Ever notice how a simple smile can defuse a situation? Now, not if it is one of those condescending/smirky smiles, but a true, sincere smile can really make a situation better. There is just something about a smile that can change opinions of what is happening.
It is amazing to me how quickly we can get ourselves into messes and how we try to fix things once we mess them up. When I say, "We," I really mean "ME". I seem to have an uncanny ability to get myself into way more hot water than folks need to be. This could explain my wrinkled skin, huh?
Today's word is a saying I came across that really sums things up. It says, "Silence & Smile are two powerful tools. Smile is the way to solve many problems. Silence is the way to avoid many problems."
While a smile can often go a long ways in defusing a situation, silence could benefit us more by keeping us out of a lot of situations. I have no doubt that if I could just learn to keep my mouth shut, life would find a way to be a little more simpler. I shared with someone yesterday that my problem is that I have an opinion about everything, and I freely share it with everyone. Yeah, silence could really prove beneficial.
Smile and Silence - two very powerful tools. One can defuse a situation, the other can prevent a situation.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
