How You Look And What It Means

In a world where judgement is constantly being thrown your way, wouldn't it make sense to look the best you can be to show exactly what you are about?

In any case in life you will always be judged; that is a given. The question is why? Now this can be examined through many cases all revolving on what is simply human nature. Our very anatomy is formulated to judge every possible piece of life at it's most highest form. We are able to do this by our five senses, which help put everything into perspective, positive or negative.

In our current present time, though, we distinctively use our eyes far more than our other senses. It is perhaps the most constant aspect in our lives, sometimes though it can be pushed a bit too far. Especially when it is dealing with looking at our kind. Your appearance is a crucial factor of how people view you. In doing so, we should all try to look exactly how we want the world wants to view us. No matter what someone else might think or not, you are the one who runs the show and ultimately has the last say on what you think is best for you. With that being said, you should already know the consequences of your decision and take with it stride.

Let's be honest, we'd rather just carry on instead of having to hear what someone else thinks how we look on that day. Being constant with how you wish to look is a huge statement all on it's own. Looking clean, done exactly how you like it, nice unwrinkled clothes with shoes to match, and some other extra enhancements can be very alluring for both men and women (depending entirely on what is valued at a first glimpse). Looking sharp is a great distinction as to how you take yourself and how much you love being you. Generally speaking, how you look can land you with some very unique opportunities in the long run. After all, you never know who could be watching at any moment in time.

One major example of that is an interview for a job. There are many upon thousands of standards set for interviews that you must meet, but none more important as how you look when you first meet with your interviewer. If you look like you just came straight out of bed, not having a belt buckle with a pair of jeans, a heavy scent of bad aroma coming from your mouth, and a pale white face, you can kiss that possible chance at that job goodbye! Sometimes, depending on the job, they need to see you can dress accordingly to the same qualifications as their current employees. Hey, even places of business need to look good as well.

Looking nice has a special way of making your day already go off to a good start. As an added bonus, when people see how good you look, they sometimes look at themselves and get jealous because you look better. So in a way it is competitive as well. So why not try and be the best to show up ready to win!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
