Smile power

You have the power!

I received this email today from one of the MANY inspirational newsletters I subscribe to (this one from Bruno's One Minute Commentary). I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you - it's so simple and so true. "When you smile the world smiles with you.

We all have incredible power but often don't realize it. I am talking about our SMILE power. Want to see if you have it? Next time you meet someone with a crabby face, smile and watch how he changes. Or when you're in an elevator with people you don't know, smile, say something friendly, and watch everyone's mood lighten up. But why should we use this special gift? Well, that one is easy. It's our responsibility to make other people feel good if we can. And smiling is one of the best ways to do so.

You can never give away a smile
- it always comes back.

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
- Phyllis Diller

Bruno&'s commentary
People have been talking about Mona Lisa's smile for 500 years! If you want another proof of smile power, watch how a telephone conversation brightens up when you smile as you talk, even though your conversation partner can't see you. Your smile alters your voice and sends out healthy energy and suddenly everything becomes positive. Need another proof? Smile at a child; you will get one back, immediately! And best of all: It's impossible to become angry when you smile!

Are you smiling right now?
