The Power of a Smile

"Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give him yours." -- Zig Ziglar

Some people think the idea that you can change the way you live is by being more positive is ridiculous.  That could not be further from the truth.  Though a positive attitude and the power of a smile, it keeps your spirits up to get through the more difficult times.

A smile is also a great gift.  Sometimes a simple smile for someone is enough to lift their spirits.  The best thing about smiles is that they are free and take little effort.  Yet, the power of a smile can have a profound effect on your mood and those around you. 

Next time you are feeling uneasy or unhappy just smile!  Smile alone, smile at other people but whatever you do just smile.  See how quickly it can bring your mood up and allow you to plow through whatever you need to tackle or think about.   

Being happy is a personal choice you make everyday.  You can choose to be happy or you can choose not to be.  The power of a smile is so simple and so easy.  Even if you don’t believe a smile can change your day, try it anyway, it costs you nothing and just might bring a whole lot of happiness your way. I challenge you to smile to 5 people today unexpectedly. Then come back here and share your experience.
