The Radiance of Happiness
“He was beaming with happiness,” we say. “She was absolutely aglow.” The phrases are more than mere analogies. They’re statements of perceptible reality.
Light rides on the waves of happiness that flow out from your heart. Literally. Actual, measurable light.
Happiness is a radiant power, a beneficent light saber you wield with your smile, shooting out photons toward all who gaze upon your face, infecting them with joy. Like sunlight melting ice, your happiness radiates a warmth that melts the brittleness that keeps others from their own.
Doubt it? Think about the way you yourself respond to the sight of a genuine smile flashed in your direction. If only for a split second, you feel the light of it, the uplift of your spirit as you reach for its joy.
Think of the power that gives you! Want to change the world? Make it a happier place? Follow Gandhi’s advice: Be the change you want to see. Get out there and beam, baby! Go flash some happiness around.
