No, you really DON'T "have to"


Stop it.

Beloved Reader,

You really, truly do not HAVE to do anything.

You CHOOSE to do everything you do.

Let that sink in for a moment.

You don't have to do that report. You don't have to go to the family gathering. You don't have to eat vegetables or exercise. You don't even have to pay taxes!

But you do always get to deal with the consequences of your choices. If you want a healthy body and longevity, veggies and exercise are necessary. If you want to stay out of jail, taxes are required.

The point is, you are CHOOSING to take actions that give you outcomes you want. So, stop wallowing in obligation and give yourself credit for doing unpleasant things that are actually worth celebrating!

Do I enjoy paying taxes? Not particularly. But I do love waking up in my own comfortable bed instead of a jail cell every day, and I rather enjoy a road trip on a well-maintained interstate. 😉

Make the proactive switch from victim-of-the-obligation to creator-of-the-outcome. What is one reframe you will embrace today?

Hit reply and let me know. I'd love to root you on!

Keep growing,
Jamie 🪴💚
