Japanese; the four-circle teaching
You want a reason to get up. The problem is you have a job, or a passion, or a cause — one circle, not four. What you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, what you can be paid for. Live in one circle and you will be busy or broke or both. Stand in the overlap and the days have a why.
