Just Smile, Be Happy!

I went for my daily run this morning - the sun was out, the sky was crystal clear, in fact it was a perfect start to the day. However that didn't seem to be the case for everyone - there were no exchanges of 'Good Morning' or smiles, and most avoided eye contact.

So I made a point of saying "Hello" to everyone I passed which admittedly got me few funny looks, but I was pleased that I'd done the unexpected instead of staring at the ground and running on by. At the very least it made me smile, and I'd like to think that a few of those people around me eventually broke into a grin!

So my dare for you should you choose to empower yourself, is to smile at everyone you walk past for the rest of the week. Notice how it makes you feel, explore what it means to you to be positive, and see the reaction on other people's faces. No-one was ever killed by smiling so what's stopping you bringing a cheap 'n easy ray of light into your day, and perhaps someone else's? It's a dare, it's a challenge, it's your choice to make.
