Don’t let anything or anyone erase your smile

The bad days come alone, but the good days you have to go out and look for them, and if it’s with your smile it will be easier to find them.

Don’t let anything or anyone erase your smile. Flow, live and enjoy, that life, at most, is two days for those who are fortunate, and it is you who choose how to live it. Remove the chains that bind you to your fears, get rid of the uncertainty that frowns on you, and venture to live your way.

Unlace your heels to notice the wet grass, notice how the leaves tremble between your fingers and the air. Stand on your head if what you want is to touch the sky with your feet. Do what you want, but let it make you happy, and so you can show off your most beautiful smile, the one that suits you so well.

Do things your way because that’s how you are and you know that happiness is not sought, we stumble upon it unintentionally in one of the few carelessness that does not give care.

Remember you only live once and that we better make that only life we have worth it. Think, Is there a better investment for our most precious resource – time – than that? Limit the influence that what others think or say has on you. That’s called envy and it’s their way of making you not feel good.

It’s me when I smile, just like it’s me when I’m sad. Both emotions are part of me and both describe me at times. I will never deny any of them because it would be the first step to denying a part of me, stopping feeding my self-love.

Wear your biggest smile and share it with the world

Share your smile with the world because a smile always means a lot. A smile makes the person who receives it and the person who displays it feel good.. Being generous with your smile costs nothing. Reflect, a smile can last a second, but the memory it leaves is sometimes eternal.

The smile is that curve that sweetens the face and illuminates the look. But only true smiles do that, they don’t count if you hide the sorrow behind it. Realize that you devalue what you feel when you hide it and disguise it as what you believe is politically correct for those around you.

“Even a happy life cannot be measured without darkness. The word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”

-Carl Gustav Jung-

You have the right to be sad, just as you have the right to be happy. Both emotions deserve the same freedom in their expression. Don’t be ashamed of clashing with those around you, you are you and what you feel has the same value as what others feel. You don’t hurt if you express yourself, you don’t hurt if you smileyou only show your best face to the world, your authenticity.

“Emotions are experienced, felt, recognized, but only a part of them can be expressed in words or concepts”

-Laura Esquivel-

Live the life with a smile

Life must be lived at full volume, with laughter, shouts and bites. Life must be savored with all the senses. We must enjoy every second of the present without letting the past torment us, because remember that the past is past and we can do nothing to change it.
