Empower Your Smile

If you want to be happy, stop waiting for others to make you happy.

Just decide to be happy. If your life seems too dreary, smile anyway.

This may seem like Pollyanna, pie-in-the-sky nonsense at first, but it is very much rooted in the physiological reality of your brain.

Also, smiling is contagious. Very few people can resist urge to smile back when you smile at them.

As wonderful as a smile is, laughter is even better.

The old saying “Laughter is the best medicine” is literally true.

Laughter boosts the immune system and reduces the stress response, and thus is excellent for brain health.

Furthermore, good attitude and lots of positive social interaction seem to reduce the risk of dementia and other aging-related brain disorder.

A happy brain, it seems, is a healthy brain.

So always be persistent in the mastery of these activities, and deliberately seek out new challenges for your brain.

The journey consists of a single seed of thought, which flowers and withers, returning to its original place.

People often call the end of this journey “enlightenment

”.

What does enlightenment mean? What do you have to know to be enlightened?

Is enlightenment the end?

What could be behind enlightenment?

The crux of enlightenment is that there is nothing to be enlightened about.

When you realize that there is nothing to be enlightened about, that is enlightenment.

Does it sound funny? Fishy?
