Smile and Change Your Moment

Are you having a tough time, things not going the way you’re expecting? Maybe you’re tired, and still have quite a bit still to do. Been a long, long seminar and you still have 3 or 4 hours to go, picking up your child from school and realize you have some bad attitude left over from work, pulled into the driveway and know you have to be focused for the evening of family do. I have the easiest of ways to help that problem, The Smile for You poem.
"If you see a friend without a smile - give him one of yours" Proverb

Carry this poem on a small business card, or better yet memorize this little poem and when you need a little change in attitude to accomplish a particular goal, a little bit more focus to get the job done this will make a difference. A person always does a better job, has a clearer head, more enthusiasm when they have a positive attitude. Want to have some fun with this, print it on the back of your business card, and pass it on each time you give one out, watch as people take a second to read it and then smile – it works.

But, mostly taking a moment to pass the smile back to yourself when you’re struggling this is the best way to make an immediate change in your attitude.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh


Smiling is infectious; you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling to.

I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin,
when he smiled I realized I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile then I realized its worth,
 
a single smile, just like mine could travel around the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected
let’s start an epidemic, quick, and get the world infected!
