This smile stat caused my eyes to widen… I actually said “WOW” out loud
Smiles provide the same level of brain stimulation as 2000 chocolate bars or £16,000 pounds — that’s about the same as $20,939.98 dollars!!!*
Holy cow!!! Smiles are powerful! They make us…
More Likeable
Perceived as Cool
Feel Less Pain
Oh, and did I mention, smiles are contagious?
When you smile at someone, they will most likely smile at someone else so your smile starts a smile chain.
Since smiles are so powerful, and have the ability to make life happier, healthier and more positive for everyone, I got an idea…
The Society of Happy People should start a little movement to make the world better by recognizing One Million Smile Starters.Â
Your first question is probably “Who’s a Smile Starter?”
They are the people and pets that make us smile.
We even have a handy little cheat sheet to help make your personal list of smile starter quick and easy.
Your second question is probably “Why did you pick One Million Smile Starters as a goal?”
Well, I don’t really have an answer, other than — can you imagine how much happier our world can be when one million people are thanked for starting smiles.
How would you feel if someone thanked you for being a Smile Starter?
Thinking about it probably made you grin
Here’s what some of our Smile Starter Award recipients have said…
Smile Starters Recognized (11,354)
Smile Starter Goal (1,000,000)
And, making a list of the people who are your Smile Starters will make you a little smilier 🙂
Here’s what some of our Smile Starter Award presenters have said…
Hi Pamela!
My husband and I just returned from a 10 day vacation. My goal was to give 3 smile starter awards each day we were gone to meet my stated goal of 30.
I’m thrilled to say my husband got in on the fun and between us we gave out 52 smile starter awards!
Do you know what he told me tonight? “This is fun! Let’s keep going!” Hehe.
Anyway, just wanted to update you with my (our) new total.
Have a Happy Friday!

I believe instinctively we all want to be Smile starters, and yet sometimes it is difficult to maintain a consistent visage. Being able to provide a tangible award reminds me to spread the message of joy. Being a smile starter has helped me recognize others who are also spreading joy too.
