Last weekend I spent a couple of days with about forty men in Texas for an “Iron Sharpens Iron” mastermind meetup. One of the guys, Bret Barnhart, offered some great insight when he spoke about looking at “getting” to do things versus “having” to do things. With credit to Mr. Barnhart, this week’s topic is “get”…
More than a few folks wake up Monday morning and shudder at the thought of having to go to work. Many of these same folks make themselves equally miserable as they offer self-talk on having to cut the grass, having to go the in-laws, or having to go to church.
It’s a shame that these folks do not take a step back, count their blessings, and consider all that they get to do in life.
We are blessed to live in a time where our lives are easier than they have ever been throughout history. Technology has made it such that we have a higher quality of life, more time, and longer life expectancies than ever before. And too many folks are thinking about all that they “have” to do.
I’ll spare you the death and taxes speech, but the reality is we have a huge number of choices in our lives. We need focus on those activities that are aligned with our purpose in life. When we align in this manner, we look at “getting” to do things versus “having” to do things. Put another way, if we’re feeling that we “have” to do things, we might want to consider if our lives are aligned properly.
With that in mind, the question for you this week is:
- What do you get to do this week?
Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with me this Monday morning and I wish you all the best for the week.
