People who smile appear more likeable, courteous and competent. Smilers tend to be more productive in anything they do. Our Bible passage reveals that “a merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance”. If you want to live healthy and long, start your day with a smile.
Smiling is contagious, and when we smile we activate neurons in the brain which quickly reflect on others. You will notice that one smile will lead to additional smiles not just for you, but for those around you. You can improve the world with one smile at a time.
