Smiling Through the Challenges
Introduction
A personal story that illustrates the power of smiling through challenges is one in which a friend of mine was going through a difficult time in her life. She had lost her job, was dealing with some health issues, and was struggling to make ends meet. Despite all of this, she made a conscious effort to smile as much as possible. She said that even on her darkest days, forcing herself to smile helped her to feel a little bit better.
