Your Self-Made Fashionable Image
Your Self-Made Fashionable Image by Gerri D Smith
“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whether you are a professional secretary, a nurse, a vice-president in a large corporate organization; a creative arts director, or an attorney, as a total individual, you must always strive for self- improvement. Your personal image is what sets you apart from all others. Your image speaks for itself and has a lot to do with the way others see you.
Imagine how good it feels when others treat you with respect. When you extend kindness and courtesy it returns to you. Showing consideration in your dress and appearance is just the beginning of your self-made fashionable image.
Know yourself. How do you feel when you are having a good day? How about a bad day? Whenever you feel tempted to criticize another person just because you are having a bad day -- today, tomorrow, or next week-- realize that criticisms are like homing pigeons, they always come back to peck you.
Take charge of your life. Knowing what you want to achieve, and setting out to fulfill even a minor goal leads you down the right road to a fulfilling life. Have courage. Making the leap and going for your goals requires an act of strength and faith.
And in order to achieve your desired result, your goal must be worthy. Do not become discouraged when a specific goal isn’t successful. It takes lots of practice to get it right. The important point is that you acted.
Work smarter, not harder. Be mindful of your dress and appearance. Be more efficient, not faster, and always strive to be better, and avoid carelessness. Do not dwell on past mistakes whether in your manner of dressing, your manner of speaking, or in your striving to reach your goals. Just be aware of what you did incorrectly and learn from it.
Then avoid repeating the same mistake the next time. Try not to blame others for your faults. No one else is responsible for your actions--not what you feel, not what you do, or what you say, or how you react in any situation. Take each new day as it is given to you. Learn to create a pleasant experience for yourself and for others.
Accept and initiate change. If something isn’t working, find a better way to complete the task--don’t give up. Doing tasks the same old way may work for a time, but if there’s a way it can be done more efficiently, try a different method. After all, there is no right way and no wrong way to do a task….it may just be whatever feels right to you.
Respect for yourself and others. In building your fashionable self-made image, take charge of your life, and work smarter to make what you wish happen. Develop good habits. Find other ways to improve your lifestyle.
Your image improves when you make wise choices, dress your best, practice good habits, and trust your instincts. And don't forget your spiritual side.
Know that there is a Higher Power ready and willing to assist you whenever you feel the need. You’ll be amazed at how good it makes you feel.
