Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I’m your host, Andrew McGivern, and today is October 3rd. Now, today’s a special one—it’s World Smile Day. A whole day dedicated to the simplest, yet most powerful gesture: a smile. If you need an excuse to flash those pearly whites, you’ve got one now. World Smile Day was created by Harvey Ball, the artist behind the smiley face. He wanted to dedicate a day to smiles and kind acts, which sounds like a pretty solid way to brighten up a Friday, don’t you think?
And we have good reason to smile because it is also National Taco day and Tacos make me smile!
And now lets move on to todays quote... The quote of the day is from Tony Robbins and it fits perfectly with today’s theme:
"Don't let the world change your smile, let your smile change the world"
Wow... what a great concept. Your smile can affect the people around you and create a domino effect that increases happiness around the world!
Don't believe it... try it! At the very least you will feel better.
Tony Robbins says that if you control your posture in a powerful stance and look up and put a huge, ridiculous smile on your face - even if you are depressed it will be impossible to maintain a depressed state if you are smiling. So, there you have it—science-backed, smile-magic from Tony Robbins himself. It’s like hacking your own mood. You know, some people go for coffee first thing in the morning to feel better, but what if you just tried smiling? It’s cheaper, has fewer calories, and, well, won’t keep you up until 2 a.m.
But actually if you remember all those health benefits from National Coffee Day a few days ago you might want to do both... smile and drink your morning coffee! Robbins isn’t just talking about those big, toothy grins either. Even a small smile can trigger a shift in your brain. It’s as if your brain sees your face smiling and goes, “Oh, we’re happy now? Cool! I’ll get on board with that.”
Sometimes your body knows what to do, even when your mind is trying to convince you otherwise. And here’s the thing about smiles—they’re contagious. Ever notice how hard it is not to smile when someone else does? It’s like catching a yawn, but way more socially acceptable. You can spread a little happiness just by flashing a smile to a stranger today. And hey, who knows, you might just make their day too.
Let the domino effect begin... So, here’s your mission today: take part in World Smile Day. It doesn’t matter if you’re feeling stressed, tired, or overwhelmed—try smiling anyway. It might just turn things around for you… and someone else too.
And if all else fails... there is always Tacos.
That’s all for today. I’ll leave you with this: Remember, the best curve on your body is your smile. Thanks for joining me on The Daily Quote. Go out there, smile, and make it a great day. I’ll see you tomorrow for another daily quote!
