I'm sure you've heard the phrase that
it's what's on the inside that counts
right you've probably even heard the
scripture man looks only outward
appearance but God looks on the heart
and of course I believe the word of God
that is the truth but let me just ask
you do you think your appearance affects
your success let's talk about that this
week you know let me just ask you what
if I were to say I have a very special
gift for you
very special but it's what's on the
inside that counts now you make the
decision do you want the Walmart bag or
the Louie Vuitton bag now it's what's on
the inside that counts
but how about you the packaging sort of
affects my decision right well you know
you've probably heard about the law of
attraction now the law of attraction
basically it explains that your mind is
like a magnet that whatever gets in your
mind and stays there you will attract it
in your life the law of attraction or
you could say proverbs 23:7 whatever a
man thinks in his heart so did he become
what you think about you bring about
right that's the law of attraction and
I'm sure you've heard stories about
people like Bruce Lee how back in
nineteen seventy he wrote a letter to
himself put it on the inside of an
envelope and then he wrote on the front
the secret and what he wrote on the
inside was now this was in January of
1970 he said by 1980 I will be the best
oriental movie star in the United States
and I will have ten million dollars well
he only made three films in three years
he actually died in 1973 but he had ten
million dollars and he was the best
oriental movie star in the United States
the law of attraction that whatever gets
in your mind and stays there you will
attract it in your life or you've
probably heard about the quarterback
Colin Kaepernick how he wrote a note to
himself in the fourth grade
in fact the class had them the teacher
had the class do this he wrote a note to
himself fourth grade he said when I grow
up I'm going to be six four I'm going to
go to college and I'm going to be a
professional quarterback for either the
kurz are the 49ers well he's 64 went to
the University of Nevada and he's the
quarterback for the 49ers well that's
just the law of attraction whatever gets
in your mind and stays there you will
attract it in your life well I believe
there are certain things you can do to
attract more success just things in the
natural physical things that we can do
the whole month I want to talk about
different things that will help you
achieve more success but this week
specifically your appearance now I have
to be very careful and very delicate
with this because in no way am I saying
that everybody needs to wear bright
colors and a lot of makeup and have big
Texas hair but I am just saying there
are certain things you can do physically
that will enable you to attract more
success you know I read somewhere well
you've probably heard this statement you
don't get a second chance on a first
impression listen to this when you first
meet someone they make a judgement about
you within four seconds approximately
four seconds they've already made a
judgment about you just by your
appearance the American personnel
consultants now these are the ones who
are in charge of hiring or not hiring
people for large companies listen to
what they said we make a decision within
30 seconds of the first meeting so they
haven't even heard what you have to
offer they haven't heard your skills
nothing but within 30 seconds they make
a decision to hire or not hire someone
listen to what else they said your
clothing is responsible for 95 percent
of that first impression now isn't that
interesting so you're wanting to go up
higher in god you're wanting to go to
the next level of success that he has
for your life I'm just saying there
could be certain little things that we
could change in our appearance to help
us go the next level you know is reading
something from clothes psychology listen
to this now keep in mind I'm not making
the cut and drive evaluation of you from
head to toe I'm not saying you have to
dress you know an expensive clothing hey
I'm bargain shopper I like to come to
work you know and I'll say guess how
much I paid for this and they I tell
them all the guests hi you know still
would be like 139 dollars now I'm like
nope $13.99 t.j.maxx
so I'm a bargain shopper but I'm saying
there are things we can do to actually
look more successful and of course like
attracts like so listen to this from
close psychology they said there's
different types of dressers and they
have meaning behind it like the sloppy
dresser it says your clothes are
wrinkled stained mismatched others
typically take this to mean that in a
figurative sense you are too sloppy
clothing sends a message that you don't
really care about your appearance your
job your future or otherwise that's
amazing isn't it the skimpy dresser
skimpy dressers always opt for the
shortest tightest most revealing
clothing they can find no matter where
they're going to be the company picnic
could be at the beach with their kids
but it says wearing overly revealing
clothing often exudes insecurity in an
attempt to gather attention based solely
on your body perhaps suggesting this is
all I have to offer that's pretty strong
isn't it the drab dresser that just
means that you're trying to blend in
with the crowd you don't want a lot of
attention well like I said I'm not
saying you have to dress a certain way
but according to this article they said
what you wear does not define you as a
person but it is a reflection of how you
feel about yourself you know there was a
famous study John T Molloy he wrote a
book called Dress for Success he did a
study at Grand Central Station in New
York City and he said what he did was he
just walked up to strangers and he said
to them I'm so embarrassed he said I
left my wallet at home
I just need 75 cents to catch a train
home can you give me 75 cents well
during his experiment he did this for
two hours during the busiest time at
Grand Central Station
he said the first hour he conducted the
experiment he wore a suit with no tie
the second hour he wore the same suit
but he just added a tie well in the
first hour wearing the suit no tie he
made seven dollars and 23 cents
the second hour when he just added the
time he made $26 and this is what he
said what I wore was directly related to
the success I had that day and in my
life so
all I'm saying is that dressed in a way
that makes you feel good about yourself
you know man what's on the outward
appearance but God looks on my heart
I heard Mike Murdock say but God isn't
doing the hiring but I just want you to
dress in a way that makes you feel good
you know it could be that you just iron
your clothes or you go to a discount
place that has some cute clothes that
you can just add a scarf to or you can
add some jewelry girls or guys whatever
but just in a way that you just feel
good about yourself I read an article
one time that said looking good makes
you feel good so like attracts like you
know I was listening to a podcast the
other day and they were talking about
different entrepreneurs who are selling
things and they said you think people
are coming to you for the product you're
selling but they're not they're making a
decision on whether or not they're going
to buy your product based on you because
they're saying do I want to look like
her do I want to sound like her do I
want to live the way she lives they're
making their decision based on you so
you are the biggest advertising agent so
I just want you to dress in a way that
you feel good about yourself also we
have this month a new teaching on the
ABCs of attracting success I go through
the alphabet I think all the way to G I
didn't go always do you don't worry but
different things that I've applied in my
life to help me attract more success and
it's very practical I know it will help
you go to the next level if you're
