Me personally? I don't "need" to be moral, I choose to be moral, because I believe it leads to being more happy, and having a better life. Why is being moral linked to my happiness? Because of the interactions and relationships I have with other people I know, and don't know...they flourish under higher morals, this is my personal belief. Who ever said I had to be morally good? I've had my parents tell me this, as well as church elders of the many churches I've attended, as well as college professors. Why did I believe them? Because eventually I reached the same conclusion on my own.
