The Elixirs of A Smile

It cost nothing but creates much
Enriching those who freely gives
With it Midas’s touch and power
It gladdens those who receives

Though it happens in a flash
Its memories always last long
Some could be done in total disguise
But its efficacies are never wrong

It creates happiness in the home
Fosters goodwill in a businesses
Forms a good banter on the phone
Frees any laden with distresses

It gives strength to the weak
Daylight to the broken hearted
Sunshine to them that are sad
And nature’s antidote for the departed

Cannot be bought or begged for
Cannot be borrowed or stolen away
For it’s of no earthly good to anyone
Until it is freely given away

YOU ARE WHAT YOU REPEATEDLY DO

First you make your habits, and then your habits make you. Your habits are end product of your thought i.e. your thoughts becomes words and words becomes actions and actions repeatedly carried out forms you habit which forms you. You become a slave to your constantly repeated acts. What at first you chose, at last compels.

Or better say it this way, your thoughts lead you to a purpose. Your purpose moves you to take action. Your actions form your habits. Your habits determine your character, and your character fixes your destiny.

Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters. Once in motion, a pattern tends to stay in motion. “Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way in the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action.... into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.” -Rabindranath Tagore
