Don’t be eye candy, be a soul food
The phrase above is sufficient to explain its inner meaning of it. If I have to describe it in the easiest way, I would say that one should not be beautiful from the outside, but the qualities within you should make you beautiful. One should be beautiful from the inside. For example, if we go to some candy shop, we go crazy seeing the array of colourful candies. It is so eye-catching. We buy it and satisfy our immediate cravings. The sugar and calories that are hidden behind that one candy will not be good for your health.
The same goes for the personal character of any human being. We should not only work to improve our physical appearance but should also put efforts to improve our inner qualities which should reflect in our character. We should work on our personalities so that our outer and inner qualities should be in synchronization. Since childhood, we have been taught at home that, in spite of any hardship you are facing or struggling with an internal dilemma, we should be physically presentable in terms of beauty.
Physical beauty is short-lived, it fades with time but internal qualities will stay with you forever, it grows with time. So it is better to be a soul food rather than being eye candy. It is not easy to develop such a thing overnight, rather we should work on our personality by taking small steps each day. Every human being is born with certain characteristics and some they acquire during their lifespan by practising regularly. It can be easily attained if one trains their mind.
To train your mind, it is necessary to know your mind first. People try to adopt new habits for example making new resolutions, kicking out a bad habit, doing something with full concentration. But mostly our concentration is broken. It should come from nature because as it is said that the untrained mind is our enemy but if your mind is trained it will be your friend. To develop such character, one has to fight with their own bad habits. Those who overcome are the conquerors.
To be soul food, your mind should be trained in such a way that it reflects your wisdom and your inner strength. No matter how old are you or whether you are a man or a woman, everyone should try to be soul food. If you become a soul food then it will reflect your outer appearance. Then in the true sense, you will be eye candy in others eyes. So introspect yourselves and ask whether you are truly soul food or eye candy?
