“A man without a smiling face must not open a shop”…

Thought of the day:

This is a bit of advice from the essayist and publisher Elber Hubbard- but remember, examining it won’t do you any good unless you apply it:

“Whenever yo go out-of-doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then, without veering off directions, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away  you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tied the element it needs.Picture in your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought you hold is hourly transforming you into that particular person… Thought is supreme. Preserve a right attitude – the attitude of courage, frankness, and good cheer. To think rightly is to create. All things come through desire and every sincere prayer is answered. We become like the crown of your head high. We are gods in the chrysalis.”

Your smile is messenger of you good will. Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it. A smile can help people realize that all is not hopeless- that there is joy in the world.

Have a great week!
