Smile like you mean it.


Please don't ever underestimate the power of a smile. There is a reason that you have lips and teeth and dimples. Yes, to kiss, but mostly it's to smile. A smile doesn't need words. A smile can be communicated in every language and non-language in the world. A smile conveys a positive, uplifting emotion- joy. A smile is meant to be contagious and spread. A smile is not only to show one's own satisfaction, but it is an act that is given to another. No one talks about how they smiled in secret. Smiles are to be shared.

Trust me, as a barista at a busy coffee shop, a smile is a welcome and wonderful thing to see. There is a lady who always smiles and laughs with us every single day! She genuinely appreciates us and what we do, but she is sincerely sweet in showing it to us. It is so pleasant to see. I wish I could smile as much as she does. Everyone loves how nice she is and we always remember her.

There is a reason people want you to smile for a picture- 99% of the time, a smile is your better look. It shows that you are happy. Yeah, it's that simple, but we often forget about the simple things in life. Don't make life complicated, smile.


*She's the best smiler in the world. Although, I'm not sure if she is smiling or laughing here. Way to go, sis.
