You can afford to smile a genuine smile that starts from the inside of your heart.

My new book is coming out. Here’s an excerpt.

Far better: frown, if you feel a frown. Be grumpy, be moody—be honest about however you feel!

Then, we can cheer up. Then, we can see how we’re doing, feel how we’re doing, and go for a walk. Take a bath. Meditate. Exercise.

We can’t take care of ourselves if we aren’t willing to be genuine.

Then, the sun can rise in our hearts.

Then, you can afford to smile a genuine smile—a smile that shines from the inside, out.
