What Glenda Watson Hyatt Said … About a Smile

November 19, 2008 by Liz Leave a Comment

A community isn’t built or befriended,
it’s connected by offering and accepting.
Community is affinity, identity, and kinship
that make room for ideas, thoughts, and solutions.
Wherever a community gathers, we aspire and inspire each other intentionally . . . And our words shine with authenticity.

A Smile Is a Powerful Tool

If only positive things happened, we have no worries about what other people were thinking, what could go wrong, or what the future might be bringing. We’d also never learn about strength of purpose or facing down adversity. No one has courage every minute, but when we need courage, a smile can be a powerful tool.

Here’s what Glenda said . . .

“What do you do when people are looking at you?” Being in a wheelchair with an obvious physical disability, people look or stare most times I head out my front door. Generally, I take deep breath, hold my head up, slap on a smile and carry on! Most times it works. . . .
Glenda Watson Hyatt from a comment on April 22, 2008

I so believe in the power of positive thinking. Sometimes it does take some effort, like slapping on a smile when I don’t really feel like it. But, when I am truly in the zone of positive thinking and being grateful, amazing things happen!

    I notice when I force myself to interact kindly with others (like if I’m feeling a little depressed and I smile and be polite anyway) after a few minutes that smile starts to sink its way in to me. I really do feel better!

    I like this new feature! These successful and outstanding bloggers sure have some great things to say.

    P.S. Liz, the second link on Glenda’s name goes to Creative Curio!

    Wow Liz, thank you for making me smile today! A smile is so powerful. A smile can open doors. A smile can comfort someone when its most needed. A smile can warm someone. A smile can acknowledge someone’s existence. A smile costs nothing to give, but can mean the world to receive.

    And now… not to take the beauty away from a great smile… , but studies show that people are more willing to spend their money on your products if 1) you are smiling and 2) if you make them smile.

    So, not only is a smile beautiful, it’s a great marketing tool.
