Your smile is your logo.
There's a song that says;
The time to be happy is now, the way to be happy is here, the way to be happy is to make someone happy. We've got a little heaven right here.
When I first heard that song when I was still a little girl trying to understand the things of this world I was moved. I remember vividly that I went to my mom and asked her to write out the lyrics to me and ever since I've not forgotten the lyrics of that song.
As a little girl, I was the bright type always smiling even after being scolded by an elder. When I was wrong and knew my mom would scold me, I would play, smile and jump all over her just so she could calm down and not ground me because I hated to be locked up. I grew up with that concept and it has helped me overcome depression a lot.
I was nicknamed "smiler" by my aunt and almost everyone started calling me smiler because I always beamed with a smile and people thought I never had life problems but I did.
I learnt something during the course of life's journey which is:
Happiness is not having what you want, it is appreciating what you have.
This was a formula I used to overcome sadness. I chose to stay happy and bear the name "smiler" because I know that I'm in total control of my life, attitude and effort.
If I slacked or got a little moody it was my choice and I had the power to change it. I chose to stay happy and trust me I influenced a lot of people with that attitude.
One of my highschool mates once asked me why I'm always happy and I told her that I couldn't afford to stay gloomy when I didn't have enough reason to.
There are people out there who are facing worse things in life and need an assurance that all will be fine from someone who has positive vibes even when facing the same challenge. It aids people from doing crazy things.
No matter what I face, my happiness is my priority and I've also decided to be the reason someone else smiles on a daily basis. You can make happiness your priority too!
Happiness lies within. It Wells up from the inside and overflows to the outside when you let it out.
Choose to be the most beautiful version of yourself inside and out and watch out how you'll glow in unending happiness all the day of your life.
Each beautiful day is a great opportunity to stay happy because when you're happy you'll always smile and your smile will become your logo.
Stay happy today and everyday. I know you got this🥰.
These are words of wisdom and you have just made my day! Indeed, our happiness is not in the hands of another but in ours. We owe it to ourselves to stay happy and smiling or else the problems of this world will pull one down!
I knew you are a 'smiler' right from your first comment on my post. 😄 Keep smiling and spreading your positive vibes around. Happy new week! 😊
Awwn🙈. I'm so glad I could.
Hehehe. And I'm smiling once more 😁😁.
Thanks a lot. A happy new and fruitful week to you too.
A smiler? There was this guy I used to buy things from in Port Harcourt that used to call me that, now I know why you are in my circle.
Smiles.. I sure am in that circle you know 🥰
No one holds out happiness if we take a good look at it. Out happiness is in out hands. Be happy.
Have a great day dear tekno... Sorry I mean @teknon
Thanks for the name correction 😂. Cheers
Cheers dear.
Honestly, you have chosen the right approach to life and that is staying happy. Being gloomy only brings more misery, but then how do you manage to stay happy when things get bad?. Yes, sometimes we may resolve to not be troubled by any circumstances, but there are many bad event that happen to people dear to us which affects us indirectly. Can you give out practical steps?
Smiley is a nice name anyways.😃
Smiles. Whenever things happen to me which should get me into a sad shell, I listen to a good hip hop song and dance till I'm sweating and then when that's over I am back to the normal me. That's just how my life is. It can work for anyone as long as it's in your blood to not hold on to something for too long.
Listening to hip hop song, wow, that's a new strategy. I may adopt this system of yours. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure 😊
