Someone commented yesterday that when you freely give your smile to someone, you are almost always greeted with a wonderfully warm smile in return. That's what I'm talking about. What you offer to the world, comes back to envelope you.
If you are the negative Nellie, there is a darkness and a solitude that follows you. When you open your heart and give of it freely, positive encounters and happenings fill your days. You cannot help someone else with actually helping yourself. Your generosity of reaching down, helps in the raising up of others. What a wonderful exercise for body and soul.
When you offer your assistance, know that when you are in need there will surely be another soul there to offer his/hers to you. What you need to understand is that that assistance may not be exactly what you were hoping for . . . but it is EXACTLY what you NEED! Turn your frown upside-down. It is the easiest and most uncomplicated way to improve your attitude!
So give it up! Give it a shot today. If each of you who read this, goes out and spreads a little sunshine to someone else, and they in turn do the same, imagine the effects your tiny little actions could have within twenty-four hours. You will have ~ by your own little self ~ made an impact that could literally span the globe!
I completely agree! I do this all the time... it is the rare situation that you are greeted back with negativity, but it does occasionally happen. My suggestion is to just keep smiling, even if they are Negative! They will look back at the situation later on and say why did I do that! You never know what your smile or kind word can accomplish!
ReplyDeleteAh yes - smile anyway! What a beautiful idea! :-)
