Have you ever noticed that the people who have their lives together always seem to dress nicely? Even in they are dressing on the casual side, they look well put together.
 
On the other side of the issue is those who dress all messy. Their tennis shoes are dirty. They wear faded tee-shirts, with maybe holes in them. And, just their general deminer is unclean and unkempt. It always seems that people who dress in that fashion are not living at a higher level of existence?
 
Now, I’m not being judgy here or anything like that... I’m just stating the obvious.
 
I remember maybe six months ago, I was at my dentist’s office, waiting to get my teeth cleaned and I was wearing this pair of white Addidas Superstar tennis shoes. This one guy walks out into the waiting area. He points at my shoes and comments, “You need to get those things dirty.” That guy wore dirty tennis shoes and had a very unkempt appearance. Who is he to tell me anything?
 
Today, I was at this store and there was no cashier at the register. I looked around to see if I could hail one. This guy, who looked homeless, wearing a dirty army jacket, jeans, dirty tennis shoes, and a dirty backpack walks right past me and plops what he wants to buy on the counter. This made me smile, internally.
 
The cashier walks up, looks at me, realizing what took place, and rings him up first. I really didn’t care. What’s a moment or two, this way or that? But, what this situation does illustrate is the way that people who are living on the lower level of the human scale behave.
 
Or course, this is just one example. But, take a look at your own experiences, as you have passed through life. How do the people that take care of themselves behave compared to those who just let themselves go?
 
It’s kind of like when someone is driving a really junky car and they cut me off or something. I am far less likely to get upset at their bad driving than when someone who is driving a Tesla or something else on the higher end of the automative scale. The junky car driver, they’re already living an unfilled, underachieved life. How could my getting mad at them and getting all road ragey make anything any better for them? Or, maybe better put, anything any worse.
 
This is just something to think about as you pass through life. It doesn’t matter the style of clothing you’re wearing. But, what does matter is how clean and put together you keep yourself.
 
Clean is clean. Dirty is dirty. Which do you wish to be?
