After digesting "The Hidden Power Of Smiling" Ted Talk by Ron Gutman, I came to realize there is so much power behind what seems to be simple facial expression of smiling. A smile and the authenticity of it, can give you clues to so many aspects of a person's life and well being. Even Mother Teresa has exclaimed, "I will never understand how much a smile can accomplish. In my opinion, everyone looks better with a smile but even more so when they mean it!
When I see or think about a person smiling, I can't help but think of emotions and words such as:
Joy
Happiness
Laughter
Positivity
Hope
Courage
Beauty
Appreciation Welcoming
Accepting
Love
All of these words stated above carry so much value and power to our world and all can be accomplished with a simple smile. Imagine how much good energry can be flowing through humanity if everyone smiled a bit more.
I thought it was interesting when Ron discussed the Pre-1950s baseball cards of Major League Players. He stated that a study found the span of a players smile could predict the span of his life, players who didn't smile lived an average of 72 years and players who did lived to be nearly 80, on average.
If i dont smile enough already, after today I am going to start a lil bit more, even at the little things. At times we find out self saving face and not enjoying enough. Take a minute and smile, apparently there are hidden powers behind them!
