You can’t judge a book by its cover…
Have you ever heard this term before? Do you know what it really means? It basically means that you can’t judge a person by what you see.
Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been looking at first impressions. Even though you can’t determine what someone is like just by looking at them, we all try to do it anyway. As soon as we see someone for the first time we decide what we think of them, before we get to know them properly.
That is why it is so important to be aware of our behaviour at all times. There is always someone watching, making an opinion of us even without knowing us. Is this fair? Not really, but it happens anyway.
As you go out, think about the fact that people are watching you and making an opinion of what they think you are like. Are they liking what they see, or have they already decided you are not worth knowing?
You can’t judge a book by its cover, but sometimes you can get a pretty good idea…
Shalom!
