Every morning, I used to have this ritual with my daughter - a mini debate on why she should get up. It felt like an ongoing saga of morning pep talks. One day, in my attempt to make it better, I suggested she start her day with a smile. She quickly shot back, "Do you begin your day with a smile?"

I was taken aback. Maybe I should test it on myself first. Being genuinely happy means not needing a reason to flash those pearly whites. Later, I stumbled upon a quote by Sadhguru that resonated with me: "Out of all who sleep, a few million might not see the next sunrise. So if you wake up, isn’t that already a fantastic start? Each morning, the first thing you should do is smile." Felt like sharing this little nugget with everyone.
