the universal sign

I do not know if it is because school is back in session, realizing that Summer has finally come to an end or everyone just happened to have one of those days at the same time; but the other day I was walking around campus 

and noticed the lack of smiles. 

That day I decided I was going to smile and say hello to any who passed me by, any who caught my eye for one split second and any who seemed to be having their head hang low. That day I realized there is a lot you can gain out of just a simple smile. There is a lot you can feel and receive out of just a simple smile. 

Think about it: 

A smile is such a simple act, but it creates a powerful message. 

There are many stressors, fears, dissappointments and anger in the World but it is your decision whether or not you are going to have it affect your life and alter your behavior. Whether or not it will keep you from being happy. Whether or not it will keep that smile on your face. But just as powerful as a stress, fear, dissapointment or the emotion of anger can alter a day, 
a smile can do just as the same but with a smile, you will gain and benefit
 ten times more than any one bad thing that happens to you. 

I bet you didn't know that through smiling, you can avoid committing several mistakes within your job and school. Through smiling, you will be able to meet all your deadlines and expectations you set for yourself. Through smiling, you find yourself more social and have better communication skills.Through smiling, truly does make you a better person and will create a good impression towards others. I bet you didn't know that the more you smile, the younger you will look. Through just a simple smile, you will bring more goodness and positivity in your life. Through that smile, you may have helped change a day or life to that individual that passed you by. Through smiling, you will have more strength to face those stressful days that just seem to fall apart. 
The World always looks more beautiful when you smile.

So act now and try and bring more of a smile into your life and those that pass you by. You may never know what a simple smile can do to alter your day or the day of someone else. It is one hundred percent true for those who have said that "laughter(smiling) is the best medecine." We all need it in our lives so make the effort to bring it out in your everyday life 'cause no matter how bad your day may seem, there is ALWAYS something you can smile about.
