365 Exciting Ways to Live: Excitement # 30 - Mind Your Facial Expression

Mind Your Facial Expression
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
– William Shakespeare

Face is the index of your mind. How do you present yourself to others? How is your facial expression? What feelings does it reflect? Only the human beings have the rare gift of conveying something through their mere facial expression!
I have come across people who convey happiness, excitement, enthusiasm, energy etc. in their face. These people electrify others by their very presence. I have also come across people who carry a depressed, sad, unhappy, irritated and timid face. They destroy the enthusiasm of others around them. The third category is expressionless faces!   When you speak to them, you will not know if they are listening to you at all!
Have you ever thought where you belong to in the above three types?   We are not alone in this world.  We are surrounded by people.  How we present ourselves to others will decide the quality of our interpersonal relationship.  Your facial expression conveys something very important about your internal personality. In fact your facial expression conveys how you feel inside.

From today, resolve to carry a pleasant and enthusiastic facial expression. Initially you may find it difficult. Anything is possible if you understand why you need it.
