Break the Illusion Blog by Davey Wavey

Today, I combed through the long list of comments in response to the question, “What makes you smile instantly?”

As I read through the comments, a not-so-shocking theme emerged. The things that make many of you smile have little to do with yourself. You don’t smile when you buy a new wardrobe or a new Mini Cooper. You smile when you make someone else happy.

Recently, I read the following quote: “If you want to make yourself happy, make someone else happy.” The logic behind this quote is supported by many of your 281 comments.

When I smile, it’s not always with my pearly whites. I often smile with my heart. I smile with my heart when I’m in service to others. I smile with my heart when I write in my blog or read your emails. And I smile with my penis anytime I see Zac Efron shirtless. (Actually, the new love of my life is Chris Pine – the boy in the new Star Trek movie.)

It’s so hard to pick a favorite comment. But alas, I committed myself to selecting a winner. So, without further ado, the winning comment is from Bill:

I was told as a kid working in macdonalds that a smile is contagious. If we all smiled the customers would smile back… The thing is I still remember that, despite having forgot nearly everything else about the whole thing. [A] smile doesn’t hurt anyone, doesn’t cost anything and instantly makes you and the person you smile at feel great.

Congratulations, Bill. I’ve emailed you a free copy of my 20 minute chest workout.

Let’s spread some smiles today.
