what's the purpose behind your existence?

i'm not sure what mine is, but one thing i do know is that the energy you put out into the world has a measurable effect, an effect on either yourself or someone else. i know it to be true because i am a result. lately i've come across strangers. these strangers have no idea that they've impacted my life, but they did. and i think that's the point. my mission is simple: i'm going to start smiling more. i generally avoid making any kind of physical or emotional connection with strangers, but i observed the other day an overwhelming amount of people that smiled when no one was around, smiled as they walked, smiled as they sat.

i don't know if something spectacular happened in the neighborhood or if i wasn't included on some big joke...but i encountered multiple smiley people.

and it made me want to smile more.

not only do i want to do this, but it makes perfect sense to. i'm always the first to warn others about speaking it into existence...which means once you say something and put it out there in the world, it's there forever. regardless if anyone even heard it.

so what if i put positive, non-audible signals out into the world? what happens then?

i don't exactly know but i'm going to give it a try.

ps. my next non-audible positive vibe i'm going to start doing more of is the very scary making eye contact. not the creepo kind, but the warm, friendly, cute kind.

watch out, world.
