**********************************************************

now onto 'the inside job' business

growing up my mom has always stressed the importance of a SMILE
it really does tell a lot about a person!
&
it makes you look happy
even when your not happy "fake it till ya make it", right?
i'm a firm believer that if you fake it for so long you'll end up being happy.
but, honestly
it is amazing how smiling can actually make you feel better..
smiling leads to laughing which then creates joy...
which in result is a natural relief from stress, simple enough right?
SO,
smile more and REALLY mean it.


smiling is ESSENTIAL in life
1.) tells people that we are approachable
2.) it is the greatest asset we have because of the signals and messages it gives to others about who we are, what we want and how we wish to be. it is like a handy barometer to our mood and the type of disposition we have
3.) it is a big tool in interacting with strangers and making new friendships because we don't have to say anything. a smile cuts across language and says it all while making us seem even more attractive
