Smiling Stranger

I was reading Robin Sharma's book on Megaliving where there is a beautiful phrase which intrigued me a lot. "The Purpose of Life " is living a " Life of Purpose". We live such a hectic life where we are so engrossed in our routines day in and day out that we forget to "Live Life" , we seem to be going through the motions. It is important that we "pause " sometime during our marathon to bring out a smile in a fellow human. .There is nothing greater than bringing a smile on a stranger. Little gestures go a long way in bringing a smile onto others ,eg: when you are driving and if two of you are getting into the same turn , stop and let the other person go first with a smile on your face , you can see a moment of joy in someone you dont even know. Similarly when you are in a store , try offering a helping hand with some one struggling to carry their ration. These gestures do not take time nor money from your side. Lot of us may know about the oft repeated saying "There is nothing called a free lunch" but there are few things in life that come free of cost , Laughter /Smile is one of them. It is something that i started doing consciously and i see it is slowly becoming a habit and i beleive its infectious and you transmit positive energy to the other person who would then be in a state of mind where he transmits it to some one else. Happiness is a "State of Mind" , lets bring it to as many as we can.
