geniality - noun - the quality of cheerfulness, friendliness
As you may already know, a word has two levels of meaning: the denotation or the dictionary's definition and the connotation, or the implied meaning. Even though a word might have a tepid denotation, its connotation could lean toward the scalding. Geniality is not one of those paradoxical words as its denotation and connotation are as warm and inviting as Caribbean waters.
If someone refers to you as genial, you are in good shape. But how can you as a flawed being (a human) achieve consistent geniality in a stormy climate? Attitude. Decide what about this life makes you happy and concentrate on it. Keep the thought in your head as you approach the day and the other people that punctuate it. After all, there is an immediate reward that can be reaped if you are affable and altruistic toward others. You simply are returned the kindness. That in itself is something to smile about.
