From the Heart

What happens when suddenly you find yourself staring down a dark path unaware of what it holds. There is sadness in every story and a hint of tragedy, you cry, you sob but you just cannot pull yourself out of the rut you are in.Then what do you do, you could smile and let the world know you are fine. You could be killed inside, feeling like every organ inside your body is twisting turning on itself, you could be losing sight of your life, but as long as you smile even though that smile is fake. Two things will happen, people around you would smile with you, they will not notice your pain but only see your plastic laugh. Their surreal happiness could make you feel relaxed.All our life we are asked to smile, the power of a glowing smile is enormous, it can heal wounds, mend fences but more importantly it can cheer anyone. We are always under constant pressure under some stress or the other. But I always believe what is my pain, someone else’s is greater so smile for them.

When in life you are broken and your soul resolves into nothingness, when you can find nowhere to go.Suddenly life comes crashing down on you with all its might and tests all your vulnerabilities. When crying feels weak and laughing seems absurd. When you are in a trance and don’t know how you got there. When you are spinning as your whole life unravels around you, confuses you, dazes you. When you find nowhere to go, you lose the rigor to fight, to survive when you let life dictate terms and you lose your battles without even fighting them. When your future is in jeopardy but you are helpless, when you have lost the resolve to fight and you want to give up and go through the motions. When there is suddenly no hope left all you have to do is

SMILE

Let the world know you are fine and soon you will be.
