Wake up, get up, and go!

.
For many that is sort of the routine in the morning. That routine may also include things like taking a shower, drinking a cup of tea or coffee, breakfast, make-up, shaving, etc. But what it boils down to is just that: ‘Wake up, get up, and go!’

Waking up to a brand new day, getting up ~ placing yourself in that new day, and going ~ bringing movement into that day.
It is what we do in order to make it in time to our appointments ~ whether that means appearing in time for your job, or meeting up with someone. It is what we were taught to do when we grew up. One shouldn’t sleep through the day ~ and if you do anyway, you’re lazy; you’re no good...
We have learned to feel guilty about breaking this basic routine of waking up, getting up, and moving on with our day.

And while it seems to be a prerequisite to make it a productive day, it also allows for new observations, new discoveries, new adventures...
As long as we are wrapped up in our day-to-day lives, we may not be focused on the new things this day may bring us ~ yet in order to bring new things into our lives, we would first have to wake up, get up, and yes, go step into the world!

Looking at it from a more spiritual perspective a deeper meaning is added.

Waking up to a brand new day, spiritually, means that we are leaving the darkness of the night behind us. In that darkness we were unable to see clearly where we were standing, where we were going. Waking up from that darkness and into the light of day allows us to see all those things we could not see before.
Getting up then, would place us on our path. It lets us take our individual place in the world ~ or even the universe.
Going, again from the spiritual perspective, would point us to bring out and develop our unique potential. It would direct us to do the things that not only might make our lives easier, more fulfilling ~ but that also can bring more joy into our lives.

It is that one morning when you wake up and suddenly know exactly what you are going to do with the rest of your life ~ that the spiritual awakening and the physical ‘waking up’ have come together. It is that one point in time where the spiritual ‘knowing’ and the physical ‘doing’ merge into a new vision on life ~ when you can clearly see your path and your passion...
