We should NEVER judge someone or something by what’s on the outside. Let me explain...
I met a nice couple today who allowed me to have wonderful conversation with them. We talked for over an hour about things in our pasts and how they relate to our lives today. Several subjects were brought up and one stood out as being a great message to post for everyone. I hope you enjoy it.
When I was in my mid-teens, a distant cousin revealed something to me that I carry with me today. He was an average looking man with not much to speak of yet he had the most wonderful and beautiful wife you could imagine. Not only was his wife a blessing but so was his daughter-in-law. I wondered how the two of them could have gotten so lucky with women so I asked. After all...I was hoping to have a date sooner or later. His answer to my questions taught me a wonderful lesson that could apply to anything in life. I hope you can follow along grasping the message that he taught just as I did years ago.
The first thing he told me was, “you should never judge a book by its cover.” He then told me to go somewhere and look around for the most beautiful girl in the room. Once I had spotted her, go up to her and casually start up a general conversation with her. Try not to use the normal lines she most likely had heard thousands of times but something that was meaningful and wasn't just a line filled with a lot of bull. If she wasn't interested in chatting, simply move on to the next beautiful girl, holding your head up high, and do the same thing over again. Sooner or later, one of the girls will want to talk to you. He also said that just because she is so pretty doesn't always mean that she has a boyfriend. He explained that most guys think the same thing. Due to her looks, she must have a boyfriend...right? WRONG... Many guys, no matter their looks, physical or financial state, will think the same as you so they won't even bother to try to talk to her. This would be their mistake and I could capitalize on it. And I did.
As I got out of my comfort zone and began making meaningful small talk with several girls, I started to realize that what I was told was completely correct. Most of the girls were looking for a true friend, a man they could talk to and spend their time with. They were wanting someone to see them for their inner beauty as well as their outer beauty. Over the next several years, I had the opportunity to date several girls that could be considered as beauty queens. If you've ever seen me you would wonder why they would go out with me. I just never judged a single girl by what I saw on the outside. It must have worked...I've been married for over 14 years now.
As you go through your life doing your everyday chores and work, I hope you remember and apply this little lesson to your life as I do. You may be surprised that the things you thought could never be a part of your life are soon becoming a part of your world.
Keep Smiling And...
NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!!!
