My Quest for Peace - Day 39
People have often commented on how often I smile - even at the retreat people noticed I smile a lot. It was something I learned a long time ago way back when I was in elementary school. There were popular girls and I was not one of them. After I was put down and nearly in tears by them, one of my favorite teachers asked me if I could show her my beautiful smile. Even though I didn't feel like it - I did. Well I realized a lot of the sadness and hurt went away and my thoughts focused on more positive things.
Even today reading the passage I was upset and stressed about some things and when the book said to smile - I did and amazingly I felt a lot better. I also learned at one of my first technical support jobs that the customer can "hear" your smile. They even gave us a mirror to remember to smile so the customer would "hear" it. But it is true since if you are in a bad mood and you smile a real smile, you suddenly are not in that same mood and that is what the customers hear.
So when people wonder why I smile a lot -it really is so that I feel better - besides a smile is infectious and the more people smiling the more there is positive energy in a place. The more positive energy and the better the world is.
