I’m an optimistic, no problems just opportunities, no failures just lessons learned, glass half full kind of girl. I smile ALL THE TIME.
Smiling lifts your emotional state and releases feel good endorphins in your body. When your emotional state is lifted you can connect more with your infinite capabilities. You have more clarity to think, focus, take action, and make things happen.
My natural reaction when someone approaches is to smile at them, fully expecting a smile in response. I am always surprised, dismayed and a bit disappointed, when they just look at me and pass by. Don’t they know that smiling lifts you up, and has the same effect on others? I find myself wondering what’s so terrible in their life at that moment, preventing them from smiling back.
Whether you see a stranger stepping off an elevator, an office mate heading to a meeting, or your life partner walking through the door, smile at them. Increase your happiness and theirs. Who knows where that joy might lead? It’s contagious and could really make a difference in someone’s day.
