The Inner Peace

Mother Teresa once said that peace begins with a smile, and it is true. Anyone could have the worst day, but when someone offers a simple smile, the day gets a little brighter and the burden a little lighter. Making a difference in someone’s day doesn’t mean we have to pay for it. We never know what someone is experiencing internally, but this simple gesture can turn their world around.
