~:[CH13 - Day 300]:~ A Reason to Smile

It was a perfect evening. It was overcast in the day, thus not too hot and cooled off nicely into the evening. As the crowd pulled in, the excitement built. It was great to see Jae on stage. He seemed relaxed as he soaked in the moment. His smile was genuine as it seemed like the joy of this experience had taken over. Watching him perform, I knew that he liked to move back and forth across the stage. I chuckled as I watched the cameraman struggle to keep up, while I felt like I knew his path. It was great to crack that smile at the end of his performance, but even better to see a smile on his face. The arduous road that he's traveled hasn't always been easy, but I am sure that being on this stage performing with such an iconic band, meant the world to him and gave him a reason to crack that smile. For all of us, I hope that we find that reason to smile. Whether it's family, love, goals or more, there is something in our lives that can bring a smile that nobody can destroy. All the trials and tribulations you've faced, will all be insignificant when you can find a reason to crack that genuine smile. The road to finding that smile is not always easy, but when we put our guard down and worry less, we're more likely to discover exactly what we want. All our lives, I'm sure many of us felt the weight of the expectations placed upon us, however, just remember that you need to be you. Find your path, figure out your plan, and do your best to discover the thing more valuable than any treasure you can discover in life, a reason to smile. As while it's easy to mask the difficulties you're facing in a given day, it's much harder to hide a genuine smile that's been accomplished through all the work that you poured into something and the perseverance you showed in the most difficult of moments. The moment you have that breakthrough, is a moment where that beam of light will flow from your incredible smile. For each of us, there is no one right answer to finding happiness and thus, I hope you travel your road confidently and find a reason to smile.
