THE POWER OF A SMILE

When I'm in-field, I find it so much easier to approach and be approached if I have a smile on my face.  If I'm in a good mood, or rather a great mood, I can converse with anyone.  Conversation just flows so freely when you're filled with positivity.  Positivity is contagious.  I know of a few people in my life who just have a natural tendency for radiating positivity at all times.  It's not that they are trying to, it's just their natural way of life.  These people have some of the most fulfilling careers, relationships, and friendships of any I've ever seen.  Shit happens to people that makes them have a negative outlook on life.  Believe me, I know.  It's not what has happened to you but how you handle it.  I know of some of the most physically disabled people in the world who have some of the most fulfilling lives imaginable.  I'm not saying that it's easy to have and live these kinds of lives.  In fact, it can be down-right miserable sometimes trying to have the kind of life you imagined.  But it's worth it.  Every ounce of pain and turmoil endured to achieve a worth-while goal is worth it.  Try to force a smile as much as you can.  It will actually make you a happier person.  This has been a message about life.  Signing off.  Cheers.
