mornings

I feel very happy to see the sun come up every day. I feel happy to be around. ... I like to take this day- any day-and go to town with it.

The mind is found most acute and most uneasy in the morning. Uneasiness is indeed a species of sagacity-a passive sagacity. Fools are never uneasy.

My credo is etched on my mirror in my bathroom and I see it when I brush my teeth in the morning. It says "Don't worry Be Happy Feel Good." When you see that first thing and you reflect on it the rest of the day seems to glide by pretty well.

To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy ... is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.

When you rise in the morning form a resolution to make the day a happy one for a fellow creature.

Today a new sun rises for me everything lives everything is animated everything seems to speak to me of my passion everything invites me to cherish it.

Each golden sunrise ushers in new opportunities for those who retain faith in themselves and keep their chins up.... Meet the sunrise with confidence. Fill every golden minute with right thinking and worthwhile endeavor. Do this and there will be joy for you in each golden sunset.

You should always know when you're shifting gears in life. You should leave your era it should never leave you.

A day dawns quite like other days in it a single hour comes quite like other hours but in that day and in that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us.

Someday the sun is going to shine down on me in some faraway place.

With every rising of the sun think of your life as just begun.

The sun is new each day.

Put yourself in competition with yourself each day. Each morning look back upon your work of yesterday and then try to beat it.

Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it. ... If you have made mistakes even serious mistakes there is always another chance for you. And supposing you have tried and failed again and again you may have a fresh start any moment you choose for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down but the staying down.

There will be something anguish or elation that is peculiar to this day alone. I rise from sleep and say: Hail to the morning! Come down to me my beautiful unknown.

What humbugs we are who pretend to live for Beauty and never see the Dawn!

The first thing each morning and the last thing each night suggest to yourself specific ideas that you wish to embody in your character and personality. Address such suggestions to yourself silently or aloud until they are deeply impressed upon your mind.

Get out of bed forcing a smile. You may not smile because you are cheerful but if you will force yourself to smile you'll... be cheerful because you smile. Repeated experiments prove that when man assumes the facial expression of a given mental mood any given mood then that mental mood itself will follow.
