Waking up each morning is such a gift for all of us. Despite the fact of it being a rainy, cloudy or snowy day, we have the choice to bring a dose of happiness out there and what better way to do it than with a incomparable SMILE.

I have the pleasure of watching constantly the gentleman in the picture, he delivers a friendly smile and waves to every single person he gets the chance to see. You cannot miss this, I bet you will end up smiling and waving back to him. He is a perfect example and has an impressive attitude.

One day driving by this gentleman’s usual spot, I was stopped by the set of lights and got the chance to witness a special event. A lady came from behind; he said hi and turned around to help her cross the street. She tapped his shoulder and handed him what seemed like a sandwich. He was happily shocked, thanked her, and did not know whether to continue helping her or place his new snack in his car.

We all come from different pasts and experiences, but you are today what you choose to be. Have you witnessed something similar, or would you like to surprise someone who deserves recognition for their attitude and character toward the world?

I finally had the honor to meet this gentleman. His name is Joe. He loves his job as a crossing guard in Reading, MA, and is a retired police officer. =D

One of the coldest days ever, I entered a coffee shop to purchase a hot chocolate and munchkins for Mr. Fireman. My place had a couple of sprinkler pipes frozen, and the fire department assigned a fireman to stand by outside all night just in case something went wrong.

Standing in line, a lady on my right entered the store and smiled at me. She did not realize I was next in line. When the employee called for the next customer, the lady started ordering. She immediately turned around and apologized; I told her, “No worries Ma’am, I don’t care.”

A gentleman behind me watched the moment. I told him that for being patient and not saying anything, he had earned a free coffee on me. He was surprised but accepted. The lady felt bad, yet I reassured her that it was all right.

He ordered his coffee, said thank you, and placed the money for it in the tip mug. See how this domino effect works? We can view every situation in a different way. It depends whether we choose indifference or make a difference. Which side do you choose?

This image represents perfectly the kind of united effort we need in the world. This wonderful place has enough for everyone, and it is difficult to understand why sources are being taken away from human rights.

Greed rules highly in most places of the world. The majority of goods that people seek are completely unnecessary; just take a look around. Let’s work together for a better place where there is enough of everything for everyone. Remember that the best things in life are completely FREE!

Perfect samples: Love, Smile, Hugs, Friends, Kisses, Laughs, and Good memories. Start first from your home. This is the first step that would lead all its members by the hand toward a better tomorrow.

Being a kid is one of the most special stages in human evolution. Every single thing is unique, real, simple, and great. Enjoy every second of this incredible experience, but most importantly, never let it die as you grow older.

Experiences and situations in life might be rough or difficult, but remember that magical innocence keeps you on a different track and will always lead you to a better point of view in every situation.

Forget what people say or might do. Seek what is good for you and others. Never generalize, and give people the opportunity to show you how great they can be. Love life and live it!
