You can have more than one reason to get up. Family, a craft, a team, a dog. Nobody said pick one.
REFLECTION
WHAT THIS MEANS
Reasons to get up are not a single slot with one occupant. Pinning everything to one thing makes you fragile, because when that thing has a bad month nothing else is holding the floor up. Several reasons, including modest ones, keep the structure standing when one of them fails, which at some point one of them will.
List what actually gets you out of bed right now and be honest even when an item sounds small. If the list runs to one, add something this month. A club, an animal, a craft, a person you check on.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
What gets you out of bed besides the obvious one?
MORE IN MEANING & PERSPECTIVE
- Two people can do the same good thing for different reasons. Only one of them will keep doing it when nobody claps.
- The moments you’ll replay when you’re old are smaller than you think. A car ride. A late-night talk. A dumb inside joke.
- Sometimes you have to leave home for a while to see what it was actually giving you.
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
