the BIGGEST smile

In order to find an answer to my question I asked the happiest person I know; James.

James is an African-American guard in my office building. Every day, without fail, James has a big smile from ear to ear. He is ALWAYS in a good mood.

Yesterday I stopped and asked him how he could be happy every day, rain or shine.

He replied simply, "I'm just a happy person!".

I pushed him a little more and asked how he was able to be happy; how he was able to not let other people's bad moods bring him down.

He answered, "You just gotta be happy with yourself."
