Smile

Today I wanted to share with you an experience I had last week.  I think we can all admit there are days where we feel unmotivated; maybe deflated; or discouraged.  While, I was experiencing one of these days last week.  I was trying my best to not let these thoughts and feelings in....not let them take over my day.  I know "I have control over the outcome of my day."  So on my way to share the opportunity I decided I needed to 'smile'.  So 'smile' I did!  I smiled during the entire 10 -15 minute drive it took me to get where I was going.  Wow! What a difference in how it made me feel. I continued smiling, when I got out of the car to walk to where I was going.  People smiled back at me.  I felt so much better and continued to do so for the rest of the day.  I have also found through my experiences that when I am making calls that if I smile while I am speaking it comes through in your conversation.  You just sound happier!  People enjoy speaking to you.  People like to associate themselves with happy people.

So....like I read on a bookmark a clerk at the secondhand book store gave me ....

"Smile awhile---and while you smile another smiles! And soon there are miles of smiles and life's worth while because you smile!" ---Unknown

Have a happy week!
