Cheerfulness

I have tried too in my time to be a philosopher; But, I don’t know how, cheerfulness was always breaking in.

OLIVER EDWARDS

1711–1791

IF YOU WERE BORN with a cheerful disposition, be thankful. Heaven alone knows how much the world needs the continued injections of this gift. At work or play, those that have it are a joy to be with and are much sought after for the light they bring into people’s lives.

Misery is so much easier to come by. Don’t let it put out your light.

Visualisation: Faces of misery are all around you. As you study them you realise how sad and comical they are. Vowing never to project this image of yourself, you smile, and the world begins to feel a brighter place. No matter what problems you are encountering at this time in your life, smile, and smile again. Resolve to have a cheerful disposition at all times, and to introduce others to your secret formula.

Affirmation: Spreading cheer will bring others near.
