Six Thoughts That Make Every Morning
Beautiful
|
As we
go about our daily lives, we often begin to take life for granted - as if
there'll always be another day to succeed the last. The truth, however, is
slightly different, because the last day for each and every one of us will
arrive sooner or later. Here are six thoughts that I think about each morning
that help me retain my humility and help me keep a bright outlook on
life:

1. "I'm alive... how lucky am
I?"
It may
seem obvious, but when I open my eyes, I like to take a
moment, reminding myself that I'm here - here to observe, take in, think
and travel along the path of the great journey that is life. My eyes
see, my chest draws in air. Some parts of me ache,
but it's all a part of being alive. I am part of the world, a human being
with so many possibilities for thinking and feeling. Every morning, I
take a few seconds to fully appreciate that. I'm alive, and when I consider
how many people there are who are no longer living, I
can't believe my luck! 2. "I wonder what today will
bring..."
Curiosity
is a fine reason to look forward to a new day. As fantastic and fascinating
as our dreams are, we can never anticipate what a new day will bring. A
significant world event might take place, or something fun to remember later
on in life might happen. Every
day is a curious puzzle, and we won't see the whole picture until we
complete it. Sometimes it's a bad day, and we learn a lesson or create a
sad memory. Sometimes it's a great day that
we'll remember vividly because of the fun we had. Sometimes,
a day is just completely normal, but I do try to learn a little
something new with each one that passes. This means that they're all worth
something to me. 3. "I'm going to give this day my
very best, so that I can rest my head tonight with deep
satisfaction..."
Look
out world, I'm here to do my part! Every day is a
chance for me to show my worth, either by taking care of my loved ones,
helping out others, doing my work well or just living life the way I
want to. It
doesn't matter what I do, as long as I feel like I haven't wasted my day
on something frivolous or pointless. Even if it's hard work all day, I'll do
my best to make myself proud. That's what I want from my day - the
satisfaction of it being done right. 4. "I love and accept myself
unconditionally..."
Believe
it or not, this thought took me more than 40 years to accept. But now, as I
open my eyes, I remember all that I am. All the wisdom I've learned, all the
memories I've made and all the imagination I have - they make me the
person I am today. I'm proud of being me, for embarking on that journey
of self-creation led me to become myself. I am
who I am and I like myself. I am at peace with myself. It feels wonderful to
fully accept this, and my place in the world. Once I feel that love for
myself, I get up with a smile on my face. After all, I'm spending time with
someone I care about - myself! 5. "I see the world through eyes
of awe and wonder..."
I have
seen many things before, but I've never seen TODAY. The world is full of so
many amazing people and things. I only need to go to the nearest
computer to have access to almost all human knowledge. There are vivid sights
to see outside, family and friends to enjoy, books to read, shows to
watch and pets to play with! The
world is incredible, and I try to remember that every morning before I go out
to greet it. When you have that kind of appreciation for the world, you
learn to notice the small, beautiful details about it, from the color of the
sky, to the smell of the rain. May also interest you: This Wise Monk Shares the Simple Secret to Being Happy A Few

Bad Day Until I Came Across These Words 6. "I have all the time I
need..."
Nothing
is gained by trying to rush through life. Putting aside that feeling of
"I don't have enough time" was one of the best lessons I ever
learned. Life is too precious, to spend it feeling rushed. Believe there is
time for everything, and go through your days at your own chosen pace. If you
have a dream, work on it every day, but don't rush, just accept that time
passes, and you've done what you could for the morning, the day, the week and
the month. Time will never stop passing - it's up to us to move
with it instead of fighting it. Now go and have yourself a wonderful
day! 옮겨온 자료 – 무학(柳) ＊항상 건강하시고 날마다 즐겁고 행복하소서＊ MSCcafe.net“아침해 카페”에서 CK Yu ♣ 제목: ◐ 6 Thoughts That
