11 Great Reasons why Smiling makes us More Successful!

Hi friend,



Truly we need to smile more often to help us out, as smiling makes us become easily accessible to the world and gives us hope in making friends.


First: Our smile shows others people that we are friendly.

If a stranger approached you and gained eye contact with you and then treated you to a broad smile you will have a fairly good idea that they are being friendly and certainly mean you no harm.

By contrast we would find it far more difficult to offer trust to the stranger that wears a scowl or unfriendly face features.

Second: A smile can make people happy.
When someone treats you to a smile, even a stranger, you usually smile back. For that moment you enjoy a flash of positive communication without saying a word. As you walk through a crowed area such as a main street you can do this hundreds times in a very short period of time.

When you smile at someone who is not already smiling and they smile back you have brought a moment of happiness into their lives which, who knows, could last all day.

Third: Smiling is infectious.
When you spend a lot in the company of someone who smiles a lot you will soon discover that their smile starts to wear off on you. It is hard not to return a smile; most of us do it at a subliminal level without thinking.

Fourth: Smiling can make you popular.
Which type of people do you prefer? A person that has a tired and listless face. An expression that may reflect their inner thoughts of boredom and worry? Or, would you prefer someone who is always smiling and shows that they have an enthusiastic passion for life.

I think for the majority of us the choice would be obvious!

Fifth: Smiling can help you to make new friends
In the same way few of us would choice a miserable person for a friend. Lets face it we all want someone who is going to be bubbly and a happy and positive.

Sixth: A smile is usually returned
When someone smiles back at you it make you feel good inside. You have just made a short but very positive communication and possibly the first step in the process of getting to know or making friends with someone new.

Seventh: Smiling makes you positive and happy inside.
When you smile it is hard to feel unhappy, negative or sad in anyway. Smiling gives you enthusiasm and drive, it is also habit forming.

Eight: A smile makes you look far more attractive.
You don’t see many celebrities or media personalities that are not smiling because if you did it is fairly certain that their popularity would quickly start to drop!

Ninth: Smiling also helps make you memorable to others!
Have you noticed that smiling people are usually far more memorable than those that are not? It is fact that you are 3 time more likely to remember the person that is smiling over the one that is wearing a negative or neutral features.

Tenth: Most importantly, smiling is good for your health!!!
When you are smiling you find whatever you are doing far easier. It releases stress, worry and tension that you may have built up throughout the day. Long term, developing the smiling habit will be one of the smartest things that you can do to improve most aspects of your life.

Eleventh: The effects of smiling can last for hours
Whatever problems and challenges you have in your life, smiling temporary puts them and hold. For a while you forget the problems and become positive, and while you are in a positive state you have far more potential and power to advance and improve your life.

Lastly: Smiling is FREE!
You are never going to run short of smiles and will always have enough to go around. When you weigh up the positive points of smiling it is a no brainer decision to do far more smiling and share them with as many people as possible.

Keep smiling,

JUST YOUR INSIDE

What is professed what is seen?

Life and the difference faces tray

We say but the heart is gleaned

Who understand that men lay?

The inner man against the outer man

A cry within and smiles without

Against sin cried but closet manned

What is portrayed what is left out?

The inside trays the home call

A little leaven kills the whole

How can time change for all?

