TO KNOW "HOW" YOU NEED TO KNOW "WHY"

If you want to know how, then you have to find why.

If you admire or notice people around you, who wake up everyday so quickly sometimes withou rooster, you get amazed. Further, it's more sadness than amusement if you are not able to wake up so early.
I used to think that it's the work of will power that drives such people to wake up or they might have achieved this feat by practicing for years and making it a habit 
Well, it's both. Because it's the willpower that makes you do anything even when you don't like the work. And if you do it regularly over and over again it becomes a habit.
Now if you're wondering, why you don't have that willpower, then you have to understand that you were getting it wrong all the time. Actually, you have tremendous will power, everone has it, it's just that your will power of not waking up is overcoming the will power of waking up. The crux of what I mean is will power is not only  required for good things,it's also associated with bad things. Will power doesn't differentiate between postive and negative tasks. And therefore you have the problem of not waking up which by unintentional practicing, on regular basis is now converted into a bad habit of not waking up early.
This is the process of every bad or good habit formation. Depending on your intensity of willpower of either good or bad things,your good or bad habits are developed.

Now, we got the problem but what's the solution you must be thinking...
The solution is to intensify the willpower for things which you want to...like will power to wake up early. To know HOW to, you have to know WHY to, i.e. why to wake up early in the morning.
If you have a good reason, that won't let your ass on bed then, your willpower keeps on intensifying and eventually become a habit. Before sleeping think hard about why you need to wake up early, is it because you want to achieve your goal and you need to put in more hours or if you have to do something which is best if done early in the morning, and after knowing your why repeat everyday this reason before sleeping. And viola! You will have a great good habit.
It's not Just with waking early in morning,it's for every habit you want to build or eradicate. It's just the game of will power.
There could be many small reasons for "why not" but you just need to find that one reason for "why" you should be doing it.

So to find out "how" you need "why"
