Smiling Happy

Happiness depends on what you can give , not what you can get....Gandhi

There is more to life than the everyday stress of living. Stress can rob you of all your good thoughts, feelings and outlooks.

Beginning today I want you to see yourself as the beauty you are. I'm not talking hair, eyes or even body shape. I want you to see the beauty within. If you aren't sharing that beauty with yourself, then you know no one can see it either.

You have no idea of how amazing you really are. Things you see as nothing could mean a lot to people if you would share them. Start with your smile. Give it to everyone that comes in contact with you. The mailman, the street cleaner, your neighbor, even the woman on the street corner with the barking dog.

Then tomorrow I want you to nod your head as you smile. Give the people you are smiling at the acknowledgment that you see them, that they are important to you. Within a few days I'm sure these people will not only be waiting to see your smile, but waiting with a smile for you.
Little successes like smiling at strangers and being smiled back at, add up to a successful day. Keep adding small things to your routine of smiling and nodding, like waving to the ones across the streets. Whisper good morning to the barking dog, watch him get closer and quiet down under the beauty of your smile.

There is always a reason to smile, dig deep until you find one. Soon you will see something new blooming in you, something wonderful to smile about.
