I have MY reason to smile!

I was often told, that when I'm the happiest, my small, almond eyes talk!

When I'm happy; the nose creases, the brows wrinkle with crow's feet, the dimples hollow out - and the eyes glitter!

But sadly, I chose not to tell them - that my eyes speak volumes, always. Not only when I'm happy.
It's just that, people look at me only when I'm happy, and so they are oblivious to my eyes' chatter otherwise!

Of course, all of us want to be around happy and bubbly people - people full of life!
But often, what most of us don't realise is that, it takes a 'real' person to be the reason for someone else's happiness!

Just because I'm talking to you happily, doesn't mean 'you' made me happy.
There could be somebody, sitting afar, who brought that smile on my face!

To be the reason for someone's happiness, needs a lot of patience, courage and resolution.

Being a part of someone's happiness is just the by product. The real disembarkment is to be the reason for that pretty smile on their face!

Nobody likes to see a grumpy face.
Smiling, and laughing faces are what attracts people.
So, instead of complaining about someone's sulky face - try and bring a smile on their face!

While you find YOUR reason to smile, be the SMILE on someone else's face!

You never know - just a simple, small gesture from your side could make somebody's day!

And on days when you can't find a single reason for yourself to smile, just look at your parents - at their selfless love and devotion!
I think that should be reason enough to smile the biggest one!

Let's spread happiness and positivity!

The world already has enough reasons to make us feel uneasy!
Let's find just one reason to smile - every single day!

Together, hand-in-hand, let's make this planet a happy and blissful place to live!

Well, I have my reason to smile!
And did I tell you? Everybody around me is happy, always!
Aah! Of course it's because of me! I make them smile! 😜
