TODAY'S QUOTE:
"If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price."...Anonymous
Oh boy, this quote is a scary kinda true. How we see ourselves is a mirror of our own creation. When others look at us they only see whatever we project. Nowadays folks pick and choose quickly, we just don't have the time or energy to excavate relationships. Sometimes first impressions are all the chance we ever have, once a mind is decided its no easy task to alter. Lots is lost on misconceptions, putting more forethought into our reflection guarantees an unobstructed view.
Our appearance is only a small part of the whole picture. Attitude matters more than attire. A snappy walk, twinkling eyes, and a smile outshine diamonds. We can't always be assured of the best wardrobe, but how we dress our face is certainly under our control.
If you were a product how would you market yourself? Same premise with people... put it at eye level and dress it for success. Be approachable... Be real... Be positive. You can test how well you're doing in the faces all around. Do expressions change when others gaze in your direction? If so in what way are they altered? If you don't like their reflection all that much, soften what they see and perhaps they'll return the favor. Think about it... Let it ride... Then YOU decide!!!

I have tested this very subject!! It is amazing what a simple smile to a stranger can do. I went into a grocery store and smiled at a strangers as we passed by each other. She returned my smile and I decided to see how far it would go. She walked away with a smile and smiled at another person she passed, I did the same, as the time going up and down the aisles of the stores progressed so did the number of smiles on the faces I passed.
