Have you ever met a person with a smiling face? The one who seemingly keeps smiling all the time even when he does not mean to, or when he is actually not in his best. How do you feel being close to such buddy? Feeling comfortable, right? Just fine with who you are without worrying to be an unintended one. He welcomes you, not demand you to become someone else who he would favour. And you would automatically do the same thing, being his good fellow who would not dare to hurt him.
This expression, the smiling face, may be a gift for a few people who were truly born with natural smiles on their faces. It may reflect the pureness of their hearts. But it doesn't mean that we can not stretch our lips to form such a beautiful expression.
A smile is like a stretchable arm which can be flexibly extended to gently touch the human’s very essential part, the soul. Let’s see what the smile can do.
1. Warming
How do you feel when in the morning someone greet and smile at you? It seems that the whole day will be filled with good things. It could ease the feeling, make it lightened. Not only for the one who receives the smile but also for the person whose the smile himself. Then it will attract positive energy and attention around us and make us be attractive too. Isn't it great?
2. Encouraging
Every person might have a very fragile part in his heart, no matter how tough he is, and how hard he tries to hide it. He could be very weak in some way, feel hopeless and desperate due to a failure or a loss. The smile can rest around one’s shoulder to give a hug to the frail soul and settle down the restless feeling. It could rekindle the spirit and brighten that almost faded life.
3. Reconciling
When there is a broken relationship that should be repaired, the sincere smile would do the best. It is like melting an ice block into a soluble liquid. It would reduce tension between the warring parties, and break layers dividing superiors and inferiors.
So, just smile without expecting any return because the smile is already rewarding in its own way. Do not care about the response you would get. That’s not the point. The matter is how you become a truly delightful and delighted person delivering your bright and unaffected smile to others.

Just Smile, thank you :). It's simple but we might not pay much attention to its power, so we sometimes forget to smile...or maybe how to smile :D.
Thank you, Luzzi and Deepa. Luzzi, it's a great idea to start our day with smiles, smiling at a timid sun in the early morning, or at the wet flowers in our small garden while thanking Lord for another day we are going to have. Deepa, we all can have that gift! Just soften our heart to create that simple but special gift for ourselves and others. :)
