How to Be Thankful For Life by Changing Just One Word

Tomorrow I start working Again..... I genuinely don't want too. Actually starting to get down. I also have to work the weekend and the public holiday on Monday. I just have to focus on surviving the weekend. Next weekend is also a long weekend and I am off. Just need To get through this weekend. But in the long run, I need To find something else to make me happy. My work hasn't done it For a while. But what else can I do? I keep thinking of Diary of a Fit Mommies Sia Cooper. She was a nurse and became self employed and is doing a damn good job of it. I want that. But how? Need inspiration. 

I just read something now that got me thinking..... 

How to Be Thankful For Life by Changing Just One Word

My college strength and conditioning coach, Mark Watts, taught me an important lesson that applies to life outside of the gym…

As adults, we spend a lot of time talking about all of the things that we have to do.

You have to wake up early for work. You have to make another sales call for your business. You have to work out today. You have to write an article. You have to make dinner for your family. You have to go to your son’s game. 

Now, imagine changing just one word in the sentences above.

You don’t “have” to. You “get” to.

You get to wake up early for work. You get to make another sales call for your business. You get to work out today. You get to write an article. You get to make dinner for your family. You get to go to your son’s game.

I think it’s important to remind yourself that the things you do each day are not burdens, they are opportunities. So often, the things we view as work are actually the reward.

This had a big effect on me now......
