  • Jaden Hayes lost both of his parents at a young age. But he is determined to live life with joy. As Steve Hartman shows us, the six-year-old is embarking on a mission to turn frowns into smiles.

    This little 6-year-old boy has learned something that many adults never learn. The way to be happy is to forget your own problems and look outside yourself to help others. Serving others is the way to true happiness.

If he can smile through it, we can all smile through our hardships. Everything about this cutie made me smile. What a little inspiration.
