Your smile to a passerby may be the only recognition they receive from others. You may be the one bright part of their day!
Making eye contact and saying hello is the God in you greeting the God in the other. Therefore, you are:
- Acknowledging yourself;
- Asserting your power;
- Demonstrating your belief in yourself (your self-worth);
- Sharing yourself (sharing the love that permeates all things).
A smile is a gift of light to all who experience it. Imagine that everyone you meet makes solid eye contact, smiles and says/nods hello. This is a recipe for peace!
Awareness is the difference between passive existence (being at the effect of events) and joyful participation (creating your experience - being the cause of your experience). Find joy when you:
- Open doors for others whether or not they need assistance.
- Wave, smile or dance to acknowledge those around you.
- Send an email or post card to someone who has not contacted you for a while.
- Do something unexpected that will delight another.
- Give full attention to those who speak with you.
- Respond to others with integrity.
- Respond positively when asked, 'How are you?'
