Recently I had second thoughts about Shopping for clients. When I shop at malls, all I saw were seas of people with screaming kids. Rude shoppers, rude workers and rude drivers. Shopping in weekends agitated me. I went to Sporting Life quite a few times, and if I had go one more time I'd kill myself. Shopping these weeks with frantic Christmas shoppers and Christmas songs blasting through the malls made me hate the holidays. I thought maybe I didn't want to go through this anymore. Shopping in malls felt like shopping in hell.

However, today, I remember why I am an Image Consultant.

I booked an early shopping trip with a client. Shopping this early with only a handful of people around keeps the mood pleasant. I found everything for this client in just 4 stores in 2 hours. As I looked at the client trying on the new clothes, I remembered my mission: to see and reveal beauty in people. I was so happy when I saw how wonderful the client looked in the new outfits. I felt excited at the new possibilities for him.

Seeing beauty in people makes shopping enjoyable.

(just no more Christmas carols, please!)
