After a speech one day, Zig Ziglar, a famous motivational speaker, was approached by someone in the audience who said:
"Zig, it was a great speech, but...motivation doesn't last."
Zig said, "Bathing doesn't either. That's why I recommend it daily!"
Truly successful people know, that especially as we age, each day one has to be motivated.
Our sages of great memory understood this when they set up a system of three times a day in talking to G-d, the greatest of all motivation. Now in our system, we believe that G-d set up the system when he set up the world, but she/he delegated to figuring out how it works to man/woman under the principal that each successive generation would turn to the leaders of their day to learn about life's laws.
Since some principals appear to be timeless, they were set up not to change, just as for all of man's history where we age and die. If one day we were to discover how to cheat death for a longer period of time (say for a 1000 years like the pre Noah people of the bible), we would still have to get up each day and be motivated.
Don't stay in bed and hide from the world. Get up, Get out there, and love the world we are in.

Look at the miracles birth of an elephant below. There is a modern expression taken from television by young people that says when you are excited, "don't have a cow man." Well, a child of an elephant like a cow is also called a cow. And you can see having a cow, is no easy matter.
