You don’t have to be beautiful; you just have to walk as if you were. - Sherry Conway Appel in From Mother to Daughter: Advice and Lessons for a Good Life

~~~~~

Your walk is the way you are most often moving through the world…it says a lot about you. As Sherry Conway points out…you don’t have to be - ‘you just have to walk as if you were.’

Do some people watching to confirm the notion for yourself? 

• What do you think when you see a person walking with their eyes firmly on the ground in front of them or someone that shuffles their feet?
• Pick a person that has a confident walk. If you saw a still picture of them, would you have the same impression?
• Alternatively - have you ever seen a picture of someone then met them later and found your first impression of them from the picture at odds with your second impression?

So - whatever you want to be - ‘Walk as if you were’ is very sound advice.
