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!

DID YOU ACTIVATE DAY 39'S MESSAGE? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 53

Today's message is not dissimilar to the message on Day 39 which was Trust Your Intuition.  If you have experience in trusting your intuition then you may already have confidence in making decisions.  If you still are not comfortable relying on your intuition, then you might want to think about two words that have become part of the vernacular.

The words are "gut feeling" because when we are about to make a decision to do something or to not do something, most of us get a feeling in the pit of our stomach as to whether or not we are making the right choice.  Some people listen to this feeling.  Some opt to ignore the feeling and may regret it at a later date.

Gut feelings and intuition are synonymous in my mind.  Have there been times in your life when you opted to not listen to your intuition?  Did you regret it later?  Please leave your comments below as I and others will be interested in learning from your experience.

Today's message is:

                                     

LISTEN TO YOUR GUT

IF NOT YOU, WHO? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 36

What is your hope?  What is your dream?  What is your goal?  What is your passion?  What is your need?

Don't sit around waiting for someone else to fulfill your hopes and dreams, to achieve your goals, to fuel your passion or meet your needs.  Even if you just take the first step that is progress, and then a second step, and then a third, etc.  Have confidence in yourself, and believe you can do it.

Today's message is:

Make it happen!
