Let Your Natural Scent Smell Like Success

August 10, 2010 | Maria Marin [ 0 ]

The fragrance that winners have can’t be purchased in any department store. It’s a product of your attitude, your thoughts and actions, which release the essence of yourself.

I have a close friend who I adore. She’s loyal, caring and knows how to listen. Every time we get together I tell her, “When I’m with you, I always breathe easy.” Why does everybody breathe easy when they’re around her? Simple! She smells like peace and calm.

Everything in the world smells like something! Our noses can detect much more than just fresh-baked cookies, a carton of spoiled milk or a rose garden. We can smell people and even situations. That’s why when we feel like something’s a little off, we say “This doesn’t smell right!” Our sense of smell can even pick up on things we can’t see. Smell of Success

For example: when you’re at a hospital, you smell the sickness of the patients. If you travel to Haiti, you’ll smell poverty. If you go to a funeral, you’ll breathe in the sadness in the atmosphere. And when you go to your church, you breathe serenity.

Each one of us carries a scent that’s uniquely ours. Haven’t you ever met a negative person who talks about their problems incessantly, and you think they smell like failure? And I’m sure you’ve crossed paths with someone who has a great attitude, and they naturally exude success.

What do you smell like? I want to motivate you to smell like success. You might wonder what cologne to use for that? But the fragrance that winners have can’t be purchased in any department store. It’s a product of your attitude, your thoughts and actions, which releases the essence of you. That means if you’re insecure, envious, egocentric or afraid, you give off such a strong scent they can smell you a mile off. That bad smell repels people. No one wants to be around something that stinks!

On the other hand, if you’re honest, generous, confident and treat others well, you’ll give off such a wonderful scent that everyone will like and admire you. Make sure you smell like success, and you’ll attract opportunities, situations and people into your life who will help you to triumph in everything you do.
