How to Keep a Smile on Your Face No Matter What Circumstances Life Throws Your Way

How to Smile

Kurt Evans
When it comes to how to keep a smile on your face no matter what circumstances life throws your way, it all boils down to attitude.

Funny Things In Life

When you have a good attitude, you can laugh at the funny things in life. Laughing at life automatically puts a smile on your face.

Smile

When there's a smile on your face, you can't help but to feel better.

How You Look At Life

Sometimes, it all comes down to perspective and how you look at life. If I see the glass as half full, I'm going to be happy. If I see the glass as half empty, I'm going to be sad. Either way, the glass is still in the same condition, it's just a matter of how I choose to look at it.

Cynical State Of Mind

When you have a cynical state of mind, you're going to be critical and judgmental of everything and everybody. When things don't go your way, you get upset. And, rather than working with your circumstances to try and do some problem solving to make them better, you scream and holler as if it's the end of the world. Then, you stomp off somewhere to enjoy your pity party; that, you didn't invite anybody to. Bummer!

The World Manages To Go On Without You

After sulking in your own troubles for a while, you decide to come out of your cave to see the light of day. Sometimes, it's fascinating to find out that the world somehow manages to go on without you. The world keeps on turning and people keep on living their lives, no matter what happens to you.

Our Problems Are Unique

As human beings, we all like to think that our problems are unique because they belong to us. But, the fact of the matter is that other people have had our problems before and that one of the ways that we can get through these problems is to seek out the help of others that have been through what we're going through.

Having An Open Mind

Having an open mind is always an important thing to have. When you don't have an open mind, you might as well pack up your stuff and go home because you aren't going to see the solution even if somebody hands it to you.

No Matter What

No matter what circumstances life throws your way, when you're able to handle them without having a break down, you're making progress. It's like we say in Alcoholics Anonymous," progress not perfection."

Circumstances In Life

The purpose of circumstances in life is to teach us things. Circumstances might teach us ways to become a better person, how to problem solve, or how to be more patient.

The Situation

No matter what the situation is, with what the circumstances are, if you can go through them with a smile on your face, you're guaranteed to have a better outcome.

Sarcastic Attitude

If you can go through life with a bit of a sarcastic attitude (meaning that you have a little smart ass within you) you'll most likely come out the other side a bit better. There' a little smart ass within everybody on the planet.

Be The Master Of Your Own Domain

The key is, to take control of that smart ass within you, and be the master of your own domain. And, when you're able to do this, then you'll know how to keep a smile on your face no matter what circumstances life throws your way.

Domain

Are you the master of your own domain?

    I'm a smartass, but that smile bit - it's hard. Sometimes it feels like a grimace, lol.

    Life gets dished out to all of us. Learning how to maneuver around it all with humor is certainly key. There are times, however, that those don't quite understand our humor...sarcasm being one type. It's what has kept me sane in the darkest of hours.
