Accenting your Attributes

Isn’t it funny how women with big luscious lips are the ones who normally have lip stuff on? When in fact lip stuff was kinda designed for women with smaller less noticeable lips, so that they could enhance them. My friend Ashley and I have had this conversation before. I believe we attributed this behavior to accenting your attributes.

We actually see this behavior happen more often then we realize. Let’s think about this. Guys with larger biceps wear shirts that fit tightly around their arms. Girls like to accessorize their small waist lines. And don’t forget about those jeans that are made to fit just right on either sex. Yeah you know what I’m talking about, stop picturing it in your head already.

Why do we do this though? Is there a real purpose for accenting your assets? I believe there is, even though it might seem kind of carnal at first. We are people of our senses. One of the first one’s used is sight. Many times we wanna looky-looky before we touchy-touchy. (This is probably a good thing because objects that appear sharp usually are).

We can’t help but draw attention to ourselves. The fun part though is choosing what people to look at first. Hopefully, every one of us knows what our desirable traits are. At least we think we do, and if those traits are physical ones, then guess what! We accent them.

Some might also call this, “putting your best foot forward.” And why not? There should be something about each of us that we really truly love. There is nothing wrong with self confidence. We are created beings and our Creator loves us, so why shouldn’t we love ourselves?

Consider the male peacock. What if he just walked around all the time dragging his tail feathers along? No one would ever get to see the beauty of his plumage. Sure some others might be bigger or brighter, but his is unique. Unique enough to still exist. The mere existence could be shown at the right time and then that moment can never be changed back. It could be his most pivotal moment too.

Am I recommending that every woman wear make-up and every man find that perfect fit jean? No, I could never say that. What I am saying is figure out what it is you just love about yourself. Then accent it, show your plumage!
