Smile at the world

My mum always used to say to me;

“Smile at the world and it will smile back at you.”

It was a good thought to send me to school with and one I particularly remember today. When you are open and feel happy, you radiate such a lovely positive energy people will respond to you without even thinking.

Don’t believe me?

Give my suggestion a try. Spend today smiling at people – walking down the street, in the queue at the supermarket, in the park, at the office. Wherever you come across a stranger, smile at them. Make it a lovely big smile rather than a shy grimace.

I would bet my last penny; most people will smile back, and it will make you feel good.

Don’t feel like smiling?

Maybe you don’t feel there is much in your life to smile about. But just give it a try anyway. In my experience, smiles breed smiles and with each extra smile you will feel more positive, connected to others and generally have a greater sense of well-being.

The stranger you are looking at may need a smile.

How we are and the energy we naturally radiate affects those around us. A stranger may be feeling sad, or lonely or many other emotions that can make you feel down. Your smile can help to uplift them in the moment you face each other. What a lovely gift to give someone. Remember to

Smile at the world and it will smile back at you.

So how does this work?

Whether you believe in the Law of Attraction or not, it still operates.  Universal energy, if nothing else, is consistent and reliable.  We connect with universal energy through our emotions.  Therefore, if you are an angry person who is aggressive in the way you live your life, the universe will send you angry people and situations.  Likewise, if you are a loving person, you will attract loving people and situations.

By consciously smiling you are radiating a gently, loving energy which is why other people respond and smile back at you. As you connect to universal energy with love, it is further amplified. The person you smiled at will feel better and may then smile to another person. And so, the smiles and loving energy goes on….

In a world full of chaos, each of us can add love to our world with just a little thoughtfulness and very little effort. What a difference it would make.

Smile at the world and it will smile back at you.
