You can do it. It is up to you to do it. It is not up to anyone else.
Keep seeing joy in front of you.
This is how you call to joy.
Do not think: "Joy, where are you? Where are you when I need you?"
Think: "Why, hello, Joy, here you are. You have been here right along."
Smile right now.

"We make the choice to smile, engage the world with joy and awe,
do our good turns, and otherwise share the love with which we fill our hearts to
overflowing. In the beginning, we may need to fake it. Sooner or later,
though, the brain actually does turn on positive healthy neurochemicals as a
mechanical reaction to smiling, our faking takes hold and we become what we
pretend to be," ~ Eldon Taylor.
(which brings to mind, "fake it till you make it" and "act as if")

Re: quotes on smiling
Wed, June 13, 2007 - 6:14 PMA smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~Author Unknown -

"I wonder if you have any idea of what a smile from you means to another? You must not know, or you would smile more often, and you would give a wider smile. In fact, you would be the first to smile, to say hello, to say something meaningful to another's heart. Just so, you would swell your own. Your own heart would start bursting with joy."
"Even when you are not particularly happy, you can still give happiness. And when you think less about yourself, you certainly will be happier and give more happiness to others. You will smile on the world. You will have a smile for yourself as well."

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Cultivate the ability to see the ridiculous, and to retain the ability to laugh. For, know--only in those that God hath favored is there the ability to laugh, even when clouds of doubt arise, or when every form of disturbance arises. For, remember, the Master SMILED--and laughed, oft--even on the way to Gethsemane.

from today's - TUT... A Note from the Universe:
Arms up and out, half bent, hands just above head level, facing your peeps waving in a circular fashion. Subtly sway to the left, then to the right. Keep with it, back and forth. Don't stop waving. Now mix in a gentle bob, up and down... That's right, aurelia, good...
Now add a little, "Whoo-hooooo, Whoo-hoooo....." as you sway.
Perfect.
Just 5 seconds of this happy dance, just 5 seconds, even when feeling blue, will always make you SMILE. Your SMILE will lift your spirits. Your spirits will summon ancient friends. And your friends will raise you higher into the light.
Works every time.
This has been a public service announcement brought to you by.... The Universe

Ever read my mother's book, DANDELION? About a little horse that can't find her place in life... until she does! I cry every time I read it. And Dr. Wayne Dyer says, "Dandelion is a marvelous story of the triumph of spirit."

Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death.
When a life has been lived completely honestly,
completely successfully, or just completely,
the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark
is a smile.

Re: quotes on smiling
Thu, August 23, 2007 - 9:47 AMHEAVEN #2463 Good Morning, Sunshine, August 23, 2007
God said:
Good morning, Sunshine. Let Me see a smile on your face. Be like the sunshine, bright, gorgeous, shining all day and shining on all. Smile back to the Sun, and you will feel blessings all day.
Just about always, what you smile at smiles back at you. Make someone happy with an unexpected smile from you.
Expected smiles are wonderful, yet unexpected smiles are more wonderful.
Grouchiness has much the same effect. Be grouchy, and someone will be grouchy back at you. .
Get a smile and a spring in your step. Make life light. Have you not made life a very serious thing? You even think something can go wrong, and you worry about all the possible things that can go wrong. Start enjoying thoughts of all the wonderful things that go right, and all the possible things that can go right. Be right-thinking, not wrong-thinking.
Be not heavy-footed. Step lightly on Mother Earth. Skip along merrily, merrily.
What is this burden that you carry? Do you have to carry it? You are not doomed, beloveds. You are blessed. This is not Doomsday. This is Blessingday. Blessing, blessing, blessing.
London Bridge is not falling down. Humpty Dumpty did not take a great fall. Life is like the bread dough that rises in a fairy tale and overflows the humble cottage. Yes, life is dough rising. Bread dough rises, and you rise to Heaven.
Did you want to be somewhere else than on Earth? If somehow you do, then you will plod, plod, plod. Make your footsteps heavy, if you must, If you must, even so enjoy where you are right now. And why not? Why not, beloveds? Why not enjoy now? Start enjoying, and your footsteps will be lighter.
The universe is bursting with love. Encourage all that love to come to you. Encourage it to go out to all others as well. Encourage rather than discourage every time. Look on the bright side, and that's what you will see. Propound the dark side, and you propel it. Turn dark into light. Be a magician of love.
Life is not drudgery, so don't be a drudge. Move up. Move forward.
Not even one more complaint is to pass your lips. Complaints engender complaints. Appreciate instead. Appreciation engenders appreciation. Appreciate yourself. May the sky be your umbrella, and you the sun.
You are like the sun in your life. To your children, you are the sun. Make sure you are the sun and not the clouds. Wherever you appear, make sure you shine happiness and nothing dismal at all. The world needs more sunshine from you. You need more sunshine from you.
Be the bright light you are. If you can be anything you like, then like being a bright light. Light up the world wherever you go. In the dark corners, your light is most needed. Do not think you yourself have to be dark even in the darkest of corners. No, beloveds, you have to be light. Shine your light even in dark cellars.
Where there is despair, bring bright light. Where there is illness, bring bright light. You will turn despair into hope. You will turn despair into greater than hope. You will turn despair into happiness. When you shine bright light on illness, you will bring more than hope of recovery. You will bring health itself. Be healthy-minded.
You are the song-maker of the world. Choose the song you will sing. If you can sing a song of sixpence, then you can sing any song you like. Whatever song you sing, the world vibrates to it. Sing a song of joy, and the world has no choice but to be joyous. Make of the world what you will. Jump-start the world today.
How about a smile?

