Get up HEROICALLY!!

By: Kristyastoko (Jogja)

Most people (including myself actually) have problem of getting up and getting up HEROICALLY. What is that supposed to mean? Getting our eyes open in the morning is easy, but to get ourselves up and really stand up, that’s the most challenging one! Life has taught us that ‘momentum’ is precious, but since we’re not a dead thing (or dead matter – ‘cos we’re a living being) momentum alone is never enough. We all need a strong will and determination in the morning, probably some of us will get up from the bed and kneel down, say grace and thanksgiving to Our Lord for peaceful and resting sleep, but mostly what we need is the combination of strong will, clear determination and love plus joy in doing so, and that’s only the addition to the momentum. We may not be able to control the momentum, but we could anticipate the unexpected!
