We radiate a different kind of energy when we’re frowning and gloomy, as opposed to when we’re smiling and happy. Smiling is a sign saying, “Enter,” whereas frowning says, “Do Not Disturb.” Many of us find it hard to smile because we’re consumed with what’s missing in our lives. But as my mother Karen says, if only we woke up every morning with the consciousness that everything we have is on loan, it would be much easier to smile. Think about how much brighter our lives would be if we spent more time obsessing over gratitude rather than lack.
