“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
-Leonardo Da Vinci
Are all things that are easy in life too good to be true? In the form of rewards, perhaps. In the form of payment over something, be it a job or otherwise, maybe.
After all, as the saying goes, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”
One thing about Michelle Huggelmann is that she always finds a smile in all things even though they seem so straight faced. I think I admire that about her. Often times, when I dissappear from socials she’ll without haste reach out and transfer her shine.
With nature and amazing writes, she and many other writers make people smile. Are you smiling now? Why aren’t you smiling? Wanna talk about it on Daily Wisdom Words Music Writing Exercise. I am Abuh Monday Eneojo.
Mother nature has no face but yet it smiles all the time but we fail to see her gorgeous smile because we are too busy.
No need to worry, I have gracefully seen one of her many smile in the picture that you see above. Is it not beautiful?
Okay. One question for you, how often do you capture her smile? Let’s talk about nature and how she smiles in the rain, sun, soot, snow, political fumes and other not so favorable condition we have placed her.
READ REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SMILE OFTEN
‘Morning’ and ‘Smile’ reminds me of a Christain hymal.
New every morning is thy love…
You can sing along if you know the hymnal very well. Joy comes in the morning. Smile!

Troubles can be overwhelmingly frustrating. They come when one expects them not and its arrival is quite unwanted. Tell me, who wants trouble to come to him or her just like that? No one!
It may surprise you but the truth is that there are people on this earth who love trouble. Not because of how it makes them think much but the mysterious aftermath of the thoughts that would have left them with emotional issues. Look around you, many people we call successful today were/are masters of trouble.
They made solutions out of the troubles they face and this has , in a good way, helped many people they do not know. if we take a good look at the likes of John D Rockefeller and other successful people we know today, we would undoubtedly see that they created a platform that stood the test of time, out of the troubles they faced during their age as humans.
My point is, we know too well the art of wallowing in trouble and not the art of using these troubles as a pitch to get a gig in life. Gig? Yes, gig. Or don’t you know that you can turn that trouble to things that will eventually make you and others smile.
You see, i decided that i will not, in any situation, wallow in trouble for too long- it is unhealthy. There is no gain doing it. All it does is take away if you let it. What i do when it comes is grab it by the horn. The truth is, I am not scared of it anymore. You should do same.
I will tell you how i overcome trouble as a writer, personally. It may help you as a writer. You see, there are times when i take the train of trouble and i am immediately deafened by its noise. You see, at that point you hear not anything friends say because all you think of is how not to think of it. They may think that you are feigning quaint thoughts but deep down you know that all is really not well with you emotionally.
Thinking on the troubles of life is tiring, i tell you. What i do is write about it, then, i marvel at ingenuity for a while and before you know it, the thought of trouble turns to sweet smiles. If you reading this and you are going through one trouble or another. Stop it! Think on it no more. It is difficult but try turning it to positive energy.
Most of the things i say, were inspired by constant relationship with members of these amazing writing community. Yes, today marks one year at Daily Wisdom Words.
I’m going to leave you with a little poem. Hope it helps.
T is for trouble
S is for smile
S comes before T
So smile, always.
“Smiling does not necessarily mean you’re happy. Sometimes it just means you’re strong.”
-Nishan Panwar
In the past, I’ve written a post or two about the power of a smile. I talked about how it could make someone’s day and the psychological effects it can have on you even when you’re not really happy.
“Laughter is the best medicine.”

You’ve heard it. I’ve heard it. The whole world, irrespective of culture, religion or language has heard today’s quote. But what exactly does it mean besides the literal sense of it? And how accurate is it scientifically or biologically?
LYRICS
Letting go of everything that has ever had a hold of me
No more running when I’m scared
Running never gets me anywhere
I used to care but now it’s whatever
They don’t want you to do better
They’ll get you down if you let em
Just remember, no pain is forever
I know it’s hard to forget, how wrong they did you
All of the shit that you’ve been through
All of the fights you got into
Just remember that God is still with you.
They want to bring me down,
Bring me down,
Ohhhh
They can’t bring me down,
Bring me down,
Ohhhh
Life is one big fight
Every day and every night
We goanna be alright
Yeah, we goanna be alright
Life is one big fight
For heavens sake
Everyone is out here for themselves
Give or take
A couple broken hearts as long as
They get everything they needed from you
But you can never let them feel like they are above you
Above you
Life can be cool, Life can be hard
Got to keep fighting, don’t let down your guard
The battles you’ve been through make you who you are
I had to learn how to be proud of my scars.
Cause life can be so hard
Soooo hard
And I know you just feel like letting go
Everything is way too heavy
Nobody is every ready to be ready
And I know you just feel like letting go
Everything is way too heavy
Nobody is ever ready to be ready
And I know you’ve been stressing
It’s okay cause your blessing’s on the way
Don’t you worry about what they say
What they say…
They can’t break you down
Break you
Ohhh
Life is one big fight
Everyday and every night
We goanna be alright
Yeah, we goanna be alright

In the past, I’ve written a post or two about the power of a smile. I talked about how it could make someone’s day and the psychological effects it can have on you even when you’re not really happy.
Although that post is quite old now, I recently received a message from a new reader who didn’t agree. Their argument was that why should they fake an emotion? Isn’t the norm today to encourage people to speak up if something’s wrong?
“A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.”
-Steve Maraboli
The world is moving at such a breakneck speed that sometimes we forget the value of some simple things in life.
One of them is the act of common courtesy.
Every so often, we go through things such turbulent periods in our lives that seeing even a friendly smile can cheer us up simply because we haven’t seen it in a while.
Every time you go the supermarket or to see a movie, take just a second to return the courtesy a cashier is giving you.
Smile, ask them how they are just like they do.
It may not seem like much at the time. But to them it may mean the world after an array of unhappy customers or a long shift of work.
There have been several cases of attempted suicide in which the person who was about to kill himself or herself said one phone call or conversation stopped them.
Sometimes, a simple gesture can travel for miles on ahead even without us knowing it.
