Part 4: Same emphasis on living as dressing up

You probably have read one or two articles on the blog on what fashion means for different individuals. It is quite amazing to learn that how you are dressed affects your personality and this is built from your belief system, what is it that you believe about life?
When we go out to meet with people, whether be at work, church, weddings, parties or any other event that you were honoured enough to receive an invitation to, we always make it a point that we look our best and this is whatever our best means for each of us.
Have we ever sat ourselves down to figure out why we want to look our best at these events? I mean, yeah, looking proper is a good thing however it is always important to figure out what the reason for looking good is. I don’t know about you but I always imagine myself in a particular style/outfit before trying it on and when I eventually do try it on, sometimes it works sometimes and sometimes it does not and in most cases I would need to adjust one or two things for the look to be as close as I had imagined it. Sometimes even the colours of the outfit in your head do not work and that too needs adjusting to find the perfect colour for the intended look. When the look does not entirely, well we do change and try out a different look that is just as ravishing.
Have you ever imagined yourself leading a life that is more fulfilling than what you are currently living? It may be a common practice for almost all of us to have imagined ourselves living better lives than we currently are leading. See, each of us should be able to define what a better life means for them. You would be surprised to learn that even your closest person dreams and imagines themselves leading a life that is different from yours and this also includes their interest. Which is the reason it is imperative for each of us to define what a better life means.
Similarly to an imagined outfit that we spoke of at the beginning of this article and us making adjustment should it not fit us the way we had imagined, we too need to make life adjustments should the life that we are currently leading not be what we have in mind. These adjustments may be minor or major however if we are to live a life that we so imagine ourselves living, we will need to make necessary adjustments.
Just like we dress up for events and look good in outfits we need to live our lives in a manner that fulfils us.

I am here to learn and to refresh others.
