The morning is extremely important.It is the foundation from which the day is built.How you choose to spend your morning can be used to predict what kind of day you are going to have, and thus, what kind of life you are going to live.

早晨尤為重要。一天之本在于晨。你選擇如何度過早晨的時光，將會決定一整天如何度過。也將決定你一生將要如何度過。

1.They wake up with a sense of gratitude.

1.他們醒來時心中充滿感恩。

In other words, they start the day with love in their hearts and minds, and are truly appreciative of their life and all of its priceless idiosyncrasies.They practice small acts of gratitude in the morning by expressing thankfulness directly to the people they care about, and to the immediate circumstances (health, opportunities, etc.) they could so easily take for granted.

換句話說,他們心中充滿愛來開始新的一天，并真正去感恩生命中的所有。早上他們會抓住任何機會來向他們在意的人表示感激，也會對看似理所應得的外部環境（健康，機遇等）心懷感恩。

2.They begin anew.

2.每天都是新的一天。

They know it's a brand new day to start over and do something different.Yesterday may have been a complete bummer for them, but today is a new day for learning, success and adventure.Realize this.Live now.Not before.Not later.Just NOW - in the moment you're in.

他們知道每天都是新的一天，每天都會做一些不同的事情。昨天可能充滿挫折感，但今天又是新的一天，是學習，成功，挑戰的一天。要意識到這些。活在當下。不是未來，而是現在-你生活的現在。

3.They use self-inquiry to affirm a purposeful start to the day.

3.他們會自我探尋如何度過一個有目的的早上。

Here are three questions I often ask myself:

這些是我經常問自己的問題。

What would I like to remember about today?

我今天想要記住的是什么？

How will I sincerely honor my own desires and truth today?

我今天如何去真誠地尊重自己的需求和真理？

What can I do to make a positive difference in the lives around me today?

我能做些什么積極的事情才能使今天與眾不同？

4.They read something positive.

4.他們讀一些充滿正能量的書。

Some happy people read a bit of scripture each morning, while others read inspiring books, articles or quotes to get their day started.Either way, they have a ritual to read some form of self-improvement literature to stretch and grow their insight and knowledge.It's starts their day off on a positive note with positive, productive ideas to guide their day's journey.

一些快樂的人每天早晨讀經文,另外一些人讀勵志書籍、文章或名人名言來開始新的一天。無論哪種方式，他們通過讀一些自我提高的文學書籍來拓展自己的眼界。他們用積極樂觀,富有成效的思想來指導他們一天的旅程。

5.They follow an effective morning routine.

5.他們遵循有效的早上常規。

There are two simple ways to do this:

有兩種簡單方式可以做到：

First, make your big morning decisions the night before: what to eat for breakfast, what clothes to wear, what you need to take to work, etc.

首先，前一晚就決定第二天早上要做的事情：早飯吃什么，穿什么衣服，帶什么去工作等等。

Second, build a simple routine for as much of your daily morning tasks as possible.

其次，對自己每天早上要做的事情做一個簡單的常規。

6.They give themselves enough time to eat a wholesome breakfast.

6.他們會預留足夠時間來吃早餐。

You can't possibly have a happy, healthy day if you feed your body garbage first thing in the morning.Your body is a temple.You are what you eat.So do not eat processed food, fast food, and all the filth the big processed food companies try to pass off as "healthy."

如果早上吃不好，那你就不能度過快樂，健康的一天。你的身體就像一個寶塔。吃什么，你就變成什么。所以不要吃腌制食品，快餐，以及所有被一些公司標明"健康"的深加工食品。

7.They move on gracefully to what's most important.

7.他們優雅地向目標前進。

As human beings, we are goal oriented.We like making progress.When we accomplish one of our goals, we smile about it.That's why the happiest people I know are also some of the most successful people I know.

作為人類，我們都有目標。我們樂于進步。當我們完成某一目標時，我們會很欣慰。這就是為什么我知道的某些最開心的人卻是最成功的人。
