IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY, BUT DO NOT SNEAK UP ON, THE HIGHLY TRAINED, BOARD-BREAKING, NUNCHAKU-SWINGING, SHURIKEN STAR-THROWING, LETHAL CLAW-SCRATCHING, HELP-GRANDMA-ACROSS-THE-STREET WARRIORS at the HSR, if any suspicious-looking bacteria, or any other up-to-no-good microbes try to penetrate your “fresh out the oven, aroma carried by the wind, cooling by the open window, tart apple pie” smile!
“The smiles that you make may or may not be contagious to others.”
We critically view ourselves and others critically view us. And both count big!
Our appearances in the mirror to ourselves are very important, and this reinforces, impacts, and validates our self identities.
We want to be seen as attractive, but certainly not unattractive. It is in our nature to like to be wanted and accepted by others. Our genes express a level of gregariousness. We are communal and even tribal beings.
People can tell a lot about you by just looking at you.
Yes, in many ways you can tell a book by its cover!
That’s why many people habitually dress well and wear designer clothes and routinely employ top-notch accessories.
We want to show that we are entitled and are worthy! And there is a case to be made that, the quality of what one wears makes a measureable difference in his or her actions, beliefs, and perceptions.
The Journal of Experimental Social Psychology published a study in 2012, performed at Northwestern University, where students actually improved their test scores and attention levels when they wore “important clothes.” The researchers concluded that the psychological phenomenon of “enclothed cognition” made the wearers of the “important clothes” feel more empowered, confident, and motivated to perform intellectually better at given tasks.
So important clothes and a beautiful smile can help people look and feel more enhanced and more attractive.
And you have heard of the “mind over matter” saying, where the power of the brain can control the physical realm.
Therefore, while the clothes can help one look and feel more important, the power of one’s personality precipitates the biggest social impact of one’s presence. It’s probably possible to point out who, in a group of people, may be like a big-time CEO just by his or her confident mannerisms, facial gestures, and how they carry themselves.
Also, if a janitor and a big-business Board Chairman both wore Oscar De La Renta suits, and stood next to each other, could you tell them apart?
Yes, the person and personality makes and potentiates the clothes!
The great attitude, confidence, and demeanor that one feels inside, is bound to show outside! We are what we think and feel! And others will feel the exuding vibe and witness it, maybe with amazement!
Just like how a genuinely happy person may smile and radiate an air of delight!
Other people passing by can easily pick up on that.
And guess what…the same goes for the smile…
The whole face truthfully adjusts to give a real and unadulterated smile when the feeling is faithful, even if the teeth and lips are not at their esthetic best.
But when the smile is at its esthetic, orthodontic, and anatomic best, and the emotions and potentiating verve of the personality are pure, and authentic, it may feel as if unmitigated joy and love is in the air…
…and magical things happen when a saturating love erupts in the present!
May you have many…whose quality control, style appropriateness, and level of coolness demands do you have to satisfy anyway?...I’m going to charge up my smile’s enamel by letting it soak up some photonic rays on the beach for that extra brightness…what would life be like if there were no mysteries, uncertainties, or unanswerable questions?…smiles!
