When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you get up in the morning and know you're doing something you love, feel fit and look after yourself, it's just a great thing to do.
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
A beautiful wake-up is one of life's most perfectly happy times.
When you wake up each morning, you can choose to be happy or choose to be sad. Unless some terrible catastrophe has occurred the night before, it is pretty much up to you. Tomorrow morning, when the sun shines through your window, choose to make it a happy day.
Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us, and in the very brilliancy of their gifts some tragic dividing on their ways, is, on this short day of frost and sun, to sleep before evening.
With an undefended heart, we can fall in love with life over and over every day. We can become children of wonder, grateful to be walking on earth, grateful to belong with each other and to all of creation. We can find our true refuge in every moment, in every breath.
I know and value what it means to wake up and be alive and to share my story. I'm so blessed to be here and to be able to talk about it.
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.
Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, this it overflows upon the outward world.
What is life, when wanting love? Night without a morning; love's the cloudless summer sun, nature gay adorning.
