The most important moments of your morning

It's 5 AM, and you hear your alarm going off -- what do you do?  

Do you hit the snooze button a few times or begin your morning routine?

Why is this important? 

Well, having a solid morning routine can set you up for a wildly productive day -- and not having one can set you back.

Have you heard the inspiring story of Navy Fighter Pilot Captain Jack Sands?


As a soldier in the Vietnam War, Captain Sands fought, was shot down, and imprisoned as a POW in the dreaded prison of Hanoi. There, he was confined to isolation and placed in a five-foot by five-foot prison cell -- never knowing if he'd be able to see his family, friends, or even the light of day again.


To say he was in some pretty awful circumstances would be a gross understatement.
