Share Smiles - By Akhiladevi Kumaran

Just wanted to know has anyone lost their keys before? We all have two keys blessed by God from the moment we were born into this wonderful world! And the beauty and unique aspects of those keys are - “ONLY HUMANS ARE BLESSED WITH THOSE KEYS!”

 

Any guesses on what are those keys? Smile & Speech..Yess…especially the key even dumb souls do possess is “S-M-I-L-E”

 

Smile  is the key that fits the lock of everybody’s hearts! Those are not my words - Anthony J.D’Angelo and I completely endorse that!

 

 

In the current pandemic situation, spreading smiles -though not visible when you are wearing a mask(1), could still reach out the persons you intend to, by smiling eyes, sweet words of kindness-smiles work magic though miles apart!

 

Smile is the universal language of kindness;

Smile is the curve that sets everything right;

Smile intimidates those who wish to destroy you;

 

To me , smile is a safety belt in your car journey of life…It can hide so many feelings. Fear, sadness, heartbreak…But it also shows one other thing, strength.

 

“One smile” can start a friendship;

 “One word” can end a fight;

 “One look” can save a relationship -

 

 

So, Wear your seatbelt now…and join my journey to My smiley corner!!

Well, my smiley corner in the world would be to not just smile - but also spread smiles and wish to make it a chain of events and not just to one recipient!

 

My few recommendations to “spread smiles” would be :

** Take a dull/sad person for a coffee  and….

 

 Give them a Boost- I mean boosting words to lift their spirits!!

Well, if they don’t like chocolate/cadburys brand,  I would still insist to go for a drink(with or without sugar - its upto the person’s diabetic level -:)..That too 10% extra!!!!

 

 

** Leave a generous tip with a nice note in the coffee shop when you return….

** Give a homeless person/jobless person in pandemic -some money/gift a food kit/ offer a meal

** When free, visit any hospital/elderly home to talk/do crafts/to engage

** Make a gift instead of buying one

** When you finish reading a book/whatsapp quote you know someone would enjoy reading them- pass it on

** Give someone an unusual compliment

** Keep mouth shut sometimes and listen to someone when they need to talk(See- Listening is also a noble quality and gift someone needs!!!)

** Put your phone down(literally down!!) in social situations/back home in sofa, make eye contact and LAUGH OUT A LOT- even to the extent of ROFL!!

So why not wear an “awesome smile” with me…Why not spread smiles with “awesome word” with that “awesome look” on your pretty face??!!!

Above all, Its FREEEEEEEEE!!!!! 

 And for those who have been tracking whether I reached ten points or not— if any of you have been counting physically or mentally to only NINE-  you are stunning and super smart…yessss…I am yet to share my tenth point….and here it is…

 Give genuine compliments, heartfelt applause when someone shares something so sweet like me(!) or better than me 😆 for you!!

Stay safe-keep smiling!!
