What everybody wants
From “13 Conversations about 1 thing”:
1st Character: What is it that you want?
2nd Character: What everyone wants, to experience life, to wake up enthused, to be happy.

Ah, yes. The mind certainly has a propensity to grasp, doesn't it? We think if we just get the right person or the right job, or this occurs, or that happens, then everything will be okay.
Wrong planet.
Perhaps another way of looking at it is that enthusiasm itself is the goal. I know the character was reaching, but I think this is his intent, to say he wishes to wake with vibrancy each morning, no matter what the cause. Would you say that waking energized with regularity is not possible?

Wellllllllllllll, I would say staying regular is very important. And regularly waking up is critical. As for gbeing energized, I think I need to change my batteries some days.
I get up so early it's hard to feel energized. Although I do feel better after the morning meditation...
May your day be one of unexpeced beauty.
If I wake with a few ounces of excitement about anything at least two mornings a week, that is a very good phase of life, something for me to strive for.
Truthfully, I have only known one person who genuinely seems to wake up enlivened each and every morning. And I must admit I that when he stayed with us for a while, I found his full blown chipper "good mornings" annoying and creepy but I had to say that I was happy for the guy. He was fortunate to be so. He was a brilliant fellow who seemed to keep himself going with optimism, meditation and several projects that fulfilled him. He wasn't dopey or empty headed either, was able to deal with adversity, conflict and darkness even though he kept himself on a high rev. I don't know if he's "happy," but I would say he's fortunate to have momentum and to be invested in his life. I know two many others who can't get out of the bed at all some mornings.
May your day be infused with radiance and contentment and maybe a weiner dog or two.
