"30 Days" Day 2: Shine Your Shoes


I'm actually kind of excited for this task, though I won't be able to do it until after work. At first, I thought this task to be a little forced, maybe superficial, but this morning I started thinking about it and I believe it has a couple different messages.

The first is that we should take pride in our appearance, even the shoes, because that is the first thing a person is to be judged upon. If we present ourselves in a clean, well thought out fashion, it not only adds to our own confidence but the confidence of others as well. People will be more inclined to open up than they would if we appeared shabby or as if we don't care.

The second message, to me, is to pay attention to detail. The details are frequently what trip us up. I'm sure I can speak for all men, but commonly we focus more on the "big picture" instead of the details that make up the whole. If we take the time to pay attention to our own details, we will better understand our own "big picture"; thereby allowing us to learn things about ourselves we may have missed.

I'll most likely take a photo of my shoes once they're all shiny and neat looking. I'll upload it here.


Until next time,
