The power of a smile is never-ending. Once you give it to others in your immediate physical environment, or even in a photograph, it spreads to all those people, and they go out feeling good and smiling, in turn affecting countless others. Thus, you can spread your smiles around the world, by the millions, just by smiling, or just by sharing this book with others. You can remind them to surround the planet with smiles. Now with the Internet, we can share the power of our smiles through our digital photography, through our sharing of this research; we can network our smiles around the world billions of times.
Would you like to share your smiling metaphors, quotes, anecdotal stories or inspiring experiences? Let me know how a smile empowered you or a loved one or a child. I’m looking forward to creating a world of smiling, hopeful people. Send your submittals to me by e-mail, regular mail, or voice mail:

What better purpose or mission than the sharing of smiles? It is so simple, it doesn’t take planning or a board of directors or a large budget to make it happen. It’s something you can do, and you can teach others to do it, by doing it. And by doing it, your own heart keeps saying, “YES!” And your mind says, “YES!” And your body says, “YES!” And you spirit says, “YES!”
It keeps rebounding in an echo. Smiling is the best way to bring peace in the world. To say, “Let us forgive, let us live in the element of peaceful coexistence.” And smiling reassures all that it is a safe world. Creating a smiling world seems like such a simple thing, and yet it can do so much.
Smiling can bring so much goodness, happiness and joy to the world. As we realize that we’re all in this together, by smiling we unleash heretofore hidden forces in our hearts, bodies, minds, and spirits. The research shows proves smiling could be the most powerful thing you can do, to reveal that goodness is simple, and a good world starts with a smile, nothing more.
The more you focus on that, the more you focus on the heart rather than the problems, or the heart rather than the mind’s arguments, and the smile, thus the more you’re protected from any negativity in the world. In other words: “Goodness is a radiance that casts no shadow.”
Wherever you can bring a smile, or stimulate them, generate them, you’ve brought healing, enrichment, and empowerment. On a crowded city street, in an elevator, in a checkout line, in the country, in your garden, in your home, while you’re driving, while you’re bathing, while you’re talking, always make it a habit to smile. It’s the best habit you could ever develop. It will automatically enhance your life so immeasurably that you’ll come to realize that the best things in life are free, which helps nudge the other things in life into perspective.
Start making your dreams come true. Start with something that you can do right now, and that’s smile! Throughout this book, I’ve given you helpful hints and research material. But give it a 30-day test and ask others around you to do the same and find out what it can do for your life.
PROGRAM YOURSELF TO SMILE.
Smile in a mirror at yourself, and you’ll feel good all day long. Smile to people around you, and they’ll love being around you, and they’ll want to share their smile, too. If they have a faint smile, help them to make it big. You can use humor and laughter to cajole them along and to reinforce your own good feeling. Volumes could be written about the
benefits of smiling, but let your own smile and the feeling you get from it, and those around you, be your critical appraisal.
Smiling is such a simple technique. Anywhere, anytime, smile. If you like you can even e-mail me your smiles and those of your loved ones. Big close-up smiles, lots of teeth, or no teeth! Get out your digital camera and send us your smiles, so we can include them on our SMILING website and link you to others around the world who are part of the SMILING team. “Service with a smile” is our motto.
The inherent wholesomeness of a smile says the same thing, in the same language, to everyone it reaches, young or old. Good will and good intention create harmony in the world and within ourselves, thus, as many researchers have said, creating an actual heart and brain coherence that leads to a wholesome and happy life.
The best gift to give on a birthday or at Christmas is your smile. Include a smile with everything you do. When you’re serving food, when you’re walking along the street, when you’re in the line at the post office, keep smiling.
A smile is flying upward to Heaven balanced by the roots of the earth. Allow yourself to remember all of the thousands of smiles you have received in your lifetime from family and friends, and books and pictures. Let your memory roam. How did those smiles make you feel? Can you remember a smile that lifted you up when you were down, when someone came into your life and smiled?
Beyond all the data, reference material, and personal experiences, a smile is the universal frequency that lifts your level of vibration to the highest spiritual practice. It allows you to be in the spiritual realm that transcends religions, dogmas, and
differences. Use smiling as a spiritual practice, for it is nothing less.
A smile allows you to offset the challenges of the day. The higher frequency always cancels out the lower frequency. The higher power of love and joy prevails over fear, negativity, doubt and shame, vibrating like a universal Sun. Allow your smile to cover the whole world like the Sun, and feel your smile warm your body like the warmth of the Sun, thawing out the chill of winter. Smile in truth from your heart. A smile is the
greatest gift we can give each other.
KEEP SHINING AND KEEP SMILING!

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.
