Project: Smile Dreamviews
Quote:
I have observed this many times,the fact that if you smile at someone,even a stranger that they will smile back.In life we are faced with many scenarios,spousal life,our parents,our children,being a child,work places,our friends,acceptance in society, acceptance in life,being successful,being ordinary and being different.It is how we choose to look at this issues and face them that makes us who we are. If you are free inside your mind to enjoy in life and to just let go and not have those everyday worries then the smiling part comes easy.But,let's say you are having a bad day,things just are not going your way,would a smile from a passerby make a difference?
I personally like smiling at strangers...it makes me feel warm and I am often greeted with reciprocal warm, endearing smile back. It tends to put me in a state of happiness for a few short minutes (despite what may have been on my mind prior to the smile exchange).
Dreamviews, your mission...should you choose to accept it is to MAKE EYE CONTACT and smile at 3 complete strangers. Report back here the results in as much detail as possible.
1. Did you smile at a male or female (how many of each)
2. Did they maintain eye contact with you?
3. Were they frowning before they noticed your smile?
4. Did they reciprocate the smile?
5. Additional comments you'd like to add
This is also great for people wanting to break out of their comfort zones. Maintaining eye contact with the person you are engaging in a smile is VITAL, so be sure to follow through with that.
