It's early morning here in my country! And I think it is going to be a good day. If not, I will still make it a good day. lol And while we do our thing for this day, let's put in mind this story I'm going to share. happy

A rich man once asked a friend, "Why am I criticized for being miserly? Everyone knows I will leave everything to charity when I die."

"Well," said the friend, "let me tell you about the pig and the cow."

The pig was lamenting to the cow one day about how unpopular he was. "People are always talking about your gentleness and your kind eyes," said the pig. "Sure, you give milk and cream, but I give more. I give bacon, ham, bristles. They even pickle my feet! Still nobody likes me. Why is this?"

The cow thought a minute and then replied, "Well, maybe it's because I give while I'm still living."

Good day everyone!

That was great sharing. Giving open up the receiving! Here's a beautiful article by pickthebrain.com:

1. Wake Earlier

It seems there are endless articles online espousing the benefits of waking earlier. But when you think about it, this really is the key to overhauling your morning routine. With more time, you are free to develop the habits listed in this article and actually enjoy the morning free from the pressure of having to rush out the door.

2. Have a ‘”Holy Hour”

One of my favorite personal development coaches, Robin Sharma, advocates taking a “Holy Hour” each morning. Basically this is an hour you devote to working on yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually. If you do this, instead of turning on the computer soon after you wake up (as I know many people do in this modern age), you will set yourself up for a great day.

3. Meditate

Meditation is the practice of silencing the mind, and the morning is a particularly good time to do it. Just a few of its many benefits include improved concentration, better health, and increased knowledge of self.

4. Visualize the Day Ahead

A simple, yet extremely powerful, exercise to practice in the morning is to shut your eyes and visualize how you want the day to unfold. This will give you direction as you go about your day and help you to avoid getting distracted with “urgent” but unimportant tasks.

5. Read and/ or Listen to Motivational Material

This may sound cheesy, but one of the reasons I love the morning is that an entire day of endless possibilities lies ahead.

6. Think the Impossible

7. Eat a Nutritious Breakfast

8. Exercise

There are immense benefits to exercising in the morning. First, it raises your metabolism which helps to burn calories all day. Second, it starts the day with a positive accomplishment. I always feel ready to take on anything after exercising, and it is great to carry this momentum into the day.

9. Sharpen Your Brain

Exercising your brain is as important (if not more!) than exercising your muscles.

10. Take Time to Look Good

It’s a fact of life that people judge us by our appearance. For this reason, it’s a good idea to spend a few extra minutes in the morning to ensure you go out into the world looking the best you can. thumbup

Oooops! Thanks learn2earn. I haven't done most of the things you've mentioned for a year or so now. Upon waking up in the morning, I should hurry to work. sad

I think it's about time for me to think over. happy

Thanks. And have a good day!

Hi! Thank you very much for sharing this story of the cow and pig, it is a very good story and it is so true! People do judge you by the things that you do (or don't do) now and not for what happens after you die. It's evening here where I live, 6:45pm, but that's alright. Good Morning to you also!

the story about the cow and the pig is true, that people will not see your kindness you will do when you are gone, rather the things that you do while you are still alive matters more. Good morning to you too!

Well the lesson here is why wait till you die before giving to charity. We can always enjoy the joy of giving when we do it while still alive. There are rich people who could not give because their money is their god. They'd rather keep all the money to themselves and aspire to acquire more and more and they never get satisfied. They never are happy because their love for money is keeping them to an uncontented state. However there are people who are not moneyed and yet are too generous to give and it is in giving that they find joy and that is more than all the money can buy.
