Brightening a Room


Have you noticed that in a group of people, if one additional person enters, sometimes the entire tone and mood of the group changes?


My wife smiles and waves at everyone that drives by in our neighborhood. Initially, everyone ignored her. Now, more than half the folks smile and wave back. Now I do the same thing, and so do they.


Those who brighten a room, simply by entering it, have an open and radiant heart. It may sound counter-intuitive, but a genuine, open and generous heart can be virtually invincible, even in the face of abundant rejection.
