Smile brings the Beauty to our Face

Once, there was a beauty competition for young kids in a school. So, the teacher announced that all students should dress up well and get prepared for the upcoming competition. So all kids tried their best to put up the best dresses and get groomed well. Now, the day of the competition came.

All kids were in their best dresses. They came on the stage one by one and introduced themselves, they were clad in the best of costumes but unfortunately, most of them were not seeming happy and joyful. It seemed the anxiety of competition had taken over them and they were not in the best of spirits. Out of so many of them, only one kid was cheerful, happy, and joyful. She has not only a charming dress but a heart-touching smile which touched the audience and also the judges.

Eventually, she won the competition. The judges announced that it was especially for the beautiful smile coupled with a glamorous outfit that shined upon her face which made them choose her over the rest.

Moral: A smile can create miracles, it makes our face shine with charm and beauty. It brings out the inner beauty of the soul. Smile along with external beauty and grooming makes a perfect personality and makes its way into the hearts of others.

People Pleasing: A trait to be understood and reflected upon

A “people pleaser” means a person who feels a strong need to please others, even at their own cost. They may feel that their wants and needs are unimportant, so they alter their personalities in order to make others happy. Often, we engage in people pleasing unconsciously or witness people around us doing that, but we often fail to comprehend the underlying causes of this tendency. Let’s analyze and understand the reasons behind it, and give it some contemplation. Some common factors behind it are:     • Low self- esteem     • A childhood trauma     • Avoidance of conflict      • Low self esteem:  People who have low self-esteem are dependent on the external validation, and approval of others to feel confident.

They also feel they are less worthy and deserve less in comparison ...
