In turn, the power of the energy one radiates is a direct reflection of one’s beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about one’s self (the inner world) and the external world.

When I started practicing as a plastic surgeon, I had a quotation by George Santayana inside one of my brochures:

“Beauty as we feel it is something indescribable; what it is or what it means can never be said.”
— George Santayana

We feel energy, we don’t think it. And, most of the time, we don’t see it, at least not consciously.

These days, I no longer practice plastic surgery; I’m making my mark on the world by helping conscious entrepreneurs to live their lives with greater freedom, so they contribute to others and the world with greater impact, and ultimately, enjoy a richness of prosperity that they can’t help but share with others. However, my experience in medicine has served me well in providing a foundation for appreciating the inner beauty in others, as well as in myself.

The inner beauty we sense emanates from unconditional love, the greatest love of all.

Say we’re at a social gathering, and a stranger walks into a room. A common reaction upon sensing the movement of that person entering the room, is to glance at that person. In that instant, uncontrollably, we make a myriad of judgments and assessments about that person…

…do we like how the person is dressed? Is the person attractive to us? How does the person walk? Is the person physically fit or grossly out of shape? Is this a person we’d like to speak with, or stay away from?

Our rational, intellectual minds take us down a road of sensing that person’s physical presentation, our intuitive, inner guidance system picks up on that person’s energetic presence.

In my experience and observation, the power of one’s energetic presence influences and alters their external physical beauty. And, it impacts the longevity of that beauty.

I’ve seen unhappy women with attractive physical features age prematurely, beyond the help of cosmetic surgery. And, I’ve seen optimistic, self-confident, and yes, radiant, women with attractive physical features maintain their physical beauty beyond what one might expect for their chronological years.

And, have you ever seen a physically attractive person, then gotten to know that person and realized that this person has a toxic personality? And, with that realization, didn’t that person become less beautiful, less physically attractive to you?

Conversely, have you ever gotten to know someone with plain physical features who becomes beautiful in your eyes, because the true nature of their being shine through in who they are being and in their acts of love and kindness?

One more thing: Is physical beauty impacted by diet and exercise? Of course. What one eats, one becomes… Put in good fuel, and the body responds correspondingly.

But diet, and what happens after one eats that food, is affected by….

.. you guessed it: One’s beliefs, thoughts, and feelings.

It’s an inescapable law of the Universe.

As Ernest Holmes said, “Change your thinking, change your life.”

Okay, I’m off topic here, as I usually write about conscious entrepreneurship, but I couldn’t resist.

I hope I’ve given you something to chew on; now go write your book!
