Smile- turn everything straight :)

A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles!

-William Hazlitt

We humans are caught up in the daily run for our bread and butter. The virtual world that has ceased our ability to look around. A small chat is bounded only to WhatsApp and Facebook. Workout these days are within the boundaries of gym.Sadly, we humans have thought very less of the word “Stress-busters”.

Before you continue reading truly record the answers of the below mentioned questions :

How many of us actually look at our co-passengers while going to work or being back?

How many of us have the zeal to learn from others experiences?

When did we last exchange a smile with someone?

When was the last time we got a smile from someone?

The How’s and When’s above may leave your brain thinking hard.!

Okay, frankly speaking we have very less time to think about others , their feelings , their experiences etc. How about smiling for yourself? How about starting a day on a positive note: “Yes, today I shall do and learn something new! *Looks at the mirror smiles and feels confident* ”

All of us have experienced Ups and Downs but what matters is how we are back to normal! We have various approaches to face challenges and overcome and find solutions but in this process how happy are we is the question least asked?

“Oh yeah! I am happy! All smiling 😀 ” can be told by anyone but questioning your conscience when you say this takes in guts and courage ! Your heart answers it all!

Like Steve Maraboli rightly quoted in his book Life,The Truth, and Being Free:

“Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be!”

Wake up every morning saying it’s a bright new day! Smile at your loved ones! You never know what it means to them! Smile and greet your colleagues ! Greet everyone you know with that “flash on your face” . It does not cost you anything to give a smile! Give away and feel blessed with the amount you get back. You may never know what your smile can get you through! Let it be there no matter what! God has enriched your beauty with that beautiful smile and you’ve got to flaunt it .! Be happy! YOLO (You Only Live Once).

Cherish the past, live in the present and pray for the future. Smile often . Let not the world know you are sad. Let it become a reason for others to envy you. Let it be your day and it’s you who can make the best of it. Smile at everyone you know because you are happy internally!

On this World Smile Day (Oct 3rd) we request all of you to share and spread smiles just like our blog’s name suggests:

“Live to Spread Smiles 🙂 “

The 360 degree world-Parents

We often forget that when we entered into this 360 degree world we had only our parents by us to support us .They held us in their arms,swayed us through the air holding tight and never let go.Every child s first lesson is taught by their parents ,be it to call them “mom and dad” or teach them to take their first step.They tend to work for us day and night from when we are born. They protect us from the evil ,teach us lessons of life that no school can ever teach and stand by us when we need them the most.When we are young our innumerable demands are met by them without giving a second thought. Sometimes we don’t have to demand too… because you know they ‘ll look into your eye and know what you really want and they ‘ll sacrifice everything to get you just that.

As we grow up and move into the “outer” world our parents sometimes restrict us from doing things which we might not like. Isn’t it very much like how we tend to protect the things we love  and can’t live without?

Say for example, we buy an expensive phone .We tend to buy a scratch guard with it,a case to protect it  and sometimes we insure it too.

We do anything and everything to protect it. Then why is it difficult to understand (sometimes maybe) that our parents who have nurtured and brought us up throughout their life ,put in all their blood and sweat to make us what we are today ,gave us everything we needed tend to get all the rights to tell us what to do or what not to!(Come on,  they have watched us throughout our life and they ll obviously tend to know the right and wrong)

But the younger generation is often heard saying  “IT s MY LIFE” ! Oh yes! It definitely is!And they want you to live it to the fullest! But just by growing up physically does not mean you tend to know everything possible. You need to learn from your parents and their experiences and only then are you wiser to handle things on your own.And genetically you are very much similar to them and its a proven fact that you tend to react the same way to similar situations.

In the present , many of us generally tend to have a contradictory view as of our parents.We tend to think the north while they the south. But its well said that

Communications help us clear things. And the best communication is when we share everything with our parents!

Share everything with your parents without a second thought.They are the only ones who will stand by you when the world is against you.They may react in an unexpected way to some of your decisions,scold you, or maybe go violent(rarely) but at the end they will always love you more than anyone else can. They’ll hold you through all phases of life ,hug you tight and say “It’s alright . You cannot just give up like that.”

Learn to respect and understand their point of view. If they tend to refuse to something there definitely is a reason behind it(though you might not understand when you actually should!).Don’t act rude or in rage.Ask them politely with all your love and care.Explain your view and show them your side(they might not be willing to see it at times but they WILL see it when they see you making persistent efforts!).Learn from their experiences and always remember that they are the most genuine and trustworthy people in your life  who will pause their life  to listen to what your life has to tell them.

Never ever lie to your parents.They believe in you more than themselves.You are only going to hurt them if you do so.They  were,are and will always be the ones to catch you when you fall.Work hard instead,to give them all the love and care they deserve.They do not expect materialistic pursuits.What they expect is your love,care and respect .

Next time before asking your parents “what do you expect from me” know that all they had and ever wanted to have was you to be happy,content and smiling forever. Give them the most of what you can . Try living upto their expectations and love them forever ❤

KEEP CALM AND LOVE YOUR PARENTS

Donate For A Cause :)

In the present where the speed of life can be equated to the speed of lightning,how many of us actually spare a minute and think about how lucky and privileged we are to get what we want!

What about the people who are not as lucky as we are??

Yes,this is where we are going to start today!

What does it take to stop and help someone? Why is it that people nowadays give a second thought before helping someone? In this modernized and tech adapted world we have actually considered DONATION to be just a mere word.

Donation is a word discovered by a human but it is well understood only by the most tender hearts!

Donation need not necessarily mean giving off the surplus(money,materialistic things etc.). It means much more.

for example: in a circus the joker makes even the most depressed laugh out loud! His jovial nature creates a happy ambiance around. Thus in this way he spreads smiles 🙂

Donation can be of anything.Be it love,smile,care or hugs. At the end all that matters is that the “underprivileged” heart should be happy by our donation! When one goes to an underprivileged child ,talks to them about their daily life,gives them  happiness by sharing their sadness then one’s heart is bound to feel the magnitude of the joy that the child’s heart actually feels!

Frankly speaking every human heart requires this donation and has the capability to donate too…

That’s why this VALENTINES spread the love with every “underprivileged” heart and donate for a cause 🙂
