Looking in this mirror
I see myself as others see me.

Today
I will display a gentle smile
And caring eyes
Projecting inner peace.

Someday, perhaps
This small deception
May grow to represent
A true reflection.

A good first step in changing our lives for the better begins with forcing a smile and consciously trying to find opportunities to be helpful to others. Over time, we can begin to internalize these traits, leading to happier lives for ourselves and those around us.
