Keep Smiling
Short inspirational pieces by Avrohom Tzvi Schwartz, Kiryat
Sefer, author of A Handful of Light, Hearts on Fire
and his latest, Be Happy and Succeed.
Making the Most of It
You don't need much time, or even many roses, to smell the
roses. There must be something within arms' reach around you
for you to enjoy. If not a material object, than an idea, a
concept. Look at it. Focus on it. Make yourself a moment of
happiness. Such an attitude then lights up not only the
moment, but other moments as well.
We need to create a mind-set where our happiness doesn't
depend on any happening, any person, any object. Whether the
sun is shining or it is raining, whether others are nice or
nasty, whether we get the job or lose it, we stay happy.
Can we be happy when "everything goes wrong?" We need to look
not at what is, but rather, at what is right. We have to
focus on the positive. We have to paint our faces with a
smile.
Then, when we do what we can, Hashem, and the world, follow
our bright, sunny example and do the rest.
