Smiling - A Simple Step in Leading a Positive Life

When people think of you, they'll smile.
My father told me those words because he was instilling in me the seeds of a positive life. 

Living a positive life is a choice that I chose to live by, and I want to share one of the simplest steps with you. It's the Smile. 

Smiling is simple, it's FREE, and it's a universal language. I have traveled to more than 30 different countries, and the smile seems to be the best way to initiate positive communication.

Believe it or not,  a physician, Dr Ward Crampton, would prescribe a 'miracle exercise' that didn't require special medicine, equipment or special clothing. You didn't have to do exercises that left you breathless and exhausted. You could do it standing up or sitting down. But he did suggest doing it in front of a mirror was good, but doing it with another person was best.  

Here is Dr. Crampton's miracle exercise:
  • Raise the corners of your mouth an inch, take a deep breath, and hold it for 10 seconds.
  • You are smiling. If you have people watching you, they'll probably start smiling, too.
  • Now release your breath in short exhalations. You're now laughing. Unless those other people are curmudgeons, they'll undoubtedly start laughing, too.
The effect? A general feeling of well-being. It triggers happy emotions within you and makes the people with you feel better, it extends your life, and it improves your attitude and the people around you.

Have you ever heard of a man by the name of Dale Carnegie? He is the master of making friends. He wrote the following about the power of the smile:


"It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without it and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature’s best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anyone 'til it is given away. And if in the hurly-burly bustle of today's business world, some of the people you meet should be too tired to give you a smile, may we ask you to leave one of yours?

For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give."

Smiles are FREE. Be generous. Give them away often and see the results.
