Hey! As you read the title you posed a smile.

But is your soul pleased ?

A smile demarcates us as a human being. Our display of emotions through our expressions marks our identity. The mere contraction of the facial features to form a particular pattern is not a smile. If you think "smile", then there you are. The muscles of the face involuntarily act to create the most universal expression.

But we know that a smile is innately linked to joy, amusement and happiness through varied dimension of our senses.

Unfortunately, we have mastered the art of manipulation and so we counterfeit smiles.

My dear human race let's just reveal our true emotions to collaborate with endorphins and transmit neuronal signals so that our facial muscles trigger a joyful smile. Lend me this minute of yours and I promise to optimise its worth.

Just close your eyes and feel the presence of a dear one; now here is a pure emotion that you are exhibiting. You may visualise a place you love to be at. Well, gather all the elements like sound, fragrance and the dynamism of the surroundings.

Even a glance of your favorite flower can attribute to the feeling of joy.

Go down your memory lane and trace a moment of tremendous fun and hear the laughter. Your senses are tickling now and your smile has reached a mile.

Look up yourself into a mirror and witness the sparkle in your eyes. Your vibes are transmitted into positivity. This is the outcome of the world's most powerful gesture......Your real smile hardwired into the genes.

Smile as you are living in the moment and creating memories, not just while capturing the memories.

A smile with a positive emotion and intent can radiate its contagious influence to illuminate the true sense of being human.

Smile because you love.

Smile because you are loved.
