give a smile to every living soul
TRANSCRIPT
If you want happiness,
if you want to be welcome everywhere,
give every living soul you meet a smile,
an honest to goodness smile,
from down deep inside.
Abraham Lincoln said,
“Most folks are about as happy
as they make up their minds to be."
I know it may sound incredible
that you can cultivate happiness
with a smile, try it, each day this week
Give every living soul you meet a smile
like you’ve never smiled in your life,
even your own spouse and children
and see how much better
you feel and look.
The great philosopher and teacher
Professor William James of Harvard said,
“Actions seem to follow feelings,
but really actions and feelings
go together;
and by regulating the action,
which is under the more direct control
of the will, we can indirectly
regulate the feeling, which is not.”
He continued saying…
“Thus the sovereign voluntary
path to cheerfulness,
if our cheerfulness be lost,
is to sit up cheerfully
and to act and speak as if cheerfulness
were already there.”
Let's see how starting off with a good
15 minute workout of the smile
muscles can help.
Before entering a
person’s office pause
for an instant and think
of the many things you
have to be thankful for.
Work up a great smile,
an honest to goodness
smile. Then enter the
room with the smile
just vanishing from
your face.
It can be easy to
turn on a big
happy smile.
Most of the time
I get the same kind
of smile
in return from
the other person. Larry W. Dennis Sr.
