Improve Yourself and Empower Others

It's very easy to look tough, talk tough, and appear to the world you're obviously a huge jerk. A lot of people play that card their entire personal and professional lives. It can be difficult to bring your A game every single day. It's the person that finds the willpower to try who will discover reward. The first thing you should put on in the morning is your infectious smile. It will be noticed by everyone who sees you--a stranger, a friend, your neighbors, work associates, and most importantly, your family.

A thoughtful smile is free, so pass out all you can. Don't let them go to waste. In fact, it takes more facial muscles to frown than it does to smile. Add a simple random act of kindness along with your pearly whites, and it can alter anyone's day to be a little brighter.

So, today, be the reason that you make someone smile. You should choose to use it and pass it on. It might even make you feel better.
