Clothes...

Today, I wore some clothes I haven't donned for a while. I wore a long-sleeved shirt, slacks, and leather shoes. An ensemble I haven't donned since my days working in Safeway which was two years ago. I had an ulterior motive to wearing this garb. Actually, I had two.
The first one was because my jeans that have served me well for more than four years have finally given up the ghost. My jeans have gotten torn. I will probably spend tomorrow stitching them up so that I still have rugged pants to use. The second was I wanted to mix things up a bit at work. Too many people have gotten too complacent and have gotten too comfortable with the workplace. I thought I would stir things up a bit by showing them a different side of me.
Two theories came about from my actions. One I found curious, the other was common. The first was hot date. Actually, there were some who were saying it looked nice. Was it far from the truth. Yes. I did not have a date that evening nor did I plan on picking anyone up to go out with. I was more of a just leave me alone kind of guy.
The second theory to my ensemble was job interview. It was something I didn't pay too much attention to. I was staying up late the night before reading which was the reason why I came in to work late. I just let them guess. I gave them one reason for my apparel. I ran out of clothes to wear. It is the lamest, most unbelievable excuse ever. My reason for using the most unbelievable excuse is that it keeps them guessing.
Life relies on three things. It relies on the mind, the body, and the soul. In this case, we shall refer to an element of the soul: the heart or emotion. Now, all three of these are in constant motion. The mind learns, the body grows, and the soul feels. If one of these comes at a stand still, it throws off the dynamic factor of the other two. All three are in motion that is interdependent and interrelated. The growth of one supplements the other. In the case of the mind, once it stops learning, the body tends to lose its strength and emotions start to become neagative. In the case of the body, once it stops growing, the mind starts to become complacent and emotions become negative. Now, emotions are totally different.
The emotional growth of a being supplants the desire to learn, hence, to improve. In this improvement, the body follows in development and discipline. Emotion has to be dynamic. One cannot stay in one state of emotion for too long for it hinders creative thought. It robs a mind of inspiration in its state of stasis.
Inspiration is important for it makes us all progress. It makes us go beyond our limits. It creates goals and aspirations and not just blind ambition. It gives us purpose and makes us struggle for a brighter tomorrow.
So, I learned a lot today. A change of clothes and I was a different person and I probably put a few smiles on the faces of my co-workers. Who knows. Maybe I will don a similar ensemble once again.
