People make different types of New Year Resolutions. Some want to get healthy, others think of shifting to a better house while a few others think of changing their habits for good. But I have never seen anyone who has made a firm resolution of being happy for his lifetime or who has decided to keep smiling come what may.
I have noticed that there are two types of people in this world, one who always carry a smile on their faces while people belonging to the second group always look grumpy. However, people enjoy being in the company of people who belong to the first category because they also make everyone in their surrounding happy.
Smile could be the simplest way to restore happiness in our life, and in some cases even bring people out of the state of depression. When we smile, we can feel the beautiful flowers and the fluffy clouds smiling back at us. We might not even realise but our smile can make other people forget their tensions.
However, there are people who do not like it that way. Whatever be the situation, they remain grumpy. They should understand that life is very short. Instead of finding reasons for crying, they should find reasons to smile.
One just needs to widen his mouth and he will see the world with a whole new perspective. Instead of cursing his work, he will start feeling that work helps him in learning new things. It is also quite common to find people blaming loneliness for their sadness that affects their work. But one must realise that loneliness also develops one’s creativity.
I have often seen people saying that they do not smile because they cannot find a reason.
They remind me of the famous saying, “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
