Smile to the world and the world will smile back at you, the adage goes. But what does it really mean? Well, it means that the world acts as a mirror and reflects back the same attitude you project towards it.
A genuine smile is the prettiest thing you can wear and the most impactful component of the impression you make. When you meet or greet someone with a smile, they usually smile back. This triggers their brain to produce the happy chemicals: Dopamine, Endorphin and Serotonin which automatically makes your presence feel enjoyable to them.
Smiling is also one of the pillars that make up the most desirable personality of all: The Enjoyable Personality. Which begs the question: What is an enjoyable personality?
It’s a super personality that consists of the best of human traits. It magnetizes and inspires.
Its mere presence triggers positive psychological and physiological reactions in all who come into contact with it.
As a result, socially it is always surrounded by friends and loved ones, and professionally, it continuously attracts opportunities and has the ability to convert them to the highest levels of success, regardless of what the subjective version of it may be.
Simply put, throughout life, we interact with numerous people; both socially and professionally. And while looks and physical appearances certainly have their part in making an impression, it is our personality which ultimately has the power to create or destroy relationships and opportunities for us. Luckily, we can choose to adapt and learn traits that will maximize our personal growth and potential.
