3. Less Baggage, Better Relationships: "Stuff" refers to not only material things, but mental and emotional clutter as well. By cleaning out needto, haveto, and oughtos, of your own life, you'll have better relationships because there's not as much "stuff" in your life to fight about. Put past in past by returning anything you borrowed, by apologizing to whoever you need to, by getting your bills up to date, by sending card or gift you forgot to send, by making phone call you need to make. You get idea. Anything that you "should" have done, but neglected to, has you Tied To The Past.

4. More FUN! Having an easified/simplified life means having more time for things you dream of like reading, or traveling, or entertaining, or exercising, or playing with kids, or visiting with friends. You'll feel more in control because clutter -- physical, emotional, and mental -- will no longer dictate how your space is arranged, or how your time is spent (looking for things), or how your energy is used (frustration, aggravation). Need I say more?

Simple smiles make me feel better; they make everyone feel better. Whether you are one smiling or person seeing a smile, they communicate friendliness, happiness, content, etc. Those are emotions I like to grab on to when my day isn't going so well.

Think of how you feel when you are walking down street and a gentleman walking in other direction smiles and bids you a good morning. You feel acknowledged and grateful for kind gesture.

Anyone who uses telephone to earn a living knows that wearing a smile improves way they sound to person on other end of telephone, even if they can't see it. Those who wear smiles appear more lively, enthusiastic, and friendly. Those who don't, tend to be more monotone and dull.

The same effect happens in real life when you smile at someone. What you say to them will not only ring better in their ears, but will be of more interest.

Smilers also find they are happier than people who don't bother to shape their lips. By forcing yourself to smile for a short period of time, you will create a habit that improves your mood, and, ultimately, your outlook on life.

Smile at everyone you see, spread disease, and you will see world turning into a place you don't mind being.
