It's true that a smile can elevate your soul, improve your well being, make you more accessible to others and companies, in fact it can do a whole range of things to our benefit. But what happens when we are hurting, saddened, unhappy, lonely, fearful, upset? The first thing we should not do it stop smiling, wearing our negativity on ourselves doesn't do anyone any good as sympathy is a hollow virtue and leads nowhere. The fastest way to get over whatever it is no matter what it is, is to stop the self mind talk and re-join life because that is where you live and that is what is ahead of you. Don't be overcome with self pity or make remorse a way of life or an excuse, you are not an excuse you are a human being. If love is within you then you have all you need to move forward and enjoy life ahead.
