Choose

At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed,
tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being.
What do I have to complain of,
if I’m going to do what I was born for —
the things I was brought into the world to do?
Or is this what I was created for?
To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?                         

                Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
