The Only Thing You Have to Do

The only thing you have to do is die. That's the one choice no one has: whether or not to die.

You don't have to do homework. You don't have to wash the dishes. You don't have to go to the dentist.

These things can be choices if you want them to be.

I choose to do my homework. I choose to wash the dishes. I choose to go to the dentist.

There are things in life we would rather not have to deal with. An easy way to make these experiences more pleasant is to change our attitude toward them.

Musts, shoulds, and have to's make life feel heavy. Instead, try I choose to be here, I choose to be here, I choose to be here.

When you show up as if it's a choice, all of life feels lighter.
