Smile

perspectives Jan 23, 2019

When do we lose our innocence?

Children are born with a sense of purity. They smile, they play, they feel joy. We can keep that joy alive with a simple smile.

Children remember how people made them feel.

There are times after that innocence has been lost where you can change a person's day by smiling at them. Giving them back a piece of that joy.

Here is a challenge: 

Make an extra effort to smile at people. What are the results you get? Did they smile back? How did it make you feel?
 
If people don't smile back, it may be because they are dealing with anxiety, stress, or some type of other emotional chaos.
 
This challenge could trigger you to think about the kind of life you are living and want for yourself.

Do you want to be:

A person who has gratitude for the kindness of others and appreciates their surroundings?
OR
A person that lives in their chaos?
