Cheerful dispositon-the benefits

Gloom and depression not only take much out of life,but detract greatly from the chances of winning success.It is the bright and cheerful spirit that wins the final triumph.

The priceless value of cheerfulness costs nothing. It is not only essential to success, but it will go a long way toward maintaining good health.If People only knew the medicinal value of good cheer and laughter,half of the physicians would be out of business.

"Be of good cheer"Ever that one before? Most people have, but it's gone in one ear and out the other as evidenced by all the "long faces" we witness on the streets of our great American cities,in the homes,in the offices,in the stores,in the factories,in our schools,and yes,even in the pews of our houses of worship.

I have often wondered what pleasure people can possibly get out of looking like they are in great pain or miser when they are not, but then,if they are not, they ought to be,because they are playing the part so well.Looking miserabe-acting miserable certainly isn't going to attract people to us.On the contrary ,if we don't get right with ourselves and the rest world,some people will cross over to the other side of the street when they see us coming,because they know that gloom and despair can be contagious.

A smiling person of good cheer spreads cheer.Cheerfulness is contagious too.Did you ever notice when a happy, cheerful,buoyant person entered a crowded room, the whole atmospere seemed to change,and his reflected feelings seemed to be picked up by the crowd.

Many times we don't have a choice,but notice when two individuals are running for high public office that have opposite personalities. Take the one that carries a dead pan look,the serious minded type and observe what a struggle it is for him to smile, look happy,laugh,and be cheerful.This is the castor oil type because they go around looking like they just took a tablespoonful of the stuff.Oppose this candidate with a happy, radiant,beaming,cheerful office seeker that feels at home with the crowd,and tells us,by his actions,that his smile isn't a forced smile,that his laugther is genuine,and that he truly loves people,you won't have to guess twice to pick the winner by a landside.

Does your facial expression radiate the fact that you are the temple of your soul-that you are in tune with the very source of the all intelligence? Develop the habit of smiling "Be of good cheer"
