The Secret To Becoming Irresistible To Everyone Around You

Hint: it has to do with your mouth

The average person will never win a beauty contest. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t have the ability to become incredibly attractive — or maybe even the most attractive person in the world.

In a world driven by visual appearances, we tend to judge beauty and attractiveness through the lens of how much pleasure we get from what we see. But when it comes to individuals, that is a very temporary way to evaluate beauty. Why? Because people age. Beauty fades. What we see today will not be the same thing that we see in 1 year, let alone in 15 or 20 years.

Of course, we can’t argue that attractiveness is dependent somewhat upon how an individual looks. It’s an undeniable component of beauty. But it’s not the biggest component.

The secret to being the most attractive person in the room doesn’t have to do with your makeup regiment, your gym habits, or your tanning schedule. It has to do with your mouth. But it’s not your smile that can make you the most attractive person. It’s your words.

Speak Life

If being attractive really is about providing pleasure in a way that is interesting, charming, and alluring, there is no better way to do that than to commit to speaking life to every person you meet.

What do I mean by ‘speaking life’? Speaking life means speaking words of kindness and encouragement. It means that you take opportunities to instill confidence by calling out the good characteristics of those around you. Speaking life is a commitment to fixating on the positive and not the negative aspects of life.

What people say to us matters. There is great power in positive words. If you want to make someone feel like they are on top of the world, speak positively to and about them.

If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of words that encourage you, cheer for you, celebrate you, or compliment you, then you know what this feels like. You want to spend time around people who build you up. Your heart and your mind are deeply attracted to people who make you feel valuable and worthy.

If you commit to speaking life over the people around you, you’ll find yourself becoming irresistibly attractive and appreciated.

Speaking life gives meaning and purpose. While physical beauty may fade, helping someone discover and keep a strong sense of inner-beauty will never be diluted or diminished.

I love my wife and I think she is absolutely stunning, with beautiful eyes and a radiant smile. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. But her outward beauty isn’t the most attractive aspect of who she is. To me, I am most attracted to the way she makes me feel, the way she is a safe place for my vulnerability, and the way she instills confidence and compassion in my heart through her words and conversations.

She’s a 10. No doubt about it. But she’s attractive because of how she speaks life into those around her.

Encourage, don’t puff up

If you can become incredibly attractive by the way you speak about and to those around you, it needs to be pointed out that attractiveness is never associated with counterfeit praise.

People aren’t always able to tell at the moment, but fake things don’t last. Neither do fake words.

Eventually, your actions either validate or dismantle your claims.

Puffing people up with words that sound nice but that aren’t heartfelt is like putting helium into a balloon. It fills people up, makes them rise for a short time until it wears off and the people drift back down into where they were before.

Giving someone a bunch of air isn’t the same thing as giving them words of substance.

When you speak authentic, genuine words of life into someone’s heart and mind, you make a deposit. It’s like burying a gold bar in your backyard. You dig deep into the soil and you lay down something of importance and value. Over time, the gold, your words of life, just keep getting more and more valuable.

If you want to become the most attractive person you can be, commit to laying down gold bars of positivity and encouragement in the lives of the people around you.

How to speak life

You might like this idea, even buy into it, but still be asking yourself, “how do I do that?” That’s the easy part.

You can speak life into your people in a million ways. You can do it at any hour of the day in any city in the world. All it takes is a little intentionality, selflessness, and specificity.

Speaking life can be as big as sky-writing or as small as a post-it note in a lunchbox. It can be as overt as honoring someone on TV, or as secretive as leaving a gift of encouragement on a neighbor’s doorstep.

Where I work, we just onboarded 19 new interns. Yesterday, I sat down for 2+ hours to write each of them a hand-written welcome note that was specific to who they were and what my hopes were for their time with us over the next year.

Speaking life can be as short as saying two words: you’re incredible. Or it can be writing a novel and showering someone with praise and affection.

If you commit to speaking life into the people around you, you’ll become more attractive. You’ll find yourself surrounded with people who want to spend time with you because they want to be more like you. You’ll have uncovered the secret to providing pleasure and delight, not just visually but in all areas of someone’s life.

Speak up

You can show value and encouragement to people in a lot of ways, but if possible, use words. Speak out and speak up.

Don’t be shy with your positive affirmations. You aren’t soft or weak for saying nice things. Raising someone else up doesn’t mean you are putting yourself down.

Watch, learn, see what people value. Then speak up and fill their tanks. Make it your goal to make everyone around feel like a million dollars. If you do that, you’ll be the most attractive person in the world.
