The Magic of Looking Your Best Every Day
There is something magical about getting ready every day. Just yesterday I ran some errands after leaving work and a woman approached me as I was leaving Target. She complimented my red shoes and struck up a conversation. She asked me if I had to get dressed up for work, and I replied that I didn’t have to, but I liked to. We discussed the importance of looking one's best, and she inquired if I was open to other work opportunities.
There is something magical about looking your best every day. You are showing the world, actively, who you are, what you are capable of. Signaling that you are extraordinary. Opportunities open up that might not have otherwise. People enter your life who would otherwise have remained strangers.
We owe this to ourselves. We owe it to ourselves to represent ourselves fully to our community, our comrades in this journey. Otherwise, we fail ourselves at each connection, each opportunity missed to express ourselves and fulfill our purpose. Never stop on this journey, this path towards greatness, towards our greatest versions. Never stop working and leveling up.
