Smile.

Let your smile change the world, 

but don't let the world change your smile.

There is something so powerful about a smile. This short yet profound thought is as a result of sitting on the train this chilly Friday morning and looked up to find a whole carriage full of Sydney-siders in peak hour public transport almost frowning. 

Whether it was the chill of the 8 degree foggy morning or thought of going to jobs that they hated or purely just being half asleep without their caffeine shot.. it was a moment where I decided I could change someone's day - maybe even the person in front of me who was squashed in between two people with earphones in.

The result of a small yet significant gesture changed her frown to a smile.

Underrated. Yes.

Simple. Definitely.

Influential. Absolutely.

So next time, you're tired/frustrated or just cannot be bothered - try smiling  If you don't start, who will; you never know whose world you might be changing as a result.

A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. 

- Proverbs 15:13
