While walking last evening, I learnt a very beautiful and important lesson…. I didn’t realize it was that easy and yet so impactful….I am still in awe of that beautiful moment 🙂
I was just walking listening to some podcast, mostly lost in my own thoughts and quite low on energy….then, I stopped….oh, I didn’t see God walking next to me or something 😉 …… I had to give way to a car crossing by and that’s when I lived that magical moment….
Beside me, I saw a mother with her 2 year old daughter in a stroller…. that tiny little baby just looked at me, a quick eye contact and then she showered me with the most beautiful SMILE…. A smile so pure, so real, without any expectations of even a return smile…. I was in awe and remained so for the rest of my walk, thinking about this baby, who without any reason (selfish or otherwise) gave me a precious gift of her SMILE, that actually brought a Smile on my face numerous times after….actually every time I remember about that divine moment, I end up SMILING….
I am sure, most of you can recall such magical moments from your recent experiences too, isn’t it? Like me, do you also wonder….. if it’s that Easy and Simple…. Why can’t we use it more often in our lives and make the day beautiful and memorable for the souls around us?
Trust me my friend, most of the souls around us be it our family members, our peers, our friends, our neighbors, our acquaintances…..are sinking in Negativity in this fast moving world and one SMILE, especially if it is unconditional, can give them a moment of joy, happiness, relaxation, etc. and guess what, it costs you just Nothing….actually, SMILE IS CONTAGIOUS…..if even if Smile forcefully, it can only affect you positively…..NO OTHER SIDE EFFECTS 😉 Wow, what a GIFT, isn’t it!
We are still not fully out of the pandemic but now that we have seen a phase when we had to/have to wear masks quite often, haven’t we missed looking out for these precious Smiles?
It is indeed the best time to realize the importance of SMILE and what value it has especially for those who are going through a rough/tough patch in their lives!
To conclude: We need to value this precious gift of SMILE that we have and it is indeed something which NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY from us and it is a gift that only enhances and grows with SHARING…..Wow, isn’t it great to keep remembering that SMILE is God’s greatest gift to mankind and keep using it till our last breath! So, my friend, keep SMILING and spread it around, for your own happiness and has anyone told you……YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL WITH THAT SMILE ON YOUR FACE 🙂 so…SMILE PLEASE!
