You find yourself refreshed by the presence
You find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not make earnest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.
~~ Lydia M. Child ~~
This is a very true quote. Have ever noticed that when you are in the company of people who are energetic, have positive outlook on life and are cheerful, you feel that energy as well? Positive and cheerful people are not cheerful because they have no problems; instead they have chosen to be cheerful in spite of the problems. And keeping a positive and cheerful disposition not only helps those around us but it also helps us physically, mentally and emotionally.
Of course, keeping a positive and cheerful outlook requires that we consciously and continually make an effort to be so.
