“It only takes a split second to smile and forget, yet to someone that needed it, it can last a lifetime. We should all smile more often.”

― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free 

Years ago, I met an individual in my profession who changed my life forever. She represented humility, friendliness, generosity, and a genuine interest in every person she met. She walked into a room and instantly brought energy, enthusiasm, and a brightness that made everyone smile. 

One of the most important ways we can live our lives at our very best every day is by giving a smile to everyone we see and, more importantly, to everyone who sees us. As individuals, we each have the opportunity to impact lives on a daily basis simply by presenting ourselves with a smile – not just on our face, but with our actions as well. 

Living life to the fullest and expressing joy while doing our very best in every activity we participate in can change lives even when we are not aware of it! The best gifts I have received are hearing of the moments I have impacted someone’s life in a positive way and brought a smile to their face. Many times the instance was years ago. 

As Paul writes in our creed, “I will live my life at Level 10…Every Day…Every Time…Without Fail…No Exceptions.” This is not just about the way we live, but also about maximizing the opportunities we have to positively affect the lives of those around us. Wow – think about how many people can be impacted by bringing joy to others’ lives. 

It’s easy, and it only takes a second. Next time you walk down the street, or through your office, smile at everyone you see and brighten someone’s day!
