Reality Over Dreams
There are days that I wake up thinking ‘I have a lot of things to take care of today. I should get a head start.’
And so I wake up, forcing myself out of the half-sleep/half-awake state that I stumble through in the morning.
‘There is work to be done.’
‘There are chores to do.’
‘There are bills to pay’
‘I have a lot of things to do.’
‘Today is an event.’
‘Today is a holiday.’
‘Today I am traveling.’
‘Today I have plans.’
There are a number of things that I think about in the morning and a portion of them make me want to get out of bed.
At some point, I begin to plan out my day, and I get excited about how I can make the day happen.
My plans rely on me waking up and it jolts me to start my day.
I wake up with ambition to get everything done.
Sleep alone is not enough to fully charge me, but the idea of having an accomplished day and taking charge and action drive me out of bed.
There’s a lot to do and only so much time to do it in.
I must wake up or I will not be able to get to everything.
Accomplishments wait for no person.
