For those of us whose lives aren't perfect, what gets you out of bed and through the day? What keeps you going, that even on the bad days, you've got something to look forward to?

Faith that there's something better. And copious amounts of caffeine.

Well my life is not bad. My alarm gets me up, or my cat wanting to be let out. I would say on a bad day my dog keeps me going. Every day I look forward to the evening when I finally get to what I want.

Well, I enjoy wasting time on online forums like this one... It sure is enjoyable to me, and it helps the time fly.
But that's not really the reason I get out of bed of course.
I'd say that I get out of bed to try to survive, just cause I can't help it.
P.S. usually the first thing I think of before I go to sleep is waking up the next day... so, I think it's pretty much a given that I'm assuming to wake up the next day...

I am a particularly lazy person that only gets out of bed because I have to go to school. I sleep so heavy and don't want to wake up that I have to set my alarm and my cell phone to go off so I don't oversleep. I get up every morning and feed my cats and make coffee, and follow my usual routine. I really just get up because I have an obligation, and my parents would get really angry and lecture me if I missed the bus. Also, sometimes if I get done early I get to sit at the table in our kitchen, sip my coffee, and watch the sun start to rise before I go out to the bus stop.
Mostly though, I really have to set my alarm to really wake up at a decent time. If i don't set my alarm and tell myself that I have a lot of things to do on the weekend, I could wake up, look at the clock, and see that's it's already like, noon or one. I guess life motivates me. And coffee. Can't forget coffee.

#1 I get up because I know what it would do to my family if I just pulled the covers over my head and gave up.
#2. I've come to realize that things can change so fast. You never know what might happen in a minute, be it good or bad.
#3. Things always seem to get better no matter how bad they might be now.

Knowing that someone will be there to comfort, love, care, and be there for me. The master upstairs is the only one that keeps me on the go. I have to live life to the fullest enev when times are bad. What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger and better prepared for the long run.

Fighting Cancer for 18 years, I can't wait to get out of bed. Even a bad day is a good day when you wake up and find you're still alive.!

honestly..sometimes I just want to sleep through the day..so sometimes I try to get a little more rest..but I cant my body gets me up...it's almost as if its stronger than me..then my mind says you gotta do this ..and get ready for that..but on those extra long trudgy days..I just sleep a few minutes longer to trick my body into thinking hey I feel refreshed..blah ..blah..I can bring my lap top to bed with me..thats makes it easier...for me to do something good with my self is a way of feeling accomplished..

What's with all these people saying Boyfriend/Girlfriend?
You only get one trip on this crazy ride called life, even when times are hard you get up because life is worth living.
