Join the sMillion Smiles Movement
sMillion Smiles Pledge
Everyone deserves to be happy.
Happiness is not a circumstance; it is a discipline. I am rewriting my recipe for life. I pledge to trade "should" for "could" and "waiting" for "intentional action."
* I Mine for Gold (Purpose) I don’t wait for meaning; I create it. I don’t just go through challenges; I grow through them - using the mess to fuel my growth.
* I Own My Filter (Perspective) I refuse to be a prisoner of my own point of view. I check my blind spots, knowing that everyone is fighting a battle I cannot see.
* I Lift to Rise (Connection) I lift others because I refuse to succeed alone. We rise faster and go farther together.
The Power of sMillion
One smile is a moment. A million smiles is a movement.
The sMillion Smiles campaign isn’t just a personal commitment; it’s a collective movement to change the vibe of our world.
When you pledge, you aren't just choosing better for yourself; you are turning up the voltage for everyone else. We believe that if a million individuals commit to creating meaning and owning their happy, the ripple effect will be felt in our families, our workplaces, and our streets.
Your smile is the spark. Together, we are the fire.
Your Life. Your Recipe. Your Smile.
There is no secret formula.
There are just three ingredients - Purpose, Perspective, and Human Connection.
Learn how to mix your own and unlock more smiles =)
The Core Ingredients
PURPOSE
Your Gold
Stop asking, “What should I do?” and start asking “What energizes me?”. Find the meaning in the mess
HUMAN CONNECTION
Your Fuel
We aren’t meant to rise in isolation. Curate a circle that forces you to level up, rather than defaulting to a crew that comforts your stagnation.
PERSPECTIVE
Your Filter
How you see it is up to you. Learn to reframe the struggle and own your story.
The Question That Changed Everything
For years, people asked Carlos the same thing: "How the hell are you always smiling?"
He never had an answer. But he knew one thing: his smile wasn't magic. It was work.
While working in the high-stress world of Child Welfare Services, this question pushed him to go under the hood of his own life. He realized he wasn't just "being happy," he was fighting for it. He had to intentionally deconstruct the habits, the mindset, and the choices that kept him afloat when others were drowning.
He did the work to map it out, so you don't have to guess.
The Team: Perfectly Imperfect Humans
We are diverse in our backgrounds, but united in our grit. We don't just write about connection; we live it.
We are the friends who don't let each other coast. We challenge one another to be more patient parents, more present partners, and sharper professionals.
We push each other to dream bigger, live louder, and stay true to who we actually are, not who the world wants us to be.
We’ve messed up, we’ve learned, and we’ve kept going because we have each other’s backs. We are proof that when you surround yourself with people who force you to level up, you don't just survive the journey, you enjoy it.
What is a SmileMinder?
A SmileMinder is more than merchandise; it’s a physical anchor for your mental health.
In the noise of daily life, your brain defaults to stress. It is easy to forget your commitment to happiness. A SmileMinder is your manual override.
Whether it’s the hat you catch in the mirror or the sticker on your laptop, these tools serve as a pattern interrupt. They're Smile Reminders serving as a visual cue to stop the spiral and remind you:
You are in the driver's seat.
The 3-Second Reset When you see a SmileMinder, it triggers an internal audit:
* The Check: Am I owning my mood, or is the mood owning me?
* The Shift: Is this a bad day, or just a bad moment?
* The Choice: I choose better. I choose to fuel my growth.
You don’t wear a SmileMinder to tell the world you’re happy; you wear it to remind yourself that your happiness is a choice you make every single day.
