You are Eye catching

"The Life you lead is the legacy you leave"

Today I'll try to introduce you to the world of modelling. Explore your possibilities of becoming a role model and influencing other. Did you ever once wish you were a model? that you could also catch people's attention? that people would also observe you in public?

Well, our models are people like us. They also wear ordinary clothes during ordinary days. They do not own the clothes they model, for they are usually the property of the fashion designers. The models only wear them during photo sessions and fashion shows; otherwise, they usually wear jeans and T-shirts. Even in ordinary clothes however, they still get noticed. What does the public notice in them?

Models admit in interviews and write-ups that, generally, they have a positive outlook in life or positive attitudes toward many areas in life. They also experience problems once in a while, but they do not let those concerns overwhelm them to inaction. They look at the bright side instead so as to overcome these problems. These positive attitudes are the ones seen and felt by the public.

The public also notices and feels in the models self-confidence, self-acceptance, self-control, calmness, control over things, credibility. Models also project hope. Do you notice that what models project to which the attention of the public is drawn are values? So, basically, models are models because they manifest certain values and attitudes  in how they look and behave.

Model though have not gotten to look and behave the way they do overnight. It has taken long practice. Many of them admit of feeling uneasy when they started out. The important thing is to practice positive attitudes and values. You also have positive attitudes and you do practice values, don't you?

Real life is just like modelling. We are always caught by other people on "still or video-audio camera" and filled in their memories. The difference is that, in real life, we are not usually conscious of what we all say and do and of their consequences. Try to look at your pictures in facebook. You are at your best when you are aware of the picture taking. To be sure, you have prepared yourself before your image is taken. But probably you also have stolen shots that are unfavorable to you. These unguarded moments are what the public often sees, not the ones when you posed.

Fortunately or unfortunately, you do not know what impression of your image are filled in people's memories. As a model of human behavior, you are highly regarded by some people. Only, you do not know what they will imitate in you.


Eye Opener


We have,  at one time of another, already imitated others. They are usually belong to the circles in which we move about. That is how trends start. Sometimes what we have imitated do no look good on us. Wrong things never look good on anyone. But the trendsetter (even professional models) does not know that he/she is imitated. That person has become unwittingly a "leader of wrong example". A behavior that gives the wrong pattern for imitation is called a scandal and can set in other persons a behavioral trend called vice. These persons have become victims through their mindless imitation. If they only knew these wrong behaviors do no look good on them....

You might now know it but you, too, might have already been imitated. How would you feel if you were hailed as an image model of something wrong?

On the other hand, how would you feel if you were a model of something positive? You may have already felt it during you "modelling" stint in life and like you, your audience was happy. Who would not be? What you have model was a value. The practice you will set to fashion is a virtue. Your followers will clothe themselves in virtue. You, as the virtue trendsetter, are a leader of change, a leader of good example.

However,  not all fashions catches on. Some people will not believe what they see. Why? Because they have not yet seen it constantly practiced. It takes habit for a trend to be noticed. A value sticks to one's image if it has already become a virtue; then,  it makes a lasting impression. Some who believe you may still not follow you. This reality comes with modelling. But once they decide to follow suit, you will have already provided them a role model and the will consider you a blessing.
