Everyone was having fun. There was a group of ladies by the corner, sipping on tea and gossiping away like they were going to be paid for it and on the other side of the room was a group of guys.... one of them was really quiet and all i could hear was "No i think the new BMW is better than that". It was very typical of them because a lot of men seem to love cars. The room was so busy and everyone was minding their own business well UNTIL.......
a very beautiful lady in heels walked in, don't get me wrong all the ladies in the room were gorgeous but this one......She had this odour that simply forced itself into our nose. It violently grabbed our attention and did not want to let us go.
We all looked at her and you could see she was starting to feel uncomfortable and she tried to trick us by depicting a Mona Lisa smile that we could all see was not genuine!
yep!! she got that much attention because she simply SMELLED GOOD! her cologne PROVOKED PEOPLES SENSES including mine!
what is it that i love about some Fragrances?
They speak
- Luxury
- warmth
- reassurance
- freshness
- give the impression that you are clean
- strength (in terms of the smell and lasting effect)
There is something that we all have that pretty much works like the cologne she had on and that is CHARACTER.
Character is the combination of mental characteristics and behavior that distinguishes a person.
We all have this but unfortunately our characters can never be the same, in the same sense that we use different fragrances to smell different. Its very important that we focus on building our characters because they speak for us... they can speak luxury/not, they can create warmth where you are/ create a cold environment, they can bring out reassurance that you are confident and spray your strengths wherever you are, they can bring about positivity (freshness)/ radiate negativity (contaminating others), they can give us an impression or idea about how you think and carry yourself , they can determine how you will provoke our senses and the type of lasting effect you will leave with us and lastly they can inform us about how strongor weak your character is.
Things like self love and building your self-esteem are essential but bringing restoration and growth in your character is very important.
Your character will determine how you handle storms when they come your way, it will determine how you treat different relationships, it will determine what you do after having failed at something, it will determine how you will persevere,it will determine how you can endure and it will determine how you behave after God has blessed you....BASICALLY.... Your character is the boat you need to be on in order to move from one area to another (be it from bad to good, from having nothing to having something) and in order to move from one level to another.
SO.......... as much as we want to spend time filtering our pictures, finding the perfect dress/suit and finding the perfect spouse....let us sharpen our character.
Like sharpening a pencil, the process might hurt a little(here and there) but let us do so anyway because the results are what matter the most.
Check-list
1. self love - CHECK!
2. loving and caring about others - CHECK
