Smile- form one's features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed.
You see this smile isn't because my life is great. Actually this day I was very upset because I went to get a second job at a restaurant while working a full-time leasing job. I desperately wanted more money and I thought that it was going to make me happy.
What is happiness to you?
Does happiness mean that you have loads of money? Does mean that everybody likes you? Does it means your the most fashionable? Does it mean that you have met all your goals?
Well over the past 5 years I have. had a new definition of happiness. I smiled this day because I realized I didn't take that job just for money, I took that job for the souls I would meet. I met a beautiful girl who's a photographer that made me realize that I was called to encourage people like her, I was introduced to different ethnic backgrounds and earned a understanding that we are all human no matter the circumstances or color of our skin.
Smiling released me of the pain I felt which was "not enough" I kept feeling like money was not enough, friends not enough, church not enough, job not enough . . . . you insert yours!
I was released from "not enough" to "just enough" you have JUST ENOUGH! You will get more than enough once you transition through each phase. This is just some lunch conversation to remind you to smile ! You got this! You have "JUST ENOUGH"!
So, Why exactly do you smile?
I smile because I have had both good and bad experiences that made smiling hard yet they made my smile much more healing. These experiences made me MORGAN! Who are you and why do you smile?