The day came for the beginning soul

Just the inside trays the life

For practice makes perfect all

One day the hidden will alight

For nothing change but practice calls

Some very simple rules for success

Did you know that the universe will give and in great abundance if you follow a few simple rules. Too many people believe that all they have to do is just ask and then forget it, nothing could be further from the truth. The law of the universe is just that, a law, which must be followed if you are to succeed. The rules are not hard and do not require a huge amount of brain power to grasp, but once mastered the world can be your oyster. These are the rules as I see them. 1: Do not upset the karma of Mother Nature, it has been well known for many years that there is indeed a universal force out there, that is ever willing to help anyone who asks for its help, BUT don't go insulting it by breaking the every first rule. That rule is, you must not wish for anything that will bring harm to the earth or anything or anyone that resides on it. In other words do not wish harm on your peers or hurt them in any way. Too many people carry a grudge about something that has happen to them, unless you can let the grudge go you will never succeed in life, you see there is a saying that goes like this, Like attracts like. Positive attracts positive, negative attracts negative. So if you are carrying that type of attitude within you, what will happen……… Yes you got it you will attract just what you are carrying. So if your feelings towards something or someone are negative, then you know what the result will be unless you change it. 2: You have all heard the saying 'A Picture speaks louder than words" Well that saying is so very true and I will tell you why, but first we need to take a look at the two states of mind that each of us have, The conscious and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is what we all use everyday of our lives, every waking minute the conscious mind is working, makes the decisions, the day to day choices that it is faced with. On the other hand the subconscious mind works quietly in the background, sees to it that we keep breathing, our eyes to blink, out hearts to continue to beat, All of this is done without any conscious effect on our parts. However the subconscious mind does not stop there, for a start it remembers every word you have ever heard or spoken, every feeling you have ever had, be it good or bad. It knows fear, joy, and happiness, love even hate. One of its jobs is to make sure we get what we want, it does this by interrupting our very thoughts and because we think in pictures, that is what it sees. When you read a book are you thinking in words, or do you have a miniature movies going through our minds yes we all think in pictures. Yes we do think in pictures. The subconscious mind unlike the conscious mind does not make judgments, it does not care if the input we are sending it is negative or positive in content, it makes no distinction, and it will operate on what we feed it, without question. That is a good thing if we are positive thinkers, but not so good if we are negative in nature. We have heard the saying, as a man thinks, so is he. Or we are what we think about all day. Napoleon Hill, in his book "think and grow rich" said it this way "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve" For those who have not read it, I recommend it and if you have read it and never got anything out of it, Read it again, but this time take notice of everything you read and you will discover the secret formula within it's pages. When we think about our goals, our dreams and desires we must see them as actual pictures, we must picture them as actually being the fact, the subconscious does not care, nor does it even check to find out, if what we are thinking is real of just a dream as yet. PICTURES DO MORE FOR OUR MEMORIES THAN WORDS COULD EVER DO 3: How much do we want our dreams and desires???? Yes I know we all want to achieve our goals, but what are we prepared to give to attain them. Are we prepared to give everything to succeed? Are we prepared to make it a obsession, a burning desire to live our dreams everyday of our life, even change our circle of friends if need be. That is the level of commitment we all need if we want to see our goals and dreams come to fruition. Don't get me wrong, this is not really that hard to do, its just a matter of commitment. What do you do when you are interested in a new subject, new project, maybe a new member of the opposite sex comes into your live, do you just let it ride, No you give it all you have to give and more if that's possible, it becomes your one and only thought and interest. Then why not give that level of commitment to your goals and dreams, because that's what the universe expects of you. It's almost like the universe is trying you out, to see if your desire is strong enough to deserve it. But once it gives, it gives in great abundance. How many times have you heard "I would love to drive a Rolls Royce one day, that Porsche or that BMW" yes I think we have all heard that type of thing from our peers, perhaps even from ourselves, But HOW MANY TIMES DO THOSE PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY WANT. I'll tell you what they do get, they get what they expect, what they think they are worthy of nothing more nothing less. So many of us have such a poor self image of ourselves we are happy to except what we can get, when it does not have to be like that. We simply don't expect any more although we would like to get more. Well guess what, who has to expect more and really know that you will get it, Need I say anymore. The universe does not expect more than you have to give, but it does require that you have a top self image and faith that we will get it. If you have those things you will be a success and you will see all your dreams come true. When you write out a list of goals, be very specific about what you want and make it become a real part of you. Or you will never get what you are looking for. 4: You must make your dreams and goals your dominant thought, you must be very careful not to dwell on the negative but always make your thoughts positive, you might say something like this every morning and night, I don't like being the size I am. I hate being like this, I must lose weight soon. Ok you might think those words are positive, but you are still dwelling on the negative. You are still talking about Fat and how you don't like to be like that, instead of being positive by thinking and acting like you are already the weight you want to be, picturing yourself wearing the nice clothes, the way you feel about yourself etc..

If you take the very thing you want in life and make it a dominant thought, tie it all up with a graphic picture in you mind of the way you expect it to be, then you are well on your way to achieving it. You can make it as grand as you like, in fact the greater the better and don't settle for anything less than what you visualize, I repeat don't settle for anything less, you can and will achieve it. The universe is like that it will give without question.

Most people fail to change the way they see themselves, if your goal is to lose weight, then start changing the way you see yourself, instead of continuing to see yourself as FAT. Start to see yourself as THIN, wearing what you like, the perfect weight you want to be, imagine how other people will see you, the comments they will make. How you are going to feel when you have achieved your target. In other words change how you think and see yourself. You are a very special person, there is no other like you in all the world so if your self image is a little lacking, change it. 

CHILDISH VISION

Wet part dry part

All we see is what we want

Childhood and adulthood

What is left of that we want?

Babyhood and manhood

What is dreams what is vision?

Be like the father, like the mother

What is left of proposed mission?

Running here running there

What is compromise what is procrastination?

Breaking the heart cajoling the child

What is what I want you must do?

Heavenly vision earthly vision

What to hold what to leave

Man’s proposal Gods proposal

One must hold for life is brief

CAUGHT IN A TRANCE

Dabbling the sky in heart

Making a name in parts

Sleeping and seeing the starts

Counting but seeing many brothers

Caught in a trance I am

The righteous takes time to shine

The wicked shines few stets tram

But I see only few perfect lines

A door opens for questioning all

Who are you my heart probes it

Men are made to obey growing tall

But I say the wicked stands fit

An echo repels it against my heart

The righteous is justified when alert

But how many are these righteous?

Time and chance alone maim all, us
