Why Be Weighed Down by Have To????

Hi
Did you leap out of bed this morning and jump around your room at the possibilities that lay before you, or the excitement of the day ahead?

Is that a big fat NO? Well, I suppose not everyone can be the same. Though even waking up today has been a bonus that many have not had and as we have no guarantees that we will have a tomorrow; so why not make the most of today and everyday?

Being an entrepreneur makes being self motivated a base requirement, but it does not matter where you are or what job you are in there are some very easy ways to make things seem a lot better, or a lot easier to deal with. I was lucky enough to be taught this lesson very early on and it still keeps me in focus today.

Get a piece of paper and a pen, go on I mean it, it is well worth the effort. Then I want you to write down a list of all the things you think you HAVE TO do today. Don't skimp on it....

I have to get up, wash, have breakfast, feed the kids, do the washing, wash the car.....

I know your list, like mine seems endless, here is the big BUT, now I want you to go back through your list and really think if you HAVE TO do the thing or if you actually CHOOSE to do it?

Get up, nope you could have stayed in bed,
Wash, nope there are plenty of stinky people out there!
Have breakfast, nope go hungry....you don't want to, see it is a choice
Feed the kids, nope they would create a lot, or get something for themselves
Do the washing, nope plenty of laundry services out there, that would cost more money, true so you choose to do it to save money
Wash the car, nope it will only get dirty again, or there are car wash places, you have a choice!!

Do you see what I am getting at now?
There should only be three things on your list, to be born (once you are conceived you have to be born), to die (some even choose when that will be), and take up space if you are into quantomphysics.
EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE IS A CHOICE

Once you see this and believe it, you take so much pressure off of yourself. When we feel that we are pushed into doing something, we resist (teenager and cleaning their bedroom!) we are no different.

So, screw your list up and throw it away, think about all the things you want to, choose to, like to, love to do and your day gets a lot easier and happier.

That idea of leaping out of bed and jumping about with excitement does not seem so far off now does it???
