Who are YOU scaring?
The world is a looking glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. - William Thackeray
Many years ago, when I was angry with my kids, I passed a mirror and happened to look in it and was HORRIFIED! Or, should I say TERRIFIED?! I have never forgotten that moment. My poor children! Such a scary mother! I've learned that I am not very cognizant of the "looks" on my face. Those are hard to control! But, not impossible. It starts with the thoughts in our heads.
I think it would be interesting if we could carry a mirror with us all day to look at our reflection when we're feeling different feelings. I bet we'd consciously change those thoughts to positive ones pretty quickly if we could see the result of those thoughts on our faces!
When you pass by someone who is not smiling, are you inclined to smile and say "hello"? Probably not, unless it is in your nature to say "hello" to everyone you pass regardless of your perception of their mood.
So, turn that around. Do you think if you walk around scowling that most people will want to speak to you? If you appear unapproachable, you will be treated as unapproachable. And, then you will feel badly because no one is talking to you. And so you will continue to have that scowl on your face until you take control and think positive thoughts!
Only YOU can change it! The look on your face is DIRECTLY TIED to the thought in your head. See how that works? It merely proves that we attract the energy we put out to the world. If we walk around scowling because we're thinking unhappy thoughts, we're rarely going to attract happy, positive people. We will usually attract other scowlers who want to commiserate with us and complain about their bosses, wives, children, traffic, etc. So, you'll not only be concentrating on your problems but theirs, as well.
So, if you can't carry a mirror with you at all times today, at least start to THINK about the look that might be on your face. And, study the faces of those around you and consider your attitude towards them at that moment. Hopefully, you will realize that what we think and feel on the inside is reflected on the outside and those smiles or frowns directly affect the circumstances of our day. The power of your mind is within your control! Use it!
And, remember to SMILE! We are what we think about!
