Be positive and maintain a smile
Can you be positive and maintain a smile? It’s something that J. R. Martinez found was essential to him. How can he be positive? In 2003, while deployed to Iraq, he was the driver of a Humvee when the left front tire hit a landmine. He suffered smoke inhalation and severe burns to more than 40 percent of his body. He learned that the only way forward was to be positive and maintain a smile. He did that during his 33 cosmetic and skin-graft surgeries.
Are you going through anything like J. R. Martinez? If not, get a clue. I’m sure if he can be positive and smile, you can be positive and smile also.
While in the hospital in recovery, a nurse asked him to speak to a withdrawn burn patient, who had just seen his body for the first time.

After about 45-minutes, the patient opened the curtain to let the light into his room for the first time. Right then, J.R. understood the impact he had on this patient to help him be positive and maintain a smile. He decided to use his experience to help others be positive and smile. He began visiting patients in the hospital to share his story and listening to theirs. He always brought the message of ‘be positive and maintain a smile.’
J. R. told Ellen DeGeneres, “If I stay positive and maintain a smile every single day, something good will happen to me.” If YOU stay positive and maintain a smile every single day, something good will happen to you!
How can you be positive and maintain a smile when your whole life falls apart? You acknowledge what’s bad. You decide you are bigger than the situation, and then you make the biggest decision ever-the decision that can make everything better in the future: decide to be positive and maintain a smile. It WILL make things different because the ‘be positive’ vibrations you send out will attract good things, rather than keep you in a victim mentality. When you maintain a smile, it actually creates physiological change in your cells. It tells others to be positive and maintain a smile which helps them send the positive vibes to the universe.
