A Cheerful Heart Is Good Medicine
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Do I tend the temperature of my heart each day, the way I tend my body?
📝Reflection
When the body hurts I take medicine, yet I left the drying heart untended for years. But this old wisdom says the heart itself is the medicine. Anyone who has been ill knows that deep worry withers even the body. It is not about forcing a smile. It is that deliberately gathering one small joy today saves me more than any tonic.
🌱Apply It Today
Deliberately find one small thing that makes you smile today, and stay inside it for even five minutes.
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
