I have never really been so lucky with write ups or do I say being passionate about writing wasn’t birthed in my DNA or non challancy has so much consumed my emotions that I rather leave thoughts wandering in the corners of my mind than pen it on paper? I guess now I figured something to share before I lock more thoughts up in my shell. Lol…
Oh well, you might be wondering what this is all about from the title but guess what? This is about You! What are you made of? What does your presence actually portray and what can you deliver? It’s quite impossible to decipher people’s impression of you but we all strive to make long lasting impressions one way or the other. Funny how I have to re-ask myself these questions because most often than not, 80% of us have buried our mindset in the mantra of “Everything na packaging”.
However, it is pertinent that we re-fix our make up.
Logically and figuratively, ‘Make up‘ here implies the totality of your being. Recently, I was in a conversation with a friend and we were analyzing the literal concept of make up usage as beauty enhancers by ladies and to correct their body shape(package) in a way.
Thus, this observation brought me to a realization which I’ll leave you to ponder on.
As much as your package looks beautiful, let it also be valuable.
Hol up! this is not some motivational piece intended to give you thrills or make you feel like you are a total mess or even make you feel like you’ve had your highest accomplishment already and there’s no point fixing You anymore. The truth is, people will only notice and nuture you when they are fully aware that you have something to deliver.
“Don’t just be a container, Carry content” I heard this sometime ago and I never fully understood the meaning until I was faced with practical experiences where I knew I couldn’t just sit back and watch but contribute. Have you ever wondered why some well read and sophisticated graduates still get turned down for a job application? They have the certificate record of distinctions but still cannot prove it with their appearance at an interview. Why do your friends not hit you up on opportunities and offers they benefit from? Why does it seem like you are in the dark of everything even when you try to show yourself? Ever wondered why people tend to push and pick on you even when you struggle to fit into their circle? Or you are probably in a gathering and the mention of some people’s names in absential attracts not just an applaud but a standing ovation which isn’t meted to the present guests. Just imagine!
There are levels to these things and we would say “this life no balance” Oh yeah! But what really do you have to offer and how does your presence make impact? starting from your family, friends, relationships before we place the measurements scale to the society. It all starts with you being a valuable product that will not be toyed with and also productive in your doings.
I once posted this…
“A billboard does nothing yet people stare at it and channel keen attention to it… It doesn’t strain. Sometimes it’s not all about straining so much for them to notice you. Make sure the design of YOU speak You (Identity, Influence, Personality)”.
They say you can be the complete package and still get delivered to the wrong address. Likewise, You can be at the right address but your package delivery doesn’t fit in.
Please dear, be properly made up. By building yourself continuously; You subsequently become like a billboard which in its position, is being noticed. Your personality begins to earn you respect, recognition and affluence. Remember, the beautiful package of You has to be valuable.
With every step you take in the Make up, be sure it fits into the picture of what you want to deliver.
Curious about the STEPS? Find out in the next post, dear!
