WHAT DO YOUR Shoes say about you.
To spot a more agreeable person, look for affordable and practical shoes.
People wearing shoes with pointy toes, those that are obviously branded or expensive, mean the wearer is likely to be less agreeable.
Anxiously attached people tend to wear shoes that look brand new.
‘Anxiously attached’ is psychologist-talk for people who are needy.
Naturally, people with more money tend to wear more stylish shoes.
Women, in general, also tend to wear more expensive, branded shoes than men.
People wearing worn out shoes and/or high tops are more likely to be extraverted.
High-topped shoes are also linked to being more conscientious.
HOWEVER MISTAKES MADE WERE…
Colourful, bright shoes did not necessarily belong to extraverted people.
Attractive shoes in good condition did not necessarily belong to conscientious people.
Shabby shoes did not necessarily belong to a liberal!
James 2:1-5 My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?
V. 1 The Lord of glory. Remember its about giving God the attention. Not focusing on others… but on who God is.
V. 5 Poor - destitute of wealth, influence, position, honors; lowly, afflicted
You want to get places in this world? Look after those who seem least influential. Look for the least of these and not the best of these.
A story from my father who tells of a man who walked into a bank in Texas, soiled jeans, dirty hands, muddy boots and a greasy baseball cap. He walked out of the bank and the quickly returned forgetting to get his parking voucher stamped so he did not have to pay for parking. The teller that had helped him had just went on break and it new teller was in his place. the new teller did not believe he was a customer and refused to validate his ticket and even threatened to call the police. The man pulled out his license and demanded to have his bank account liquidated and a check cut. The teller looked at his account and saw that he had millions in his account. Long story short the man walked across the street to a new bank and the teller was fired on the spot.
Everyone has found first impressions and judgements to be misleading. But why do we still do it? Its easier to judge then it is to take time to get to know.
In todays world we need a lot less judgement and a lot more getting to know each other.
