How Do I Look? Part 3

Main Scripture:  And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Col 3:10

Ladies in addition to having a clean heart it is also very important for us to watch our attitudes and our appearance on our journey to achieving our God given potential.

·         How Does My Attitude Look? – Zig Zagler once said that your “attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.” It means that no matter how smart or talented you are, if you do not have the right attitude you will not get very far. Ladies on this journey it is important for us to develop positive attitudes.

Og Mandino says “Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.”

Thomas Jefferson once said that “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.”

“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome” - William James

·         How Do I Look – The show looks at the physical appearance of the contestant. Physical appearance is also very important as this is the first thing someone will see when they meet you.

Harvard Business Review in writing about how dressing professionally and conservatively can advance careers states “Indeed, half the women surveyed and 37% of the men considered appearance and earning power to be intrinsically linked; they understood that if you don't look the part of a leader, you're not likely to be given the role. Far from imagining that appearance is a personal matter, they perceived that looking well-turned-out engenders self-confidence, a trait they considered the bedrock of authentic leaders."

Ladies, keeping up your physical appearance can also be good for your relationship. Many women have marital problems because they do not keep up their physical appearances. Also, your children often look at how you dress to determine their style. The fact is you are their first role model, so they will look to model you even in this area, if you do not dress appropriately; it is quite likely that your little girl will do the same. On the other hand the boys will just ask you not to drop them off at school.

Ladies I implore you today to start an assessment of yourself, allow God to lead you in this task and aim to put on a new self. We are representatives of God, we are successful and virtuous women thus it is very important that we have a clean heart, the right attitude and professional and conservative appearance.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies

Let’s Pray,

Lord we thank you for renewing our hearts, today we ask you to also instill in us a right attitude. An attitude that is humble, grateful and that seeks to do the right instead of the wrong. Also Lord I pray that you will teach us to have the right physical appearance always remembering that we are representing you.

In Jesus Name

Amen
