The Daily What If: From Obligation to Opportunity
There’s a big difference between have to and get to.
You don’t have to go to work — you get to do work that supports your life.
You don’t have to exercise — you get to move a body that still can.
You don’t have to drive your kids somewhere — you get to spend time with them, and one day you won’t.
That small shift completely changes your perspective. I use it every day.
What feels like an obligation can become an opportunity. Frustration or annoyance can turn into gratitude.
What if today you focused on what you get to do, not what you have to do?
