Smile and they will come

I was watching people at work and at the end of the day I confirmed what is a well-known knowledge. This well-known knowledge is forgotten and maybe sometimes ignored.

Let me do a quick introduction before I tell you what it is.

There are 3 kind of people in your life:

  1. People that you like or are drawn to
  2. People that you do not like or barely tolerate
  3. People that you do not remember/notice or, so called, invisible people

There is only one thing in common or different about these people.

When you meet somebody, it takes you only a few seconds either to like them on not like them or not care for them.

Most of the time it is their personality. I do not mean their values or beliefs or convictions. They do not even need to talk.

I am talking about smiling and having a positive presence about them. The more you smile, the more open you are, the more relaxed is your non-verbal communication.

You feel attracted to positive, smiling people and you tend to avoid angry, scowling or tensed up people.

All it takes is some sense of humor and a genuine smile. No kidding. Start smiling. Find something funny in your head and start smiling.

Once you start smiling, you will infect other people and they will come back for more.

    Very well stated Dace… I am one of the invisibles… but I smile at people every where I go… I mostly pick out the sad faces… the one’s whose eyes are cast to the ground… the ones who look lonely… The response is nearly always amazing… It changes their facial expressions completely and I often get the sense that they will pass that smile on to someone else who is in need of one. Their change of expression always brightens my day as well. Thank you for shining the light of the smile on others…
    Hope your evening is most beautiful

      Thanks Michael for kind words. Smile does amazing things. It is even better if you target people who really need it.
      And thanks for making a difference in this world.
