‘Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.’

– Thich Nhat Hanh

October 7 is World Smile Day, a holiday established by Harvey Ball, an artist who created the smiley face in 1963.

The act of smiling activates neural messaging that benefits both our health and our overall happiness.

Smiling is literally contagious — when you smile at someone, they can’t help but smile back because the part of your brain that is responsible for your facial expression resides in the cingulate cortex, an unconscious automatic response area.

Smiling makes us appear more attractive to others. Researchers at the Face Research Laboratory found that both male and female subjects were more attracted to images of people who smiled than those who did not.

Smiling also lifts our mood, and current research suggests that smiling makes us healthier and may even lengthen our lifetimes. Smiling releases neuropeptides that fight stress. When we smile, dopamine and endorphins — the body’s feel-good neurotransmitters — are released, which in turn relaxes our body and can lower our blood pressure and heart rate. These endorphins relieve pain naturally and the serotonin released when you smile can act as an antidepressant. Take that, big pharma!

So, as the late, great, Zig Ziglar said, “Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give them yours.”

Onward and Upward!

As Halloween 2015 approaches, let’s take the time to consider the scariest, spookiest, most blood-curdling thing about real estate investing: The fear of making a mistake.

No one likes to make mistakes, especially mistakes that could involve losing money, but the fact is that you will make mistakes. The easiest way to avoid making mistakes is to sit on the sidelines and do nothing. As famed investor Warren Buffett points out, “If you don’t make mistakes, you can’t make decisions.” Even when you make mistakes, don’t berate yourself; just learn a valuable lesson so you don’t repeat the mistake, and move on.

Never let your fear prevent your real estate investing success. Fear is the enemy of success. Large rewards only result from taking risks, because risk and reward are actually two sides of the same coin. If you are ruled by fear, you’ll never take enough risks and never achieve the success you deserve.

I’m not saying it’s easy — I’m saying that conquering fear is necessary if you want to be successful. You just have to retrain your brain to get past the momentary fear and push toward the payoff you desire.

I’ll admit that there was a time in the past when I was willing to tolerate being truly miserable. Thankfully, those days are behind me. I was able to break through by changing my thinking, and you can too. Good luck. Onward and upward!
