What makes you smile? Is it a word, a certain song, an activity, a special some one? I believe that smiling is one of the greatest abilities of mankind. “A day without smiling isn’t worth living.” This topic may sound so random, so absurd, but to me, it’s tremendously important to me. Smiling and laughing are the highlight of my day. No matter how gloomy, depressing, unproductive my day may be, I must have at least 30 minutes of just laughter.
So you may be wondering, what do I do to make myself smile? First of all, every morning when I get up, I try REALLY hard to have an upbeat, positive attitude. I wake wanting to get up, get my day started, and face what the day will offer. So one of the best ways of possessing such an attitude is simply looking at yourself in the mirror and smiling. I know, sounds weird. People may think you’re weird for smiling at your reflection, but hey, you can smile at them if they comment, which thus might just make their day.
One of the most beautiful images ingrained in my mind are images of babies smiling. I love it. It really does make my day. Why? Because babies are so genuine in their smile, they give off a brightness that illuminates when they smile. It’s enough to make my day.
The greatest thing is that just one smile from a total stranger can just make some one’s day. Doesn’t it feel good when you randomly walk by some one and you’re feeling so happy inside that it shows from the glow on your face? To me, it’s one of the most encouraging things that may seem so insignificant, but actually matter so much.
And the thing is, no one can ever get enough of smiles. I know for myself, I get discouraged when just one person doesn’t smile back at me when I may randomly smile when some one passes me. But it really shouldn’t be like that. The previous Monday, at Make Your Mark on Madison, we discussed the important of smiling. And it was amazing how many people actually love smiling at random people while walking. I do believe that smiling is truly one of the greatest charities ever.
Sooo, SMILE!
