Smile

Have you ever noticed that smiling comes naturally?
    Frowns are always contrived.
        Frowning is against our nature.
            It's a side-effect of our brokenness.

When we smile, we're defying that dark part of us.
    We were made for the light.
        We were created to smile.

It's no fun going through life without expression.
    Blank.
    Apathetic.
Try smiling at the people you see every day.
    Strangers on the street even!
        See what kind of reactions you get.
Be nice and cheerful in your daily interactions.
    Make someone's day!

Stand out.
    Be a light.
        Rebel against the darkness
            in you and in others.

I've found that, in trying to brighten someone, anyone's day,
    I brighten my own
        without even trying.

Let's just try smiling
    and see if we can start a chain reaction.
        and bring light to our broken world
            one broken person at a time.
                Starting now.
                    With you.
                        With me.
                             :)
