Modesty

“We must practice modesty, not only in our looks, but also in our whole deportment, and particularly in our dress, our walk, our conversation, and all similar actions.” —  St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Doctor of the Church

Guys struggle with lust, women struggle with vanity and the desire be noticed. Both have to bend a bit and practice self-mastery and modesty for virtue to be lived out, not forgetting that while beauty attracts, holiness and virtue inspire! Focus more on your inner beauty and character!
