This is a question I heard for the first time this morning in the audiobook called, “The Miracle Morning” by Hal Elrod.  I was listening during the last 20min of my 20/20/20 routine as a result of joining the 5am club. (I LOVE being in the 5am club, btw)

Why did I wake up this morning?  Why is this such an interesting question to me? I realize that the only reason I could possibly be here (and continue to be here everyday in this body) is to rise out of unconsciousness and mediocrity and apply whatever awareness I have access to, to create from a state of being that feels connected to Life.

Also, I realize I get to wake up this morning, so I’ve been expanding my priorities over the last couple of years to what I’d actually like to stay committed to.  I’ve shifted the way I approach life to be internally motivated instead of externally obligated.

What I’ve noticed about patterns of the mind, in hindsight, is that I definitely developed some valuable skills from childhood in terms of motivation, optimism, character and intention.  However, societal conditioning stifled the shiiiiiiiit out of what I had been able to manifest according to what I truly want and the worthiness connected to my deepest desires.

So initially, I wasn’t aware of how to become what I wanted to manifest. And because reality is a projection of where one is, I had to comb thru a bunch of beliefs that made my internal waters of manifestation quite murky. But after trying stuff on a whim and allowing my curiosity and some powers that Be to lead, the path began becoming a little clearer.

Certainly what I’ve previously mentioned in posts years ago as the “headlight syndrome” where we can only see a few feet in front of us (when driving at night), is true always, in a sense.

The only thing that a human can “control” around knowing what’s in store for their life is the understanding of mental/emotional self-regulation. And also the awareness that is essential to consciously respond to One’s own reality from the level of consciousness where they reside in the moment.  We are unable to manipulate the variables of manifestation in terms of how events come together, but we may certainly influence our relationship to what shows up in our reality and perhaps how long it remains engaged in our reality through repetition and subconscious beliefs.

So….I woke up today to….add to my growing list of promises to the self. One addition is finishing the 5 books and 1 prompt journal I started in the last two years. The second addition is repetitive writing on a specific topic, task or belief I want to embed within the forefront of my conscious mind.

Why did you wake up this morning? And how often do you consider your reason(s) for waking up?
