The source of a true smile is an awakened mind. How can you remember to smile when you wake up? You might hang a reminder – such as a branch, a leaf, a painting, or some inspiring words – in your window or from the ceiling above your bed, so that you notice it when you wake up. Once you develop the practice of smiling, you may not need a reminder. You will smile as soon as you hear a bird singing or see the sunlight streaming through the window. Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding. – Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thaysaid #thichnhathanhquotecollective #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #smile #thichnhathanhquotes
