Happiness
causes smiles and smiles cause happiness
|
.
| We
usually think that when we are happy we begin to smile and laugh. True. |
. |
Many
of us, however, did not know that it is a two way street. |
....
|
When we are not happy, if we smile
and laugh, we become happy.
|
....
| To
be unhappy, especially over an extended time, is unhealthy, and can lead
to clinical depression. |
. |
Experiencing
many disappointments is a common situation in community work. We
meet “promise and fail” often. |
....
| To
do our job, however, we need a positive attitude, an ever flowing spring
of hope, optimism. |
. |
So
whenever we observe that we are feeling “down,” we can counteract that
by smiling and laughing. |
....
| Think
of the slogan,“fake it ‘til you make it.” |
. |
Doing
so will spark some inner emotions that produce happiness inside us, and
that happiness is a healthy resource that will make our lives better, and
assist us to do a better job. |
....
| It
will also help us to stay healthy, or to heal faster if we are ill. |
.... |
Smile and laugh.
