Meaning in my life

I have been recently struggling with finding a  reason for why I do things in my life. Everyday I wake up at 5:30 just to swim or finish my homework, both of which I would rather not do. For a while I thought that I was just doing this so that I could please my parents but now that I am actually thinking about it, I swim and do well in school because deep down, it makes me happy. I like to learn and I actually do like to swim. I think that everyone should do things that they enjoy doing and those things give your life meaning.
