It is so funny how quotes are sent to me by friends at the most consequential time. I laughed when I read this one. This is a great quote and most of the time it is tested and proved positive! Except for yesterday.
I was sitting in my car at a red light and lo and behold my ex drives up next to me. I know he saw me because he glanced over. So I do what I always do when I see someone I know...I smiled and waived. That is just me. However I didn't get a smile or a wave back. He looked away with a scowl on his face. I thought to myself, someone is an unhappy camper.
Moral of the Story. Smile at people even if they don't smile at you. Don't let anyone take that smile away. When you smile, your eyes shine, life shines and your heart feels better. I know this because my little guys smile makes my life shine every single day.
People may try to knock you down from the outside, but the only person that can knock you down from the inside is yourself. Smile at yourself, smile at others....Most of the time you will get a smile back and when you don't it will be the non-smiler missing out, not you.
