How Getting Dressed is Like Succeeding on Steemit

Your alarm goes off and you begin your morning ritual: coffee, feed yourself, shower, feed the two legged and four legged little ones. The news says the weather is backing traffic up so you begin to move a little faster. You grab a shirt, slacks and a jacket, yank them on, and rush out the door.

You brave rush hour and speedwalk into work, hoping the boss doesn't see that you are a few minutes late. The room quiets and your face heats as you realize they are all staring at you.

You slip into the restroom to compose yourself and notice your reflection. Your jaw drops in horror.

In your mad rush to get out the door you never looked in the mirror. You cannot believe what you are wearing, nothing matches and you look like a scrub. But, the damage is done- there is no fixing it now.

Its a simple premise but one that can be overlooked during excitement or time pressure.
