Probably you opened this post thinking if I could really name a million ways how a good smile can change someone. Sorry to disappoint you but it’s just an expression. 😉

But if you actually want to find a million, you probably would. That’s how impactful a good smile can be.

Want me to prove by changing your mood this very instant?

Wait.

Ta-da!

You smiled and watched it again, didn’t you?

See, something as simple as this can make your mood better.

Honestly, this is enough of a reason to smile more but you still want me to name a million ways?

Not fair.

Okay, fine, I’ll try. 😀

A good-hearted smile is contagious. My brother has a great laugh and every time he laughs, no matter how cranky I feel that day it brings a smile to my face. A smile or laugh that comes from the heart is that contagious.

It brightens up even the darkest of rooms.

A genuine smile can shift your mood within a matter of seconds. That’s exactly why we should start every day with a wholehearted smile. It sets your mood in the right place and keeps you going ahead strong.

A heartful smile makes the other person remember you better. Even the people I’ve met once or twice have talked about how I smile to the people I know. Why? They might not know me well but they think they know because I smiled at them. It’s like a pleasant welcome which makes me and the other person comfortable.

A confident smile will give you the strength to achieve your goals. Many times when I was dejected while working on my career, a simple smile brought my spirit back. Sometimes the answer to a problem comes from within, and it can be as tiny as a smile.

A smile from someone you love might be everything to you. Especially if the reason behind that smile is yourself. I remember feeling so good every time I saw my grandfather smile during his last days. It filled my heart with contentment and true joy. Now whenever I miss him, I remember the same smile and it makes me feel happy again.

A smile is…

Attractive.

Heart-warming.

Positive.

Charismatic.

And can be even life-changing.

But why am I even talking about a smile so much? And why did I say a good smile, is there a bad smile too? Of course. The way we smile has been changing. I’ve seen a smile that’s calculative, a smile so cunning, a smile that is manipulative, a smile that doesn’t reach their eyes, a smile that’s so painfully sarcastic, and a smile that’s depressive.

Smiles such as these give happiness to neither ourselves nor the people around us.

I believe a good smile can change a day and a life. And I wish people would smile with their hearts and be happy.

Now it’s time for a riddle.

What is it that looks pretty on everybody at all times?

A smile.

There’s no way it can look bad on anyone. So enjoy it often and let it shine on everyone around you.

I shared some of my experiences. You might also have similar experiences where someone’s or your own smile helped you. Do share it in the comments and spread positivity.

I’ll see you again.

 

Lots of LOVE,

Nikki.
