break a woman. A foolish woman does not want to learn anything because she knows everything.  Since she is wise in her own eyes, her life is full of trials and errors.A foolish woman does not learn from her mistakes.  On the other hand, a wise woman is teachable. She is a life time student on a mission to learn.  When her choices are unfavorable, she looks at herself first and what she could have done better. A wise woman learns from her mistakes. 
Words are like breath: they either stink or refresh their environment.  A foolish woman uses her words like a ruptured sewer pipe.  She criticizes to make herself look good and she likes to hear only herself talk.  However, a wise woman uses her words like a sought-after cure.  Her words are dispensed with the precise amount purposed to bring transformation to her listeners. A wise woman uses wisdom and knows when to keep quiet and when to share. 
A woman's behavior can adorn her like a clown suit or fine clothing.  A foolish woman will do anything to attract attention.  She is loud (or full of attitude) and uses her body, attire, and antics as if she is onstage.  In contrast, a wise woman does not have to attract attention because her grace, dignity, and integrity go before her.  Her quiet strength speaks volumes about the truth she possesses. She knows who she is and her value so she can be for real and be herself.  A wise woman is a guiding light. 

Beauty is more than just skin deep.  A foolish woman turns people off with total disgust no matter how outwardly stunning she is. A wise woman catches the attention of people regardless of whether she is unlovely by the worlds standards. 
Find the real you, by God's purpose, watch the use of your words, know when to listen and to speak. And in the end, beauty is as beauty does.
