There is such an immense power in the simple act of Smiling! A lot of people throughout my life have told me that they love my smile. I smile often because I am in a state of joy a lot of the time!

One of my core beliefs is that people prefer to be happy and in a state of joy then to be sad and engulfed in ego. The only thing missing for most people is the lack of tools on being happy and in a higher vibration of joy. What I love about smiling is that it is contagious and the affect of smiling at other people is proof of one of my core beliefs. Whenever I smile while I am walking on the street, people end up smiling back and saying hello to me! They light up! Try it the next time you are walking on the street.

When I smile at my cats, they wink back!

I believe smiling does something chemically in our bodies,  raises our vibration and in turn we perform better in all areas of life. I tested this theory when I took the California Bar Exam. The CA Bar Exam is probably the toughest Bar Exam in the country. I studied 6 days a week for three months in order to get ready for the grueling 3 day exam, which typically has a pass-rate of 30 to 45%. Before I started, I promised myself I would do three things.

1. Study Hard;

2. Maintain good health by eating well and exercising often; and

3. Be Positive.

When the big exam day came, I smiled in every single session.

The affects were tremendous. I had a wondrous amount of energy during the three days and most importantly, I passed the exam on the first try!

Some people may read this and think, well you can’t just fake a smile and have it affect your vibration. Well, don’t fake it! Think thoughts that help you feel better or good and then smile! Even from a purely physical perspective, your body prefers it when you smile because you use less muscles smiling than frowning!

Lot of love, blessings and smiles!
