Show Your Smile

When people see you, what kind of message are they getting? Are you happy, friendly, good-natured? Or, are you stressed, grumpy, sour and discouraged? Do others want what you have?  

Most of the time people are not listening to what we say; they are watching how we carry ourselves. Many people may not hear our words, but they are reading our lives.  Our joy is not supposed to be hidden; it’s supposed to be seen.  A simple way to display your joy is through smiling. Even through difficulties and unfair situations, decide to display your joy by faith and smile. Don’t wait to feel the joy in order to smile; you may wait forever.  Instead, put your faith out there and smile.  If you will make the decision to brighten up and put on a cheerful smile, you will feel the joy kick in.  You will not only be healthier, but you will get better breaks and see increase and promotion as you demonstrate joy in your life.
