Don't Hit The Snooze Button Of Life

Do you bolt out of bed when your alarm sounds, or do you hit the snooze button seventeen times before you crawl out of bed in a sleep-induced haze?

What about your life, your path? Are you in snooze mode, fending off your destiny for just another five minutes (five months, five years)? If you’re a dozer, I’ve got a message for you: The universe is trying to wake you up.

Sleeping and trying to smash the alarm clock

Are you listening? Have you responded to your calling, or did you sleep right through your alarm? Are you ignoring that telltale beep, beep, beep?

If you choose to abuse the snooze here’s what’s in store for you:

Nature Sounds – At first, the universe will try to wake you up with gentle, soothing sounds. You’ll get that first, exiting flash of inspiration about your purpose in life. The road will rise up to meet you and everywhere you turn it will feel as though the universe is sending you a message to follow your calling. But if you hit the snooze. . .

Bells – Next you’ll be woken up by the sound of bells, a pleasant sound, yet a whole lot louder than those crashing waves and chirping birds. This is the universe reminding you that you have an appointment to manifest your destiny, and since you missed your last one, you better get up. But if you don’t get out of bed. . .

Car Horns – Your next alarm is pure noise. The universe is trying to annoy you now with obnoxious, 5:00 a.m. car horns, just so you know that your calling cannot be ignored. You may feel like nothing is going your way during this phase, because it isn’t. Until you get up and walk your true path, life will be pretty darn frustrating. And if you STILL don’t wake up…

Bucket of Water – Splash! Freezing cold water ought to do it. The universe is serious now, man. This isn’t just a wake up call, it’s a warning. You were put on this earth for a reason, and the longer you ignore your calling, the more maddening the alarms will be. If you’re totally dense and refuse to wake the f*ck up. . .

Earthquake – It’s shake, rattle, and roll, baby. The universe is pulling out all the stops now, no holds barred, doing whatever it takes to wake you up and get you to climb out of bed and meet your destiny. Things could get ugly. Really ugly. Unless. . .

You wake up.

If you don’t respond to your calling, the universe will up the ante until you do. If you keep “sleeping” through life, the universe will shake you up until you finally tune in and give in to your destiny.

We all have our own reasons for hitting the snooze button, but in the end, you still have to walk down the same path in order to be truly fulfilled. Why not just wake up now and get a head start?
