Good morning

Written By Salvatore Iacona

"Everything Begins with a Good Morning"

Everything begins with a GOOD MORNING, from the moment we open our eyes. No matter where we are in life or what challenges we face, waking up each day is the start of our mission on this earth.

But how often do we stop and truly appreciate this moment? For most of us, the first thing we do after waking is grab our phones, scrolling through notifications or social media. In doing so, we lose the magical moment that lies behind a simple GOOD MORNING.

Why is This Moment So Magical?

You might be asking, "What’s so magical about a good morning?" Here’s why:

Most of us live by the rhythm of day and night. We go to sleep when it’s dark and wake up with the light of the sun. Even if your schedule is different—if you work nights and wake up in the afternoon—you still have this same moment. It’s the first moment your eyes open.

In that moment, take a second to think: I AM ALIVE.

The Power of a Positive Start

Instead of grabbing your phone and diving into distractions, give yourself five minutes. Put the phone down after turning off your alarm and dedicate this time to yourself. Reflect, breathe, and focus on positivity.

Here’s how you can embrace the magic of your morning:

Gratitude: Remind yourself that waking up is a gift. You’re alive, and that’s a powerful thing.

Positive Intentions: Ask yourself, What can I do today to make my life better? or What good action can I take to help someone else?

Visualize Success: Picture yourself accomplishing something meaningful or facing the day with energy and purpose.

When you start your day with these thoughts, you’ll notice how your motivation and energy shift. You’ll stand up ready to embrace the day ahead—no matter the weather, challenges, or circumstances.

Even on the Tough Days

Yes, there will be days when it’s hard to feel motivated—when it’s freezing outside or life feels overwhelming. But even on those days, remind yourself:

You have a mission.

Your mission is to live your life with happiness and bring good things to the world.

This mission doesn’t have to be grand. It can be as simple as sharing a smile, taking care of yourself, or learning something new.

The Key to a Meaningful Day

Every day starts with a choice. When you wake up and say GOOD MORNING to yourself, you’re choosing to appreciate the gift of life. You’re choosing to focus on the positive, to motivate yourself, and to carry good energy into the world.

So tomorrow morning, when you open your eyes, don’t reach for your phone. Instead, take five minutes to connect with yourself. Ask, What can I do today to make a difference? and let that thought guide you through the day.

Remember, every morning is a new beginning. Make it magical.
