Life Styles: How Treatment Shapes Identity
A Social Healing Piece by Inkfluence of Art – #INK
Have you ever watched someone rise to fame or fortune and seem to transform before your eyes?
It’s not just the money.
It’s not just the fame.
It’s the treatment.
At Inkfluence of Art, we believe refinement is a reflection of how someone is received by the world around them. When a person is treated as valuable, as intelligent, as beautiful, as worthy of care, they begin to carry themselves accordingly.
This isn't about wealth—this is about respect, dignity, and belonging.
The Subtle Power of Being Seen
When a person shops in a store where the lighting is flattering, the staff are warm, and the products are beautifully presented—they feel wanted.
When they attend an event where the language is inclusive, the space is accommodating, and their presence is welcomed—they feel valued.
And when they are spoken to like they matter—they begin to believe it.
This is what most services, industries, and programs overlook.
They build around status, not humanity.
They reserve quality for wealth, not need.
They tailor care for the few, not the many.
And in doing so, they miss the power they hold to uplift lives through simple shifts in how people are treated.
The Everyday Divide
Even when someone "lower status" can afford a luxury—say, a day at a high-end spa or boutique—they are often treated like an intruder. Watched. Judged. Dismissed.
The same individual, if they walked in famous or rich, would be greeted with smiles and service.
What changed?
Nothing about the person. Only how others responded to them.
This social split reinforces harmful narratives:
That wealth equals worth.
That style is substance.
That struggling people deserve less care, lower quality, harsher tones.
And it hurts everyone.
It’s Not Just About Access. It’s About Atmosphere.
What we’ve learned through our healing art life coaching at Inkfluence of Art is this:
The human nervous system responds to inclusion. To being wanted. To beauty, comfort, and respect.
When someone is surrounded by quality, patience, and encouragement, their brain and body calm.
They become open to learning, healing, growing.
They begin to refine—not because they’ve changed—but because the environment stopped punishing them.
Our Call to Industry, Services, and Social Programs:
As part of our All In – June 2025 Campaign, we are raising awareness on the critical importance of how we treat people, not just what we offer them.
If your program serves the public:
Audit your tone and approach.
Rethink your spaces—do they say “you matter”?
Refuse to offer scraps while delivering gold to the elite.
Uplifting service is not an expense—it’s an investment in a more connected and humane world.
Healing Begins With How We Treat Each Other
If every store clerk, receptionist, case manager, teacher, or community leader took the time to meet people where they are and treat them like they belong, the ripple effect would be profound.
We’d see:
More confidence.
Better self-care.
More joy.
Less crime.
Less division.
We all rise when everyone is treated with honor.
