¿Por qué no eres tú la razón por la que alguien sonríe hoy?
Sharing positivity shouldn’t be such a hard task. Sadly, people who think about making someone else happy are rare.
Why don’t you be the person who does something kind for others? Why don’t you be the reason someone smiles today?
Sabemos muy poco por lo que están pasando los demás, así que más vale que intentemos hacer sus días más bonitos mientras podamos.
I may not have learned many life lessons that I should have this far into adulthood but there’s one thing I have learned: Always take the time to make someone smile.
Echa un vistazo a algunas maneras fáciles de hacer sonreír a alguien y algunas citas positivas que puedes compartir con la gente para brighten someone’s day.
“Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
10 actos sencillos para hacer sonreír a alguien:
1. Hazles un cumplido sincero
No hay nada mejor que una buena y genuina, cumplido personal. Don’t just tell someone they are pretty or nice; dig deeper.
Take some fact that’s unique about them and turn it into a heartfelt, charming compliment.
Si tu amiga tiene los dedos más graciosos y largos o un pelo increíblemente grueso y brillante, díselo y muéstrale tu admiración.
Si alguien en el trabajo es increíble haciendo un determinado tipo de tarea, elógielo por ello, diciéndole que nadie lo hace mejor.
Giving people compliments is the easiest way to make them smile. Even if someone is a tough cookie, they won’t be able to stop their lips from curving up into the sweetest, shyest smile.
2. Sujetar la puerta a alguien
Esto es muy sencillo. Aun así, la mayoría de las veces decidimos simplemente irnos cuando alguien tarda demasiado en acercarse a la puerta.
Encuentra un poco de paciencia dentro de ti y quédate ahí sujetando la puerta aunque te lleve un minuto más de tu tiempo.
Todos tenemos un gran impacto en la vida de los demás y, a veces, incluso sólo por sostenerles la puerta.
3. Acércate a alguien de tu pasado
Puedes acercarte a una persona que conociste de joven, alguien que cambió tu vida a mejor.
¿Hubo algún profesor que hizo un trabajo increíble educándote? Envíale una nota de agradecimiento.
Escríbeles contándoles lo mucho que aprecias el duro trabajo que han hecho y todas las formas en que han mejorado tu vida.
4. Call or text someone just to show them you’re thinking about them
Give someone a quick call or send them a text just to check what they’re doing at that very moment. Let them know they are in your thoughts.
Nada hace sonreír más a una persona que saber que alguien la tiene presente en todo momento, por mal que le vaya el día.
5. Compartir un paraguas en un día lluvioso
It rains. You’re super happy that you didn’t forget your umbrella that day. You see a stranger nervous about having to go out in the rain. Share your umbrella with them.
Sinceramente, es muy fácil de hacer y no requiere casi ningún esfuerzo.
6. Envía a alguien una tarjeta escrita a mano diciéndole lo mucho que significa para ti
Una bonita nota escrita sobre lo especial e importante que es alguien en tu vida seguro que le hace sonreír.
You can include anything you’d like… A quote, an inside joke or whatever you think the person you’re sending the note to would appreciate.
7. Ceder el asiento a alguien
Cuando ocurra que tienes un asiento y alguien se levanta, cédele el tuyo sin motivo aparente, sólo para hacerle sonreír.
The person doesn’t have to be old, pregnant or carrying a bunch of grocery bags.
8. Enviar a alguien un regalo inesperado
It doesn’t have to be a big, great gift.
Sorprende a tu pareja, hermana o amiga con flores o chocolate, o con algo más personal, como una obra de arte mural o un álbum de fotos con todas las fotos que tenéis juntos.
Whether it’s something classic or something intimate for just the two of you, it will definitely make them so much happier than they were before getting the gift.
La mejor forma de hacerlo es de forma inesperada, en un día normal en el que no tengas motivos evidentes para hacerles un regalo, como un cumpleaños o un aniversario.
9. Leave a joke on someone’s answering machine
Call your friend when you know they’re not home and leave a super funny joke on their answering machine. Start by saying: I heard something today and it just cracked me up: INSERT JOKE HERE.
It’s a nice way to let someone important to you know that you’re thinking of them and also share something funny.
10. Dona algo a la caridad
The most certain way that you’re going to make someone’s day is by donating something to charity. There should always be time for thinking about the less fortunate.
Do whatever you’re able to do; buy a meal for someone or donate some clothes or other stuff you don’t use.
The best way to make sure you’ll make someone smile is to donate your time and spend it with people who are in need.
