I woke up in a frenzy.
I finished showering and changed into the clothes I would wear for church.
I looked in the mirror and asked myself:
I don’t look like I’m going to church.
I look like I’m getting ready to run.
These two thoughts were all it took for me to decide I shouldn’t go to church today.
I could’ve easily had time to change into better clothes, as I still had a few minutes to get ready, but my confidence was destroyed by how I appeared in the mirror, and I thought I wasn’t meant to go to church today.
Instead, I stayed inside and continued working away.
But this uneventful morning left me wondering:
Why did the clothes I wore have such an effect on my mood?
In any case, I realize my appearances matter.
If I want to be taken seriously, wearing bright-colored clothing with hot pink shoes wouldn’t help.
Next time, I’ll prepare my clothing the night before so I don’t get my ego destroyed when I look at the mirror again.
Here’s my quote for the day.
Clothes aren’t going to change the world, the women who wear them will.
