Are you addicted to your morning coffee? Do you want to quit or do you just love the taste of warm freshly brewed coffee?
There are a lot of people out there who feel that coffee has taken control of their mornings. They feel that they cannot start the day without the alertness the cup of morning coffee brings.

I’ve been given a lot of advices about changing my habit and heading for morning tea, but I just couldn’t find the same results for other beverages. The reason was the amount of caffeine in coffee which is equal to 115 -175 milligrams in 8-ounce of coffee compared to the 30 mg in 8-ounce of tea and 15 mg in the same amount of green tea. You can find how much caffeine is found in all beverages here.

The natural alternative for morning coffee most people recommend is eating an apple .In addition to being a healthy alternative for coffee; the caffeine in the coffee will fade out quickly compared to the lasting effects of the natural sugar in apples, mostly in the form of fructose.

Well, I can give you a better advice. Actually, it is the best advice you get to get the energy boost that can even last beyond morning time.
It’s Honey !
Dissolving a table spoon of honey in a warm cup of water can give you this energy boost multiplied*. When diluted in water, sugar molecules in honey diffuse into the bloodstream in approximately 7 minutes!

Since brain is the largest consumer of sugar, it will function better.
Diluted Honey will also eliminate feelings of fatigue or exhaustion most people feel when waking up, especially after staying up late in the previous night, because it’s instantly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Even if you are satisfied with your morning coffee and you love it and do not feel like giving it up I highly recommend including diluted honey in your morning rituals.
In addition to all the energy boosts to mind and body mentioned above, honey has great benefits, and is actually a cure for many diseases.

* note : After dissolving the honey in warm water, you can keep it in the fridge and have it served cool if you don’t like the taste of sweet hot water. You can also prepare a large quantity and keep it in the fridge to save time.

What is success in life? You have undoubtedly asked yourself this question, but the answer is often unsatisfying, because you are probably not sure of the basis on which success is judged.

Since everyone rightly wants to be successful, it is logical to decide what is the normal and desirable attitude towards success, On the basis of experimental investigation, the following qualities are known to be necessary in attaining and enduring a feeling of success:

1. The successful person must be intellectually honest with himself and with others.
2. He must be inwardly stimulated to do his very best, and not compare the results he attains with the supposed results of others.
3. The truly successful person contributes to the welfare of others and is rewarded by the satisfaction of having helped others.
4. There is a great deal of success in the sense of being at peace with oneself and with others;to get along with people and to realize that everyone is human being and may be expected to display varying reactions to favorable and unfavorable situations.

There are some people who chronically make excuses for their lack of success and are never satisfied with their position in life, and tend to complain about the unfairness of others. They are the people who have a false value of success ;the desire to be superior. Such a desire destroys happiness. On the other hand , if the desire fo success comes from a wish to improve oneself and to be of some use to others, it can be very satisfying.
