#5- Dress for Success

O.k, I confess!  Back in High School I spent a small fortune on clothes.  Not just any old clothes, but clothes from Chess King.  Confession #2: I’m married now and shop very little for myself.  Looking back, I realize dressing up was all about improving my personal image.

Looking good is about more than how you look on the outside.  You can put lipstick and mascara on the outside, but your inner self will always shine through.  Right?  We’re to let our lights shine before others so that they will glorify our Father in Heaven.

That’s why it’s so important to begin remodeling on the inside as well as fixing up the outside.  If we’re not careful to get rid of unattractive attitudes, thoughts and actions, they will pop up through the cracks like weeds through asphalt.

Today when I dress, I’m thinking about more than what I should wear.  I’m more concerned with how I’m going to treat the person I’m having breakfast with rather than what is in style.  Afterall, I don’t want to be ‘all show and no go’.  Besides, long after you’re gone, people will forget what you wore but they’ll never forget how you made them feel.
