The Smile Revolution Manifesto
I will change my world one smile at a time.
This we know to be true:
- A smile transmits love
- A smile increases joy
- A smile is universal
- A smile is an invitation to relationship
- A smile awakens the heart
- A smile is contagious
- A smile is the affirmation of another
- A smile reveals the Imago Dei
- A smile is a choice to have gratitude
- A smile distracts from pain and heals loneliness
- A smile is a fountain of youth
As a smile revolutionary, I will:
- Choose to smile no matter what life brings
- Choose to smile believing that love is stronger than hate
- Choose to smile to overcome fear
- Choose to smile bomb (pass out smiles) in places in need of joy
- Choose to allow love to flow, knowing that as I give love, I receive love
- Choose to smile at those who need a smile most
- Choose to smile knowing a smile changes everything
- Choose to bring world peace by smiling at one person at a time
- Choose to risk being seen as foolish so that smiles may increase
- Choose to embrace life and show gratitude by smiling
“Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh
