Energy is contagious. When you catch somebody’s eye as you pass by them, smiling is as easy as making no expression at all. When you smile, others usually smile back. It’s so easy and expends so little energy, yet the return on that small, initial gesture is a little hit of uplifting delightfulness. It creates two more people walking around the world with smiles on their faces. Even if you’re not feeling particularly good, simply turning the corners of your mouth upward, positively changes your mood, and just might make a difference…

In someone else’s, too.
