The Living Journal - Smiles Are Contagious

Use your smile to change the world,

But don't let the world change your smile.

Sometimes the strongest among us are the ones who smile through silent pain, cry behind closed doors and fight battles nobody  knows about. A smile can lift your spirit effortlessly, we smile because we are happy, and we frown because we are sad. Smiling connects us with others. Our smile interprets as a gesture of trustworthiness and friendliness. 

Smiling tells us it makes us more approachable. Very often we pay less attention to the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn our life or someone's life around. 

Happiness is the essence of life and have the power to brighten our lives. We should try to stop being agonized or always stressful about life, we must do our best to stop worrying, we must stop being anxious and we definitely need to stop trying to be complicated of our life. More often than not, we focus on material things and achievements. This takes away our time, happiness and the appreciation for life in its simplicity. 

We must focus more on the spiritual and emotional aspects of our lives. These bring joy, fulfillment and happiness. It may sound simple, but then again, nothing is impossible unless you try. I have a daily rule, is to give everyone I meet a gift even if it's only a kind word, a smile, or a thank you. I always remember smile is contagious and it’s one of the priceless gifts that you can ever give to anyone.

Thank you for reading, may you find peace and great bliss.
