How to Make the Most of Your Morning and Reach Your Big Goals

When you wake up in the morning, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by all of the things you have to do. But who said that mornings had to be a race against the clock?

Waking up with intention and purpose sets the tone for your day, and can help you reach your big goals. Here are four things happy people do every morning to make the most out of their days.

Start with Gratitude

The best way to get your day off on the right foot is by starting with gratitude. Before even getting out of bed, take a few minutes to appreciate all that you are thankful for in life—the big things, like family and friends, but also simple joys like a new sunrise or a warm cup of coffee. This practice will help you focus on what matters most and inspire you for the day ahead.

Set Intentions for the Day

Once you’ve tapped into your gratitude, set an intention or mantra for yourself that will guide your actions throughout the day. This could be something as simple as “I am open to learning new things today” or “I will give generously today”. Having this positive mindset will help keep your focus clear and keep any negative thoughts from getting in the way of achieving your goals.

Surround Yourself With Positive People

We become who we associate with, so it’s important to surround yourself with positive people who support and encourage you on your journey towards success. Look for opportunities throughout the day to connect with like-minded individuals who can motivate you when times get tough and cheer you on during successes big and small

Take Time For Yourself

Finally, don’t forget about taking time for yourself! Spend some time alone each morning doing something that brings joy into your life—whether it’s reading a book or listening to music or enjoying breakfast in peace—so that when it comes time to tackle tasks later in the day, you have already filled up your emotional tank enough so that nothing can bring down your mood.


Every morning presents us with a new opportunity—a chance to start fresh, think differently, and reach our goals no matter how daunting they may seem at first glance. By setting intentions each day and surrounding ourselves with positive people who share our drive towards success, we can make each morning count towards reaching our biggest goals in life!

So remember – when you get up in the morning, think of what a priceless privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to learn,to love – and then make the day count!


The Conversation That Still Haunts Me

I’ll never forget him. A guy I used to work with when I was still driving. Sharp. Dependable. The kind of guy everyone liked. But underneath all that? You could see it—he was empty. Same truck. Same hours. Same paycheck. And the same look in his eyes… Like life had slowly drained the color out…
