You're Not Forced To Do Anything

by allinspiration.com

We're often heard complaining and grumbling about all the things in our lives that we are forced to do.

How about taking a different mental approach? Instead of thinking, "I have to go to work, because we need the cash", think instead, "I choose to go to work, because I love my family and want to provide for them". Strictly speaking, you do have a choice - you can quit your job and be a bum, while your family starves.

Instead of, "I have to clean the house", why not, "I choose to clean the house, so that we would have a clean home". Again, you can always leave your house dirty and untidy. Nobody is forcing you.

Push aside the I-have-to-do-this -because-someone-is pointing-a-gun-at-my-head mentality. Channeling positive thoughts into your responsibilities subconsciously convinces yourself that what you are doing is of some value, that it is meaningful.

In the process, you take joy and pride in what you are doing, and your life becomes happier and more fulfilling.
