DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL REASON TO GET OUT OF BED EVERY MORNING ?
What is your very personal REASON to get out of your bed every morning ? Probably none ! You have never ventured on these lines before now. How a normal persons life goes full circle, with no chance of mid course correction.
DULL IN INTELLECT, LAZY IN BODY
As a small child you woke up with a huge enthusiasm every morning to learn more, to continue where you left yesterday, to advance into adulthood as fast as possible. What has changed with you, between childhood & middle age or retirement age. You seemed to be exhausted, spent of all your energy & zeal for life. Lazy in the mind & body too. Therefore no reason to wake up every morning. Well, very soon you will NOT WAKE UP AT ALL. It is a common law of Self fulfilling prophesy. You wish to die, it will happen, the universe is designed to fulfill all of your desires.

CHANGE OF PARADIGM ONLY
On the other hand the same law can help you live happier & longer, healthier & active, helpful & cooperative, wiser & humble.
It appears that you have decided to explore the latter part of the equation. Lets us discover it together.
Ask your self these four questions:
What you love ?
Delight
What are you good at ?
Being self
Being self
What the world needs ?
Excitement
What you can be paid for ?
What you can be paid for ?
Doing / Helping out
ARTISTS PAINTERS ACHIEVE GREATNESS AFTER DEATH
Let me elucidate a little more with examples. You love to sing, dance, or paint, but the material world does not need all this intangible stuff, which means you can not be paid enough for these Vocations / skills, although you may be very good at them. The net result is that you feel delighted & satisfied inside doing it, but it does not bring in wealth for comfortable living which envelopes you with strong feelings of USELESSNESS & UNWORTHINESS.
IMBALANCE BETWEEN HOBBY & PROFESSION
Let us take another case study to explain further. Your cousin is very good at computers & the world needs such a talent right now. The world is also willing to pay him very handsomely for his skills, but he does not love his Vocation & job, because he is deeply interested in playing professional chess sports. His job brings in wealth which makes living comfortable but he is enveloped with strong feelings of EMPTINESS & SOMETHING A MISS.
Try to balance all the four in your life.
MY FATHER WAS LUCKY IN THIS ASPECT
Only lucky few are fortunate enough to enjoy both sides of the coin simultaneously. My father happened to be the lucky one. He was a Medical doctor (GP) who loved what he did & was very good at it too. The world needed him most & was willing to pay him for his skills & services hands down. He lived to be 92, very healthy, calm, content, & worked till his last day on his patients. He had a solid REASON to get up every morning, & the Reason was SERVICE TOWARDS HUMANITY. To sum up my fathers hobby was same as his profession which brought him wealth, delight, fame, & satisfaction.

EDISON TOO WAS ONE OF THE FEW LUCKY
The most glaring example we have in the history is that of Thomas Elva Edison. He was a drop out & never studied beyond 6 th grade. He ended up working 20 hours every day continuously for 30 years without any vacation. There was no need for a vacation because his research was so very interesting, absorbing & motivating him, to do more & more. He successfully patented 3000 inventions in his fulfilling life time.
HE HAD A SOLID REASON TO GET UP EVERY MORNING.
I love him for his dedication & single minded approach to purposeful living. I share the same date of birth with him, with a time lapse of exactly hundred years - 11 Feb 1847
HAPPY BY DESIGN & ON PURPOSE
The Japanese people have evolved their own methodology of PURPOSEFUL LIVING, which makes them unique as a country of people with highest longevity in the world. It can be summed up in three meaningful words as follows :
IKIGAI = A reason to live / purpose in life / value in living.
ITTAIKAN = Sense of Oneness with a role, group or Creation.
JITSUGEN = Self realization, Who am I, a soul or body.
SPIRITUAL INCLINATION & DIVINE TUITION
I too have learnt from them & finalized upon a much bigger Reason to get up every morning out of my bed. It is my TRANSFORMATION from Body Consciousness to Soul Consciousness. My aim is to Die Alive to this degraded world, its attachments both materialistic & emotional, & emergence of souls ORIGINAL SEEDS after extinguishing all the acquired useless seeds picked up in this life & previous lives. This SELF TASK is so very intoxicating that I remain on the 9 th cloud most of the waking time. Of course I have Divine help all the time just for asking.
I hope you too can develop a good enough REASON to get out of your bed every morning.
