Are you smiling?

If the answer is no or not right now, why not?

You should always, 24/7/365, be smiling. Even if you don’t feel happy, or you are having a very bad moment or moments.

People judge a book by its cover, which is why we have to tell them not to. But being human is not simple or easy. Smiling gives you your best possible cover. It signals to all those around something positive. Far different from not smiling or even frowning.

It sends out good vibes about you to others.

And this is not just for others, but for you too. Smiling when you are happy is easy.

Smiling when you are not happy is harder and even more important. By doing that, you will start to believe yourself – that you are happy, or at the least should be happier than you currently are. And there is always something you can be happy about.

Always. By smiling, you are going to force yourself to find it, hold it tight and use it to propel to a better place. A place where your smile shines a little brighter.

One of my children was called smiley by some. No matter what or where he was or doing he was always smiling. Good times and not such good times. It is very hard to reprimand someone who is smiling. Try it. Ex. Why are you smiling because you just did something that should be erasing that smile from your face? Do you hear me, are you listening to me? “I can’t help it, I am just a happy person, not a perfect person, but a happy smiling person”. Oy, how do you deal with that after you get over being upset they are wearing the wrong emotion on their face?

Imagine if we all smiled. You can help yourself and others just by smiling. Pass this thought along. A smile on your face – and kindness in your heart (future post) is how we should all travel through life.

Wishes for a great and productive day to all,

Hugs too,
