Aesthetics Attract Success “Natural considerations that create beauty and harmony in your world are also important in developing realms and atmospheres that create your world. For example, if you walked into a restaurant that had chipped and worn out furniture, old lighting with bulbs burned out, an odor of garbage, and dirty dishes piled high on the counters, you would probably decide to go elsewhere. They might have the best filet mignon in town, but few people will ever try it. Why? Their aesthetics create a realm of failure. If you drive through the high-end area of your city, you will find the yards are well groomed, the streets are clean, the homes are in good repair and are tastefully decorated. On the other hand, when driving through the poorest areas you often find homes in poor repair, broken vehicles, and trash in yards and driveways. The aesthetics in the area contribute to the establishment of a realm. I knew a single mom who lived in a poor area of town due to restricted budget. The house she could afford to rent was in poor repair, and her landlord refused to offer compensation to improve it. But she was determined to make this house her home and create a nice atmosphere in which to raise her children. She wrote down her “wish list” and prayed over it every day. She cleaned up the yard and repaired what she could. Before long, paint was given to them and with help from friends they painted the house inside and out. They didn’t have much furniture but they fixed the home up to look adorable. Everything was neat and tidy inside and out. They swept sidewalks and porch, mowed the lawn, and planted a flower garden. Here was a little realm of paradise in their unkempt neighborhood. You really noticed their house when you drove down the road. It was different from the others even though many other homes were the same age and model. They gave others on their street a vision of what could be done and before long others had fixed up their homes. This single mom led a few of her neighbors to the Lord. She had carved out a realm of hope in the neighborhood because of a coat of paint and cleaning up the yard. Aesthetics contribute to building realms! Most often the difference between a house and a home is simply aesthetics! Some prisons are painting the walls of the cells pink because they have discovered that the color pink creates an atmosphere of calmness. Colors create all kinds of effects, and that is why marketing psychologists study the influence of colors. Bringing order into a messy office or home makes a difference to the atmosphere. When you have a mess in your house with things out of place, you feel uncomfortable and disgruntled until you clean it up. Then suddenly it is as if a fresh breeze has blown through your office or home, but all that happened was you put things in order. This principle applies to both large and small things, important ones and even not-so-important ones. Everything is better when attractively presented, including the way you keep your area at work, how you present work assignments, and even how you serve ordinary food. Men or women who want to attract a spouse, job applicants, and others should apply aesthetic to their personal appearance. Aesthetics makes a difference … hmmm, think I’ll go and clean my office right now.” - Create Your World (Patricia King) Click “Share” if you want others to read this.
