Why are you smiling?

I can't tell you how many times I've heard this over the years. I even had a girl tell me she hated me once because of it. 

Some girl I didn't even know, went out of her way to tell me she hated me... No joke. 

When I asked why, her answer was, "You're too happy!" 

Too happy?!? Wow. What does that even mean? She didn't have a clue!

Truth was, it was one of the hardest times in my life, but I didn't want people asking what was wrong, so I smiled and pretended to be happy about anything I could. 

Funny thing was though, I got so good at finding things to pretend to be happy about, I actually found myself smiling and laughing and... Well... Happy! 

I guess essentially, I trained myself to be an optimist! 

Look for the good in any situation. Find a reason to smile...  It just may change your perspective on everything. It just might change your outlook on life!
