The Smile by Inshan Meahjohn

-
“When the clouds block out the sun
And you feel a bit down
When you feel that you are outdone
Upon your face there is a frown

Along comes an unexpected gift
From a stranger on the street
It gives you an immediate lift
As if you were given an unexpected treat

This gift costs not a cent
And can be given by anyone
It’s a wonderful present
Almost like the shining of the sun

It warms your soul
And changes your mood
It makes you feel whole
And when you see it, you can no longer brood

The little baby passing by
Freely gives the gift away
Making you feel as if you could fly
And transforming the bad start into a good day

You pass by another
Who was in your former state
You realize that he is a brother
That he wasn’t feeling great

So you share the gift
That you were given just a moment ago
It gives him an immediate face-lift
What a wonderful gift to bestow!

This gift is priceless
It comes with positive thought
Its delivery is almost effortless
It’s a gift that cannot be bought

So I urge you today
To give a gift that is worthwhile
What a wonderful display
When you give the gift of a smile!”

"Of what worth is the intellect if it confines us to a static existence. Maybe perchance, the fullness of life is to be experienced when we dynamically project our dreams, new ideas and new possibilities into our current circumstances.  This germination of positive energy into our present future has the ability to help us let go of the old and boldly step into the new definition of our lives. This constant renewal of our soul expressing itself in fun playfulness, can aid us in releasing our hold on old relationships to anything in our environment that no longer serves our higher purpose. So my dear friend, be still, silent and peaceful and in that state, the clarity of your next action will be able to emerge, as the waves of emotions which always seem to drown out the wisdom of our souls are made to lay flat.  I wish you the gift of a dynamic, fun filled inspirational, love infused, divinely guided life!"    © Inshan Meahjohn 2017

5 Simple Ways to overcome FEAR

What is fear? The dictionary defines it as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or is a threat. One of my respected mentors, Mr. LeRoy Shuffler defined it as a F alse E xpectation A ppearing to be R eal Fear is one of the biggest single factors that deprives one of being able to achieve his/her full potential. We experience fear more as a result of our internal communication of mind rather than because of actual external factors. Fear is an unseen enemy that whispers negative thoughts into your mind, body and soul. It tries to convince you that you will not prosper and that you cannot achieve your full potential. Our lives can be compared to beautiful streams, which are destined to flow, grow in majesty to create wonderful features such as cascading waterfalls, and give nourishment and life to those in its path. Sometimes we let fear put up a small dam in our rivers of life and it causes us to have stu
