Be Magical

Recently my wife, Tiffany, started a new business with my daughter. It’s centered around healthy living and lifestyle. This same wife (as if I have more than one), is also the mother of my 5 children. Needless to say, a stay at home mom with 7 people to do laundry for, cook for and tons of other things that come with the territory doesn’t always have time to spend all morning (like my daughter) doing her hair and make up and whatever else it is that women do in the bathroom.

Obviously, I find my wife very attractive, even on those days when I come home from work and she’s worn out and curled up on the couch donning a pair of sweats and a pony tail. Recently, however, she’s made an effort to get up even earlier than she already does and spend a few extra moments needed to look even more amazing than she normally does. I complimented her on this, and her response (besides “Thank You, but I’m nowhere near as hot as you my stud muffin of a husband.”) was that now that she’s a business owner, she felt she needed to look the part. Additionally, since the business centers around healthy living, etc., it was more critical that she looked the part. She commented that it would hard to sell health products if she, herself, looked unhealthy.

So simple, but so true. So, the message: look the part. You’re a magician. You must look the part. Obviously, I’m not encouraging you to wear your stage “costume” all day out in public. I’m simply saying, look (or better said, “BE” magical. That doesn’t necessarily mean you have to change the way your dress – although it might mean that. It does mean, however, that your persona should be magical. So what is magical? What does magical look like? How do you portray magical? Frankly, I’m not entirely sure I know the answer to that. So I’ll put it out there for a discussion. What can we do to “represent” magic or magical in our daily non-performing lives?

Bring on the discussion . . .
