How to bring a smile to your face

A heart-warming idea I've learned from a good friend on how to lift yourself up on the days that seem less sunny and bright.

He came up with a rather unique challenge to try out daily: How can I make three people smile today?

It may sound simple and silly, yet it can be so very powerful. It is so often that we forget that we’re not here just for us. We are here for others, too!

Sometimes (on those sunny and bright days, no pun intended), I'd like to think that this is the only reason why we're here in the first place. Which reminds me of this beautiful quote by Matt Haig:

“She laughs. It is the simplest, purest joy on earth, I realize, to make someone you care about laugh.” — Matt Haig

Kindly,

“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.”

— Karl A. Menninger
