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.

Breath: An anchor to the present moment

Breath is the essence and elixir of human life. As long as we breathe, we are alive. Breathing is fundamental to our existence. In today’s fast-paced, busy world, we are often unconscious of our “breath.’’ Our minds tend to be more active in the present age when there are plenty of distractions around us.
