The benefit of a smile, hidden in S.M.I.L.E.

“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do” – Mother Teresa

Indeed, we all know, see and feel the power of a smile. I wonder, then, why we don't see more smiles in the streets, in our offices or at events where there are many people. 

Imagine everyone with a smile; it's not that difficult. 

Anyway the benefits of a smile are multiple. We have bundled them together under a great acronym: S.M.I.L.E.

S : Strength. A smile gives you the strength to move on, to turn a page. It has the strength to be contagious. It has the strength to display confidence.

M : Meaningful. A genuine smile is reflected on your face and in your eyes. It shows appreciation, happiness, satisfaction or gratitude.

I: Inspiring. A smile inspires others to smile and to feel your positive vibes. It inspires others to repeat what was good or to continue the actions that initially triggered the smile.

L : Leadership. A smile sets an example to be followed, an essential character trait of a charismatic leader. 

E : Engaging. People with a smile display a personality which is engaging. They appear more attractive and satisfied.

There are so many reasons to smile more every day.

Yoko Ono (John Lennon’s widow) said: Smile in a mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start see a big difference in your life!
