HAVE TO GET TO.

By TrishBlackwell on August 17, 2011 in Blog, Meaning, Movement

What would happen to your life if you changed every “have to” to “get to“? What would happen to you —- physically, emotionally, and professionally?

I woke up with this question on my mind as I pulled myself out of bed at 6:00am for my obligatory morning run.  I have to get up, I thought to myself, I have to run.  I then pressed my snooze button for an hour, because nobody wants to do what they have to do.

After I started jogging at 7am, I smiled.  I love running.  I especially love running in the crisp morning air.  Running is a blessing, it is a gift, it is an honor.  I get to run. I get to run in a safe, beautiful neighborhood where everyone waves good morning to me.

Everyday, I get to exercise.  I get to go to work.  I get to learn through bad days, and I get to rejoice in good days.  Because I am blessed, I get the opportunity to go to the doctor when needed, grocery store whenever I want, and I get to pay my bills on time.

Change every have to into a get to and your life will turn around in ways you never dreamed possible, for we are exceedingly blessed beyond our knowledge.
