Right Fit

Today, my socks and underwear fit really well.  Some days, one or the other doesn’t.  On bad days, neither do.

You can get away with socks and underwear that don’t fit well because other people can’t see them.  As for your outerwear, it’s harder to hide something that doesn’t fit the right way.  People notice.  Some might even speak up.  If nothing else, provided you’re not totally oblivious, you’ll probably notice yourself…eventually.  At some point, you retire the item that doesn’t fit.  If you need to do so, you replace it.  You go to a store, try a new one on, and buy it.  Or maybe you go online to Land’s End, like I like to do, and just buy another of the same thing you bought last time.  Maybe you choose a different color.  Maybe you don’t.  Regardless of how you do it, when an article of clothing, from foot to crown and all points in between, doesn’t fit, you get rid of it.  Done.  Gone.  Change.

Then why on Earth should you put up with the non-literal things in your life that don’t fit?  If right thinking and right action are important aspects of achieving happiness in life and helping others, surely, so is right fit.
