956903 -- Rise And Shine It's comforting to think that even two thousand years ago the emperor of Rome (who was reportedly a bit of an insomniac) was giving himself a pep talk in order to summon up the willpower to throw the blankets off each morning and get out of bed. From the time we're sent off to school until we retire, we're faced with that same struggle. It'd be nicer to shut our eyes and hit that snooze button a few more times. But we can't. Because we have a job to do. Not only do we have our calling that we have dedicated ourselves to, but we have a larger cause that the Stoics speak about: the greater good. We cannot be our service to ourselves, to other people, or to the world unless we get up and get working--the earlier the better. "On those mornings you struggle with getting up, keep this thought in mind--I am awakening to the work of a human being. Why then am I annoyed that I am going to do what I am made for, the very things for which I put into this world? Or was I made for this, to snuggle under the covers and keep warm? It's so pleasurable. Where you then made for pleasure? In short, to be coddled or to exert yourself?" -- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.1 #203tds
