GIVE THE WORLD A SMILE
GIVE THE WORLD A SMILE
By Dare Ishola
There is something we all do every time which I such a great medicine to the heart and soul to relieve stress, cure headache, and even alleviate hypertension but we often don’t see this aspect of it.
Engaging in this activity produces well-documented physical benefits similar to those obtained through vigorous physical exercise. What is this remarkable activity? Believe it or not, it’s LAUGHING.
Laughter is good for you and laughter helps with good health – this fact was well understood by King Solomon “A merry heart does good like medicine” Proverbs 17:22.
Dale Carnegie said that the expression you wear on your face is far more important than the clothes you wear on your body. The smile on your face matters to people around you giving them the impression whether you are approachable or not.
A smile costs nothing but creates much. It enriches those who receive it without impoverishing those who give it. It happens in a flash and the memory of it lasts forever. It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business and neighbourhood relationship.
It cannot be bought, begged for; borrowed or stolen because it is not earthly good to anybody until it is given away. It even helps in making you stay healthy. It makes you look younger and it naturally and easily attracts people to you.
You can never go wrong with smiling because the world needs it and someone depends solely on it for survival.
NOTE: You can’t do much about the length of your life, but you can do a lot about its depth and width. By your words, actions and looks. Brighten someone’s day all the time.
