Your Smile, Business Card and Trademark

 I came across this little gem of words and thought it was worth sharing!

How clever is this?  Forget fancy resumes....according to this, we are all walking around as our own little brands.  It's really pretty true!

Think about it:  Our smile really is our logo. It's the first thing people notice.. kinda like the golden arches at McDonald's (those golden arches were/are always restroom stops) or the swoosh on Nike shoes.  A smile says, "This is who I am, and yes, I'm open for business....the business of KINDNESS."

I thought about  our personality being our business card...our personality represents our business card so to speak.  How neat, that we don't have to go around handing out cards... Our personality always shows up (good or bad.)  

I love glitter, so hopefully my personality spreads a little of the shiny stuff around.  And then I think about those with a  calm and steady type of personality.... Those whose calmness makes everyone breathe a little easier.  Both of these types of personalities can be a blessing to others.   Either way, our personality speaks volumes without us ever needing a business card.  

And then....Let's talk about our trademarks.  Who knew we had trademarks??   The way we make people feel for instance.  This is the part that sticks.  Long after our conversations fade and our faces blur, people remember whether we made them feel valued and encouraged, OR if we leave them with a feeling of disappointment by the way we treated them. It's the  trademark we choose and live by that becomes our stamp.  

There really is no need for me to ask each of you what your trademark would be....I already know!!  Each of you have a contagious JOY about you  that radiates sunshine.  Bright, genuine happiness is what I see, and kindness is definitely your trademark.  Each of you make those around you feel valued and loved.  I can see this is each of your post and your comments. 

  This kind of trademark touches  hearts (mine for sure) as you inspire others and you point others towards God.  When our "Life trademark" mirrors God's heart, it becomes a beautiful witness of His love.   

You all know me....I think I'll try to decorate my "Trademark."  I think a few decorations will make this fun!!!

I'm gonna add a dash of glitter aka laughter.....Maybe accent it with kindness (a few rhinestones).....Layer it with Faithfulness (like a bold border)......Personalize it with gratitude (by adding Color).... 

AND....don't you think everything is better with a cherry on top??  A cherry on top of a sundae sure makes everything sweeter!!  

Shug.......
