Some people are bears when they wake up in the morning. They slap their alarms off and then get out of bed and grumble at everyone they see. After some coffee and some breakfast, however, they are usually easier to deal with.

I, on the other hand, have been a morning person for as long as I can remember. Going to an 8:00 class was never a problem for me. I love stepping outside to a comfortably cool, sunny day. I love to see the world coming alive. I love turning on the radio and hearing upbeat music that people are listening to as they start their workdays. They are listening to Fun., Pink, and Neon Trees, which I listen to as well.

One thing I look forward to is my first cup of hot black coffee. It tastes great, and it goes really well with writing. I drink my coffee, turn on some music, open my notebook, and look at the ideas I have written down. I then see if I can turn the ideas into articles. Some ideas do become articles, and some do not. When they become articles, I submit them as soon as possible so that I can begin earning money from them. When they do not become articles, I save them. They may become articles later.

Second, I am eager to check my email. I usually get some junk, of course, such as surveys. I delete these as soon as I find them. Mixed in with the junk, however, I usually find a few exciting emails, such as notification from Street Articles that an article has been approved or word that I now have another follower on Twitter. It is exciting to know that my articles are reaching more people and that I now have the potential of earning more money. I like to post my articles to the social networks early in the day so that more people have a chance to see them. During the daytime hours, more people are likely to be up and online. Therefore, I have the best chance of success if I can post my articles during the day.

Third, I cannot wait to check my earnings. I find it very exciting to see them grow, even if they only grow by just a little bit. I am earning money and making progress, and that feels wonderful. I can focus on my goals and know that if I continue publishing, my dreams can come true.

Finally, I look forward to checking the trends on Twitter and the headlines on usatoday, cnn, and linkedin. I frequently get great article ideas from these sites.

There are many things to look forward to each morning. It may be difficult to pull yourself out of a great dream and out of your warm comfortable bed, but get up. See what wonderful things await you.
