This is on style, obviously.
And eyes. You want to look into them to see the aliveness looking back at you, to look straight into the soul and know. You just know. With smile, though, you can see it from afar and feel it entirely. Whereas live is the most wonderful way to do it, on tv is not that bad either when it’s Roger Federer who’s smiling. Bursting into laughter.
The media is generally head over heels for Federer, but it’s his record eighth Wimbledon title that’s making headlines around the world today.
However, there’s something else in the air, too! He’s genuine, on top of his breaking down records, mastering some super technique and having superpowers. He’s considered to be the greatest tennis player of all time, but it must be his realness at heart that got him into all of our hearts. He is who he is and he does what he does at the highest frequency possible.
Even when he smiles. Or is it the smile that makes him the man he is today?
A smile can tell everything about someone if you just pay attention. When you see right through someone, and they like to be seen by you — and vice versa — that’s when you both become something else, and that’s great. Rare, but great, so who cares about rare when it’s great? What? It doesn’t even involve staring (until it does). It’s all in a couple of seconds. It’s a feeling. It hits you. It hits someone. All of a sudden.
That’s one situation. Another one is in the video mentioned above.
A smile creates a certain energy that radiates into the universe, and boom — a moment of synergy lights up the world and the soul. It’s something no one can resist, and it only happens when it comes naturally. Just like when we were kids, with no barriers or fears. Smiling from the heart and being human is always available inside of you — yoo-hoo!
The video dates back to 2010, when Rafa Nadal was rising up the ranks. He succeeded in reaching the top, sitting next to Federer, and, in the most romantic, idiotic way possible smiles. I mean I would, too, wouldn’t you? Especially when Roger does it next to you, so fearlessly.
Is this about the love for life? For the passion to do what we’re here to do? For the one we come home to? For the world we create from the inside out? We are energy, regardless. We can be who we want to be. We can do what we want to do, but never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun, as Katharine Hepburn said.
We might not ha-ha all the time, but smiling from the heart sounds like a constant in life. It gets us to bumping into the one we can laugh idiotically with. Just be with.
This might not be about teeth this or teeth that, but taking care of our teeth is a must — they don’t call them diamonds for nothing after all. Smiling is about sparkling eyes, nevertheless, is about letting go of control, is about butterflies, is about the soul. Hello!
It’s light.
And sometimes, just sometimes, it’s someone or something that takes you places, and boom — you find yourself smiling from the inside out, like never before. And vice versa. Because sometimes, just sometimes, it’s someone or something that sees in you something you didn’t even know was there. And vice versa. It’s not about how good or bad the jokes are; it’s something else.
Roger Federer has style, and we haven’t even gotten into fashion yet.
