A reason to smile

A nice post from Danny Garcia....check it out..

Not too long ago, I saw a woman, a homeless one.
I was on my way home from the store and as I drove toward her, I began to compare her life to mine. Even though I didn't know her past, her present circumstances were clear and easy to judge, so why not, right? I'm 20. I have a supportive, loving family. I have good friends, a beautiful girlfriend, and a decent car. I have goals, dreams, and aspirations. She had nothing but the clothes on her back. “I've got it pretty good,” I thought, “sure glad I'm not her,” and I almost drove by without another look.

Then I noticed something weird.....http://danny-garcia.com/articles/full/6_words/

10 commandments of joy: 4. Nuture your emotions

A person without emotions is like wood without any juice. You need to make your life interesting to draw people to you. This will happen when you nurture yourself with music, prayer and service. The way to expand from individual to universal consciousness. To overcome personal misery is to share universal misery! The way to expand personal joy is to share universal joy. Ask yourself what can you do for the world? When you show kindness, your true nature comes into play. Do some random acts of kindness without expecting anything out of it. You don't have to plan your acts of kindness. Just do something spontaneously. When you do random acts of kindness, you come in touch with your true nature.

10 commandments of joy: 3.Make your smile cheaper

A baby smiles 400 times a day, an adolescent 17 times and an adut doesnt smile at all! The more successful one becomes, stiffer the person is. Is being stressed a sign of prosperity, growth or dignity?

You should smile more. Every day, every morning, look at the mirror and give a good smile to yourself. Dont let your smile be snatched away by anybody. Usually you give your anger freely and your smile rarely as though a smile is costly. In ignorance anger is cheap and smile costly. In knowledge smile is free like the sun, air and water and anger is very expensive like a diamond. Make your smile cheaper and your anger costly.

You are here for a greater cause. Just remember that.

10 commandments of joy: 2. Take time out for yourself

If for the whole day you only engaged in gathering sources for creativity, sometime during the day sit for a few minutes, get into the cave of your heart, eyes closed and kick the world away like a ball. But during the day be 100% attached to the work. Eventually you will be able to be both attached and detached at the same time. This is the skill of living, art of living.

You have to renounce all work you have done the whole day, only then can you rest in the night. Creativity springs up when you are relaxed. Taking out sometime for yourself improves the quality of your life. Learning something about the breath and other levels of our existence is very important.
