A good morning starts with a positive outlook and the willingness to get out of bed.
A positive outlook begins by looking forward and not living in the past. Start your day with gratitude for what you have rather than dwelling on what you don’t have.
Look ahead to what you will accomplish that day, and let this be your guide. The more you look forward, the less time there is for feeling sorry for yourself.
