Be You. But Better.

This week was a fulfilling and energizing one. We had a final group presentation and individual presentations, which, were awesome. There is nothing like working together as a group and feeling like you crushed your project. 

It was my personal presentation about business dress that got me thinking about how we see ourselves and how people see us. That tied with the thoughts from conference about not living a double life inspired the following thoughts. 

Of course, there is much more to a person than the way they dress, but that is the first thing people see. And I strongly believe that people dress the way that they are. Their clothes express their personality. So if you feel tempted to wear a pair of sweats to school everyday, look yourself in the mirror and say, "I am not in a Tae-bo workout video, put on some pants, and go have a killer day." That right there will change your mood and your lookout on life. Have confidence. Say hi to people, compliment random people, give someone a hug because hugs are the perfect remedy for any school day blues. 

As I have thought about this, employers will be attracted to those that are charismatic. I have been obsessed about traits of charismatic people lately. Being a ray of sunshine in someone's day sounds like a good gig, why not try it. Doing this will spread to other areas of your life. That is something I have realized this week and it is making me want to be better in my studies, relationships with friends and family, the whole kit and caboodle.

So try it, be that contagious happiness that you're looking for.
