Why do you wake up?

Back in 2005, I remember asking myself the question, "Why do I wake up?" I didn't come up with an answer right away. I came up with, "Well, I wake up for myself." As I let it brew in my mind, I also asked my two friends at work the same question. They both looked dumbfounded (this wasn't a question of what you do this weekend or where do you see yourself in 10 years) they gave the answer, "To go to work" or "To go to work so I can pay my bills". Those are not wrong answers at all! There cannot be one single answer for EVERYONE. We all have our own reasons. But it really made me think..."WHY DO I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING??" And I feel the real answer is not necessarily an answer to that question at all. If you wake-up to care for children or the sick-amazing! If you wake-up to stop global warming-high five! If you wake-up because you go to school-you're on your way! If you wake-up to figure out why you wake-up-that's a great reason, too! The point is you don't have to have an amazing or definite reason...just stop and ask yourself what are you doing? What motivates you? Do you have dreams you forgotten about? Are there things/people/activities missing in your life? Was there somewhere you always wanted to go? It's always good to have those moments to think and reevaluate yourself because it's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day that can easily turn into weeks, months, years...it happens to all of us! So take a moment and see where you're at and where you're headed. Remember don't live to wake-up, WAKE-UP TO LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
