mornings

This morning do something different: When you wake up in the morning, wake your forgotten and forsaken dreams up as well, wake them up like an insisting rooster!

The war going on within you is a reflection of every war that has ever taken place_ past, present, and future. Each individual is a Spiritual Warrior and there is only one demon you must conquer_your SELF. You are the devil and you are the savior. You are a human with free will, and every morning you wake up and you make a choice.

Our mornings were never "rise and shine." They were "rise and fight." They were loud and ravaging. They were heavy and unnerving, like the after-math of a war, with unresolved territorial disputes. They were never serene, but they were beautiful. More beautiful than the smile you wear when you step out of the shower, more tempting than the sight of you brewing coffee from across the kitchen bar, more promising than a glorious victory, bigger than all our tumultuous past. Bigger than you. Bigger than I.

New morning, new moment of miracles.

Look to the East where up the lucid sky The morning climbs! The day shall yet be fair.

Day's sweetest moments are at dawn.

A man without a plan for the day is lost before he starts.

Never be afraid to sit awhile and think.

Only the thinking man lives his life the thoughtless man's life passes him by.

He who every morning plans the transactions of the day and follows that plan carries thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life.

The day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play the man help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business all this day bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonored and grant us in the end the gift of sleep.

Sunrise: day's great progenitor.

As soon as you open your eyes in the morning you can square away for a happy and successful day. It's the mood and the purpose at the inception of each day that are the important facts in charting your course for the day. We can always square away for a fresh start no matter what the past has been.

Great opportunities come to all but many do not know they have met them. The only preparation to take advantage of them is ... to watch what each day brings.

Everyday ask yourself the question "Do I want to experience Peace of Mind or do I want to experience Conflict ?"

Sometimes I have believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

Only that day dawns to which we are awake.

One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it.
