According to an article I read recently, finding things that make you smile will help guide you toward your life purpose.

I tend to agree.

Things that make us smile are generally things we enjoy, and I’ve learned and believe that things we enjoy form part of our purpose.

It can be a starting point and a safe way to ease your way into self discovery.

Here are some of the things that make me smile:

  • My baby. Her corn niblet toes, her fuzzy head, kissing the crook between her neck and shoulder.
  • Cycling. Riding quickly or touring slowly, time spent on my bike always re-energizes me.
  • Making people laugh.
  • My husband.
  • Helping others.
  • Taking a photo and then, when I look at it later, seeing patterns or small details that I didn’t notice when I clicked the shutter button.
  • Meeting a goal.

Of all the things that make you smile, what makes you smile the most?
