How do you begin your day? Are there specific things you eat, words you read or say, or even a certain emotion you nurture? Because in many ways – as we know – these choices set the tone for everything that follows.
The tennis player Novak Djokovic, for example, drinks a glass of warm water with lemon and then eats two spoonfuls of manuka honey from New Zealand.
Steve Jobs would look himself in the mirror and ask, “If today was the last day of my life, would I be happy with what I’m about to do today?”
Mary Oliver in her poem Why I Wake Early wrote,
“Hello, you who make the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories…
good morning, good morning, good morning.
Watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness, in kindness.”
How will you begin this day?
