Are you a Smiler?
Essentially my core belief is that the more you smile the happier you are and the more value you are to everyone around you.
A no-brainer I know but have you noticed that not many adults smile that much, they’re too caught up in the seriousness of adulthood, namely responsibility.
Just because we have loads of things to do and loads of committments to meet doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy life.
Here’s what the Dalai Lama has to say about smiling:
“The smile is a very important feature of the human face. But because of human intelligence, even that good part of human nature can be used in the wrong way, such as sarcastic smiles or diplomatic smiles which only serve to create suspicion. I feel that a genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives. How one creates that smile largely depends on one’s own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that many things depends on one’s own behaviour.”
Just reading that brings a smile to my face!
Bottom line: Whatever makes you smile do more of it and whoever makes you smile see more of them.
I hope I’m on your list!
