A better story than nihilism

Just wondering what people believe to be the counter to nihilism. That is to say, how does one combat a lack of meaning or purpose in the modern world? Why should one seek to awake in the morning? Appreciate any response, and feel free to offer any religious or psychological takes here as well. No need to limit this question to the realm of philosophy only. (edited)

Why would you want to counter nihilism? You make your own meaning and purpose. I get up because there are new things to learn and experience every day which makes life interesting even if it has no meaning.

Absurdism I think is the other face to nihilism on the coin of existentialism. While both are similar I think they both come to different conclusions.
