A Simple Smile

What can a smile do to the day of a person? How can a smile change the way you feel about yourself? Does a smile have the power to change things? These questions come to mind when I think about a smile. What is a smile? A smile is a brightening of the face which expresses pleasure, joy or kindness. We often smile when we find things pleasing to us,  it can be a nice sunrise or a child playing in the park. A smile is energy that wells up inside of us and comes out through our face to show our appreciation for what is being observed, thought or felt.
This energy is one of the most purest forms of energies that comes directly from the source of our existence. Our heart connects us to our wider non physical part of our being. We all exist on multiple levels of creation all at once. When we observe life and view it from the perspective of the heart we will find many things to smile about. The reason we can find things to smile about is because we will not be looking at events and situations from the lens of judgment, good or bad, but from the view of loving everyone and everything, wanting them to flourish and live life to their full potential.
We have to clarify what heart and what love we are talking about. We are not talking about the physical heart and love from the ego where it is an exchange of what you can do for me and what I can do for you, but rather always giving the best part of yourself in spite of what the other person is doing. Love is not a contract of give and take.  Love is always giving and never taking.  To give your life force to another person, place or things will result in the expansion of that person, place or thing. This is where a smile comes in the picture.
