Are you smiling?

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

What does it take for you to smile? Does something good need to happen to you before you can smile?

Every single day we have a multitude of things for which we can be grateful. There is always a plenitude of things that can bring a smile to our lips. Sometimes we might have to dig a little deeper, search a little harder, but they are always there.  

Stop what you are doing right now. Think back on something that occurred yesterday that brought a smile to your face. Reminisce and smile again. Your day from this point forward can be changed because of this moment of reflected joy. Find a reason to smile; it’s life-changing.
