HOW GOOD DO YOU THINK YOU LOOK? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 146

We live in a society that used to be very concerned with looks and appearance.  People used to "dress up" to go to work, school, church, meetings, and events.  Now we seem to have become a nation of slobs which I think has contributed to the demise of so many of the wonderful independent retailers we used to enjoy. Celebrities dress up to walk the red carpet, and people interested in fashion dress for success.  The rest of the people not so much.

It all starts when a person decides to have confidence in his or her looks.  We all look different, but each one of us brings something good to the world even if we do not think so.  It is time to take a good look at yourself in the mirror.  Is your hair combed?  Are your teeth clean?  Is your skin clean and fresh looking? If you wear make up, are you consistent about using it daily?  Do you shave every day?  Do you need a haircut?  Are your clothes clean and pressed?  Do you live in t-shirts, jeans or baggy shorts?  Those items of apparel can have a place in your wardrobe but not for daily use. You don't have to have a huge wardrobe, and you can shop at thrift stores if need be to find appropriate outfits for whatever your activities are.  Once you start paying attention to your appearance you will be amazed at the things that will happen for you.

If you want to make your mark, achieve your dreams, pursue your goals, gain the attention of influential people, be admired, and be an example for others to emulate, then you first must decide that you are who you are, and no matter what happens on each day depending on your gender tell yourself:

I AM BEAUTIFUL!

OR

I AM HANDSOME!

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 34

You are not always encouraged to be proud of yourself.  Some people equate pride with arrogance or conceit as in the old saying, "Pride goes before a fall."  My opinion is that there are many ways to be proud of yourself without thinking or acting as if you are more important than others or feeling superior to them.

Your integrity, behavior, appearance, attitude, compassion, empathy, accomplishments, and generosity are facets of life in which you can and should take pride in yourself.  If everyone did,  the world would be quite a different place.

Today's message is:

Have pride in yourself.
