Writer’s block. No ideas. Tired. Frustrated.
Give me a second, and I could come up with an excuse not to write today.
On these days, it’s easy to think I “have to” write something.
And my immediate antidote is: I don’t “have to”, I “get to”.
That subtle shift brings a wealth of energy, focus, and effort. It’s a privilege to turn up every day, and practise, share, and chat with you all.
So what if we took this idea and used it elsewhere in our lives?
We don’t have to eat healthily, we get to.
We don’t have to turn up to work, we get to.
We don’t have to take care of our family and kids when they’re unwell, we get to.
We don’t have to do anything, but with each new day, we get an opportunity to do something.
