A gift worth giving.

In the hectic world we live in today sometimes I believe we need to pause, catch our breath and realize the gifts that we can share with others.

What good is self improvement and personal development if it is not shared with those we love and care for?

The Vietnamese Buddhist thinker Thich Nhat Hahn remarked “sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy”

I have noticed this to be not only of our joy but that of others – haven’t you?

Isn’t it amazing that when you smile at a stranger they will often return your gift and this gets other people wondering what you were smiling a about.

There is no simpler or more expressive way of communicating goodwill than by smiling.

Whether or not we know the person to whom we present it – a smile is always a gift worth giving .
