Words that Inspire
I waswatching MasterClass the other dayand was inspired by a phrase that Tan France said.You may not recognize him by his name,but you may know Tan Franceastheco-host in the program, 'Queer Eye'.He is the fashion stylist.I like the approach he takeswhen finding the right fashion for his clients.He is respectful of who they areandsupports them to be their wonderful selfthrough fashion.So it was only natural for him to say, 'Be the Reason to be Happy'.These words somehow struck me.Perhaps it was because I heard these words when I was at my low mode.A phase that I unknowingly entered,in which I'm wondering what am I doing here?A point in time taking stock of my life and thinking,what have I achieved?Or perhaps realisticallyit was so true thatdespite the fact that I have a closetful of clothes and more,none of them made me feel confident,none of them really made me feel elated.I was disregarding how my clothes represented meand was wearing whateverwas convenient to washduring the hot and sweaty summerseason.Looking good was not a priority.Looking decent was good enough.This phase I am in is called aging, and yes, I miss my youth.But watching his class did remind me thatbeing happy could simply start from wearing clothesthat exciteme forbeing who I amand being my own kind of wonderful once again.Don't we all want to be the reason to be happyand make others feel happy, too?