HEAVEN #2607 A Lesson in Smiling, January 14, 2008
God said:
Let Me brush away that frown from your forehead. It doesn't belong there. It is like a wisp of hair that has fallen out of place. There is no place for a frown on your brow.
Let go of the past, and you will not know frown.
Be puzzled at life, but befuddlement does not require a frown.
What if all the puzzles had beautiful resolutions - would you then frown?
Christmas morning, you did not know what a package contained, and yet you did not frown. You had expectation of something joyous. Carry that expectation, beloveds. One smile from you is worth more than a hundred frowns. Get your proportions right. You may have had it backwards, beloveds. Frowns and smiles do not carry even weight, not by a long shot.
Be serious about your smiles. They are such a boon to mankind. Smile at the next stranger you see. Smile at all your beloved ones, no matter what misdemeanor they may have done. Smile at all your loved ones no matter how you may feel. You are being true to yourself when you smile. You are not smiling to incur favor. Your smile is not false. You are smiling in order to increase the world order. A smile will open your heart. A smile of good intent from you will create more smiles.
Well, if you cannot smile in this minute, perhaps you can laugh at yourself, laugh at how seriously you are taking yourself and events in your well-worn path from house to work and the grocery store. Why not walk through every room of your house and smile in recognition of a world that God has created and set before you.
You do create your world quite a bit. I suggest you create it with a smile. Surely there is something to smile about. Give that something the recognition it deserves. Even when you slip in the mud on the street, you have to smile, don't you? Wherever you land, you can smile.
Today I give you a lesson in smiling. No longer are you to be a grump, even when you are by yourself.
Come, My children, look at Me. How can you not smile when I gaze upon you? How can you not laugh for joy when you remember I am looking into your eyes? Can you really resist My eyes of love? Why would you? You can have Me for a song. Actually, a smile will do. Give Me a smile. Give Me a little smile. That's it. That's how you do it. You have a beautiful smile, and I would like you to smile often.
It is a natural thing to smile.
Remember how happy you were when you saw your baby's first smile? Once you were that baby with a first smile. May your smile have been adored, and nothing since taught you to stop the joy of your smile. Be smiling still. Alert other hearts that smiles are here to stay.
As you smile, you teach others that this is a friendly world. Make the world friendly, beloveds.
In whose presence will you smile today where you may never have before?
What corner of the world are you going to brighten today with simply a smile? I think you will find that you have more than one smile to give. I think you will find that one smile leads to another and another, until your smile has been passed around the world, lighted up hearts, and taught other beautiful souls to smile. -

Re: quotes on smiling
Mon, January 21, 2008 - 9:03 AMThere is one kind of laugh that I always did recommend; it looks out of the eye first with a merry twinkle, then it creeps down on its hands and knees and plays around the mouth like a pretty moth around the blaze of a candle, then it steals over into the dimples of the cheeks and rides around in those whirlpools for a while, then it lights up the whole face like the mellow bloom on a damask rose, then it swims up on the air, with a peal as clear and as happy as a dinner-bell, then it goes back again on gold tiptoes like an angel out for an airing, and it lies down on its little bed of violets in the heart where it came from. - - - Josh Billings
