Your attitude and thoughts in
the morning are the ones that are going to set your mood for the entire day. To
help you start it on a more positive note, we’ve handpicked some great morning quotes
that you can bookmark and read anytime you wake up feeling cranky.
You know how you sometimes say
that you hate mornings? Well, it’s not the actual mornings that you hate.
Sometimes it’s the fact you have to get up and do something that you don’t
really want to do or go somewhere that you don’t want to go. Or maybe you’re a
night owl and that definitely conflicts with your ability to wake up early.
Every morning has its own charm,
even a foggy or a rainy one. Don’t let your daily tasks ruin the glory of a new
sunrise and smile as soon as you open your eyes. This will radically change
your mood for the rest of the day. Just try it!
