You're Never Fully Dressed...

Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines a smile as:

Smile (n.) A facial expression in which the eyes brighten and the corners of the mouth curve slightly upward and which expresses especially amusement, pleasure, approval, or sometimes scorn.

I define a smile as a simple and free gesture that can brighten your day – or the day of the people around you.

A smile can spark a conversation or help you make a new friend. A smile can attract people to you and ignite a new relationship.

A smile is the single most important thing you can do to enhance your outward beauty.

A smile can transmit a message of 10,000 words in a split second.

A smile can defuse even the most tense of conflicts.

A smile can melt hearts.

If a butterfly gently flapping its wings in Pekin can cause rain instead of sunshine in Central Park, then imagine what your smile can do. Small actions have big consequences. So today, a gentle reminder to flex the most important muscle you’ve got: Smile. Both at yourself and at others; it can change the world.

How do you plan to change the world?
