Packaging Gives You An Identity
Dear Friends,
I want you to know that you are a unique divine product on display to your world. However, a good product cannot gain acceptance without good packaging.
A product can be very good, but if it is not well packaged, it may not be accepted by those who even need it.
Your packaging determines who you attract. Your packaging affects your destiny. You can't attract kings looking like a peasant. The clothes you wear and the way you carry yourself and your accessories speaks volumes.
Many good people have been mistaken for bad people simply because of their appearance. Nobody can call you a harlot if you don't dress or look like one. Nobody can call you a hooligan if you don't dress or act like one.
Every profession has its dress code and ethics. A motor mechanic cannot be mistaken for a medical doctor, but when doctors begin to look like mechanics, something is not right.
Your appearance tells others a lot about what you think of yourself. Most importantly, it gives people an impression of who you are. It reveals your personality, character, sense of worth and values.
You don't have to be expensive to look good. An expensive dress does not always mean a good dress. You don't have to wear a new cloth to look neat, but you can carry yourself with poise, self respect and dignity.
What does it cost you to brush your teeth or use mouthwash to rid yourself of that mouth odour?
What does it cost you to get a good body spray so as to get rid of body odour?
What does it cost to wash your clothes and iron them real good even if it is the only one you have?
Sometimes, you have to take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself some soul searching questions "Who will I attract in this attire? What do i look like? Do i truly look like me? Do I look decent? Will this offend someone who is weak in the belief? Will this take me to my destiny?"
What is fashionable or in vogue does not necessarily give men value, worth, respect and dignity. The fact that a particular dress is trending does not mean you must join those who are wearing it, most especially if it does not portray you as a child of God or as a responsible or decent person. Dress well but make sure you think right.
Remember also that the package must carry substance, that's what makes it complete. A well dressed fool is still a fool. A well packaged ignoramus is still a stupendous ignoramus.
Dress up and think up so that you can reach the next level of your life in style. However, don't forget that of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.
No matter how you are dressed, you are not complete until you wear a smile and a sound mind.
Truly, Appearance matters a lot.
I hope I have made sense to someone reading this post without thinking I talk too much.
Just Be Yourself
