The ‘BEST’ of the ‘BEST’ Thought-Provoking & Original Quotes from Made You Smile Back!
Made You Smile Back is proud to announce the ‘Best of the Best’ thought-provoking, inspirational and did I mention, life-changing quotes on the world wide web!
First, let me introduce myself to those who are reading my blog for the first time. I’m Beth Elkassih, the owner and creator of ‘Made You Smile Back‘, a dynamic and innovative platform to reach out to others in sharing positivity and encouragement.
I found that there were very few, if at all, places on the internet that one could go to for those suffering from depression, anxiety, grief or just going thru some tough times. Thus ‘Made You Smile Back’ made the transition into becoming more of a mental health advocacy platform.
What I Found On Google ‘Search’ was Eye-Opening!
In figuring out what type of content I wanted to publish on my blog, I did a ‘Google Search’ on: “I just want to be happy again’. Sure, I found several websites referenced. But many were mainly ‘psychology-based’ and yes, there were some mental health sites describing the symptoms of depression, anxiety, etc.
What I found so lacking and amazing was there just wasn’t a website available that one could go to to just get inspired or better yet, relate with. There wasn’t any ‘user-friendly’ sites that were engaging or where others like myself could turn to for help. As a result, I knew I could use ‘Made You Smile Back’ to become this type of a ‘much-needed’ resource.
When deciding on the design and format of my blog, this is the type of blog content I set out to provide to my audience:
- Thought-Provoking Blogs — I wanted to write blogs that not only were inspiring but thought-provoking as well. I wanted my reader to think about his/her situation and ask the hard questions that pertained to themselves.
- Thought-Provoking & Inspirational Quotes — These quotes were not only to be inspirational but thought-provoking as well. I wanted to provide a quick one-minute quote to uplift those who were taking the time to come to my blog and read each day.
- Original but Lifechanging Quotes — As the site evolved, I began creating my own original quotes as I just felt there was so much still lacking with the same ole, same ole reused quotes everyone reads.
- Resources such as e-books, journals, etc. — This is in the works at the moment and will be shortly launched in January 2020. It will include value-added content in the way of e-books, workbooks, etc. for those who are looking to get their smile back!

Original Quotes by Beth Elkassih, Creator of Made You Smile Back
I am particularly proud of the next few quotes that I myself pinned. There were many-a-time (I think this is my own coined phrase! lol), I found myself scouring the internet to find meaningful thought-provoking quotes. And I did to a large degree.

With a little brainstorming and ingenuity, I present to you these for your liking:
