It starts with a smile 32

It’s the first of April, a brand new month. I would really like every­one to smile today. Have a big smile on your face and a light­ness in your hearts. Even if you think that life is seri­ous, life is tough, life is meant to be a strug­gle (oh dear, I really hope that you don’t think this!!) — I want you to smile. Smile like life is fab­u­lous — because it is! Take that light­ness in your heart and add it to every­thing in your life. Because life isn’t hard, life isn’t seri­ous and life cer­tainly wasn’t meant to be a struggle!

When you wake up in the morn­ing, smile and say “Hello world! How are you today?”
When mak­ing break­fast, smile! When your kids are run­ning about smile and remem­ber the times when you used to have that much energy. When you get into the office, smile at your co-workers. Smile when you see your boss, smile when you’re in the gym, smile when you pick up your chil­dren from school, smile when you’re prepar­ing din­ner, smile at the sun­set, smile before you go to bed, smile at your­self in the mir­ror. In fact, take it a step fur­ther and laugh out loud!

You might look like a crazy smi­ley per­son, but remem­ber, smiles are con­ta­gious, it makes you look more attrac­tive, and ele­vates your mood. It makes you look instantly younger and more suc­cess­ful, it relieves stress, boosts your immune sys­tems and low­ers your blood pres­sure. That’s a lot of ben­e­fits for some­thing that doesn’t cost you a thing.

So start today and smile. Hon­estly you’ll see a dif­fer­ence, I promise. Put a smi­ley in the com­ments sec­tion and let me know how it goes!

Smile” and the world smiles with you,
Frown and you frown alone,
The cheer­ful grin will let you in,
Where frowns are never known!

Thank you for that WONDERFUL SMILE! It made me remem­ber: “SMILE AND THE WORLD WILL SMILE WITH YOU!” When my chil­dren and friends see me smile, it is con­ta­gious, they smile also and ask me ‚“IS there some­thing good?” And I say, “YES!” So that starts the day with every­body shar­ing some­thing “GOOD” that hap­pened to them! Very inter­est­ing and pos­i­tive to begin the day! ALOHA and MAHALO!

Some­body once said; “You are never fully dressed, if you are not wear­ing a smile.” I have observed, that a smile, short­ens the dis­tance between two strangers.

Ana says 11 months, 1 week ago

While vis­it­ing a friend in Lon­don, she gave us some flow­ers and we took them back with us on the train ride to Man­ches­ter. My daugh­ter and I were amazed at the fact that every­one looked at the flow­ers and smiled at us, by the time we made it to Man­ches­ter our spir­its were much lighter and we were smil­ing as well. Many blessings.

cornelius says 11 months, 1 week ago

Francine Gravel says 11 months, 1 week ago

Smile is con­ta­gious and is the most heal­ing med­ica­tion we should use to clear our­selves and our world of glum. Today we encounter the major­ity of peo­ple in big city in par­tic­u­lar wear­ing long sad face. when we see a smile it uplift our spirit and gives us hope. So I do wear one every day. I have done this for the longest time and I have received many many smiles in return. this is the best gift you can give and receive.

Lewis says 11 months, 1 week ago

A smile A smile how can you not feel bet­ter when you smile? this is some­thing I have heard time and again threw life. And know that I have con­sciously been mak­ing my self smile for the last cou­ple of yrs. I can hon­estly say that I have more good day’s then I do bad. Now I must say my chil­dren do think that I am a lit­tle weird some times. How ever my rela­tion ship with my chil­dren and other has improved a lot not that they were bad I just had room for improve­ment in that depart­ment. I have been work­ing the Silva sys­tem for one month know and have learned some and yet when I thank about how much more there is for me to improve I just get really excited .

We all need to smile, because the smile makes
us happy, when ever you are in need of a smile
give it to oth­ers.
The more we smile, the more we gain friends, and
gain con­find­ence.
Your smile to your brother is a gift.
Like every­thing in the world, the more you give
the more you gain.

carmen says 11 months ago

My mum does not smile a lot, but I remem­ber one of the most unhappy life peri­ods; one morn­ing I woke up and when looked at my bed­room door there was her, with the biggest smile I had ever seen in her eyes; since that moment the bad period –which had stayed inside me for at least three years– started to change. Smile is the best I can give to my four­teen doughter now

Glad says 10 months, 2 weeks ago

This is the best acces­sory to wear at all time, never fails.
