Have you ever thought about the major benefits of smiling?
Why is it that we smile and is it even useful? I am sure you have gone a whole day without smiling at someone or being smiled at. But what if smiling disappeared from the world? Would it matter?
Let me assure you that smiling is an important thing that we cannot lose. I would even say that it is more valuable than gold and as important to the functioning of life on Earth as water, air, or sunshine.
Allow me to make my case with the following poem given to me by an old friend named Paul.
Smiles
Perhaps you never stop to think
How much a smile can do.
A smile can make a moment bright,
Or help a dream come true.
A smile is like a priceless gift
That can be passed along;
It makes a burden lighter, too,
And often rights a wrong.
A smile can say “I understand,”
Or simply, “I’m your friend.”
A sincere smile can sometimes bring
A quarrel to an end.
A smile cannot be bought or sold,
Or lost, or thrown away.
So why not keep some smiles on hand
To share, day after day!
If you analyze the poem, you will see that smiles do the following things that bring light to our lives:
They celebrate moments.
They put you in a positive state of mind that is conducive to achieving your goals.
They are a gift to be given with a never-ending supply.
They can alleviate stress and hardships.
They can make peace.
They convey empathy and sympathy.
They signal the type of person you are.
They can end war.
They cost nothing and are yet invaluable.
They are abundant and always around us.
They should be valued, treasured and shared.
So dear friend, take note of how smiling is magical and something to appreciate.
In fact, go forth boldly today knowing you have found a universal gift that will enrich you.
Please be sure to like and share this idea of smiling with all those you come into contact with each day! ☺
