“I will smile with my heart today.”
There are schools of thought that believe that all healing is held in a single smile. Could this be true? Could the simple act of smiling make the world a better place? What if, instead of frowning at someone or something that we perceived as disturbing or disruptive today, we gently smiled?
What if when we wanted to make a situation better and we couldn’t think of the words, we just quietly smiled? What if we wanted to convey something beautiful and loving to someone and the right thoughts to express this eluded us and so we took the other person’s hand, softened our eyes and smiled into theirs? What if we looked in the mirror and saw the hurt and sadness in our own eyes and we turned that around by giving ourselves a confident and loving smile?
Our smile …
…lifts hearts and heals minds,
…brings comfort and calm reassurance.
…can help heal our relationships.
…promotes healthy bodies.
…sends ripples of loving energy to the giver and the receiver.
…conveys kindness, gentleness and forgiveness.
…radiates joy and love through us and into the world.
A smile is perhaps the simplest and most powerful form of communication. It dissolves language barriers because it is a sign of peace and friendship everywhere. A single smile holds within it the promise and the power of the Divine Universe. So today, let’s do something wonderful for ourselves and all the world . Let’s open our heart, clear the clutter from our mind and smile, smile, smile.
Breathe and smile.
So true, Sharie. A big, warm smile instantly eases tension. It is a sign of friendship, even when we don’t know the person we’re smiling at. Thank you for this reminder to smile more.
