What keeps you going? What inspires you to wake up everyday? What makes you do the things that you do? What brings you to that state of satisfaction that you’re living your life? What is your battery that gives you energy to get going?
Hmmmmm… I often ask these questions to myself every time I wake up each morning. I always believe that there’s a reason why I’m still breathing and why did my eyes open after a long sleep. I always tell myself that it’ll be a nice day even though I know that it may not be. So now I wonder what keeps me going, why do I even go through life’s hassles? There must be something. Something great.
Maybe it’s the need to be successful. Yeah, I’ve always had the mindset of an achiever and I just can’t get enough. I need to do MORE and I need to achieve MORE. There’s really no line of satisfaction. It’s like after reaching the stars, you want to reach something higher, then higher, then higher.
Maybe it’s the feeling that someone needs me. It’s a great feeling and having this as my battery reminds me that my life is greater than myself. You live not just for yourself but for others as well. It’s always nice to hear these words and more so, it’s always nice to actually feel the depth of its meaning.
Maybe it’s because I need someone. Does it make sense? I think so. I live my day because I need someone… because I need to talk to that someone, because I need to walk with that someone, because I need to be with that someone.
Maybe it’s the need for adventure. Yeah I’m the adventurous type of person and I always like experiencing new things. There are so many great things within my grasp, all for the taking. As I have learned, life is an all-you-can-eat buffet. There’s enough adventure, happiness, satisfaction, and inspiration for everyone and you can get as many as you want.
Maybe it’s because I simply need to get going, to move forward, and to keep walking. No matter how much we feel that we don’t need to, I believe that there will always be a time when we’ll feel too tired and too bored to stay put, to stay deep below, to live a life we don’t desire. We’ll always have that ‘push’ that will get us back on the road. It may not come at an instant, but I believe that whatever happens it’ll always come.
We have different batteries that give us the energy to live our lives. It’s because we all have different personalities, different experiences, and different ways of coping up. But we should always acknowledge our batteries because they are very important in knowing why a day is worth living the best way possible.
What is your battery?
