Tuesday Gratitude Attitude *New* ~05/10/11

Happy Tuesday everyone.  When writing about the power of the smile and sharing that smile with another I start to think of those who may find it hard to smile much less share a sincere smile with another.  The person with health issues, financial issues, problems with relationships or job security.  The list can go deeper and branch off from here with much depth for many.

 

How do you break down and simplify the goal of Make ME Smile Online which is to:

Provide a place on the Internet to promote, share, develop, entertain and educate its visitors and members that the simple yet powerful result of happiness the 'Smile' can change the broken hearted, the lonely, the sad and help to change not only their world but theworld of others.

One Smile at a Time!

Our goal to develop an online community to help

and conquer the stress that

this imperfect world produces.

 

The human spirit that we know can and

will produce idea's, inspiration and energy that will

carry it through these tough times.

One Smile at a Time!

Thats the mission at Make ME Smile Online and the goals simplified.  But what is at the heart of the smile?

Gratitude

Without it the smile is a facial expression with little sincerity and effect on the giver. Sure the smile may still fake out the receiver but it does not have the same effect as one that has more spark and passion within it.  A smile when genuine has that sparkle and gleam.

I found this article by Elizabeth Scott M.S., at About.com that asks the question Do you have what you want and want what you have?

The article goes on to explain that simply having a lot of possessions does not guarantee happiness as soon the novelty wears off. She goes on to explain the importance of journalling your gratitude on a frequent basis. Sharing with yourself the

importance of appreciation for what you have.

Good stuff and goes into deeper understanding of what I try to explain not just on Tuesdays but through the week.  I hope you take the time to read it.

The video I shared with you yesterday, did you take time to watch it?  Just in case you didn't here it is again, from Brene Brown.

 

I hope you take the time to watch this video again, the vulnerability issue is often at the heart of feeling joy and gratitude.

To understand that bad things happen to good people happens no matter hard we try to avoid it is one part.  But think upon these two quotes, author unknown on both:

“I've learned that good-byes will always hurt,

pictures will never replace having been there,

memories good and bad will bring tears,

and words can never replace feelings.”

******

“Love comes to those who still hope

even though they've been disappointed,

to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed,

and to those who still love even though

they've been hurt before.”

Disappointment happens but it is the belief that we are enough, that our 'Gratitude Attitude' is strong enough to smile through any and all disappointments that is another understanding to grasp hold of.

The last thing to have belief over.

You are more than enough.

You are enough, you have enough to be whatever you choose to be. Not just a cliche' but a fact.

Enough to be loved and to love.

Enough to be happy and share happiness.

Enough to understand that your presence here on earth has purpose.

Enough to make a difference with a kind word, first with yourself each morning and then with another later on down the day.

Enough, more than enough to experience peace and joy of life's gifts.

Share that smile.

Share your love.

Not just with another but with yourself.

Enjoy the day, Enjoy your life, share a smile and make a difference for you and someone else today!

Gratitude Attitude allow it to grow from within and watch it change your day, your life.

Some thoughts on sharing a smile, your smile with so many who come within your circle of influence.

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.
