Keep your face always toward the sunshine and the shadow will fall behind you. —Walt Whitman
As I was thinking about this wonderful Walt Whitman quote, I paused to remember how the sunshine feels on my face. I recalled how it feels when I tilt my chin up and feel the warm sensations of the sun's rays touch my eyes and nose. Those happy sunrays also make me squint my eyes and almost close them when it's bright.
Have you ever noticed that when you squint, your mouth tips up into a smile? Let it lead to a real smile and your thoughts will smile right along with it. Focus on the happy, positive aspects of your life and leave the shadows and darkness behind.
Here are four ideas to help you keep your face toward the sunshine:
- Give the gift of your smile to everyone you meet.
- Speak words of thanks and encouragement to your coworkers.
- Start each day with a prayer.
- End each day with gratitude.
Be happy and follow the sun!
