Where is Your Smile?

Did you lose it? Is it taking a vacation? Maybe it is just on a temporary leave of absence.
You need to get it back, and quickly!
That smile is really your best friend in the world. It can take you anywhere that you want to go. That's because it is the real "driver" for your positive personality. When you have a smile on your face you automatically take on a bright disposition. And the disposition is extremely contagious.
Others pick up on it.
And people want to be a part of whatever is behind that smile.
Watch what happens when you consciously smile at someone. You will often see that your smile will get "copied" by someone else, who in turn passes it on to someone else - and on and on and on.....
And you started the entire chain of events.
Look at that!

Look Up

Look Up.
No, we're not talking about the sky. Not about something that you cannot see. Not to some sort of higher power. It's right there in front of you. It's the other people in you life. Look up to them. All of them.
Everyone has something to say to you in some way. Hear them. Watch them. Keep an eye out, for you do not want to miss anything important. From the young child to the teenager to the person experiencing mid-life all the way up to the most senior of citizens. Be on the lookout, because there is something that you can learn from each of them in their various stages.
Do you think that you know it all or that you've got everything figured out? This is a reminder that you don't. Arrogant? Condescending? There can be no room for these traits once you truly realize that you have only scratched the surface - no matter the subject or issue. There is always a new angle. Be open to see it, and seek to understand it.
Keep growing.
Keep learning.
And be open to the possibilities that other people in your life are putting in front of you.
Look up to them.

Build Them Up

It sometimes seems as though the easiest thing to do with many of the people with whom we come into contact is to look for the negative aspects about them. Almost seems natural in many cases. And it is extremely easy to do. Because everyone has shortcomings, limitations. Some of their foibles are downright funny. The natural reaction is to pounce on these qualities and to give them more prominence than is their due.
Look for the good traits!
Emphasize them!
Bring them out!
That is the key to making others more happy and self confident about themselves. And it goes a long way toward seeing the good things in others - which allows us to gain as well. Truly a win-win situation.
