It is good for life to know that we know how to enjoy it and that we have the courage to make the most of it, overcoming all the limits that arise along our path. It is really good for life to feel that people can smile, confidently and out of sorts, subconsciously and until the muscles hurt.
Smiling is an irrational and intimately human act. Smiling is the verb that establishes the most sincere and economic tool we have to deal with problems, to celebrate the good times and offer others a moment of relief.
“The smile is a real life force, the only one capable of moving the impassive”.
-Orison M. Marden-
When we smile we believe we are invincible, we seem to be a little freer and have the strength to carry on. For this and for many other reasons, how good are people who know how to smile for life! How beautiful our life is when we do it!
Those people who bring the sun every time they smile
People who know how to smile are accompanied, wherever they go, by a beam of bright light: they illuminate those around them and, consequently, the places they reach. This is why these individuals are able to bring a ray of sunshine on the darkest days, and to send us joy when we are on the ground. They are people capable of making us laugh even when we do not have the slightest desire.
In other words, surely you too will know the feeling you get when you are sure that, whatever happens, there will always be someone with us who will make us smile. It does not matter the temporal distance or the physical space that separates us: whether it is near or far, that person will always be by our side.
“Lark of my house, you laugh a lot. Your laughter in your eyes is the light of the world. Laugh so much that my soul, hearing you, penetrates space. Your laughter sets me free, gives me wings. It takes away loneliness, it takes me away from prison. Mouth that flies, heart that flashes in your lips. "
-Miguel Hernandez-
Being close to those who can make us smile is addictive
This category of people who are so beneficial to life creates, metaphorically speaking, addiction. Some people are part of our life primarily because they know how to make us laugh.
They have that special ability to understand when and how to do it. When they smile, these individuals give us care, calm, courage and great confidence. Receiving a smile as a gift, in fact, is almost always positive, since with it a wave of vital energy will also arrive that will move our emotions leaving them in the best conditions.
Those who are aware that smiling will make us smile too deserves all our gratitude: they are offering themselves to us for free. We will never forget those smiles that made us or make us feel alive.
Smile at life and it will return your smile
The best way to give thanks to the people who help us smile is to take them as an example: we too can do good to life. In this sense, it will be during the worst of our days that we will have the obligation to raise our spirits and face the circumstances in the best possible way.
It will be in the darkest days that we will have to learn to become the sun: smiling to erase and forget what hurts us is the best way to move forward. Life does not wait, time is running out: the only key to resolving the most delicate situations is to adopt a positive attitude, so as to draw lessons that can remain engraved in our memory. And we will smile for making it.
“[..] negami il pane, l'aria,
the light, the spring,
but your smile never,
because I would die of it. "
-Pablo Neruda-
