Life carries many opportunities to have either a positive or negative perspective. Some of these opportunities arise from choices we’ve made whereas others come from circumstances out of our control.
For example, becoming a parent brings with it so many life adjustments. It can be so easy to slip into, “I have to go feed him now.” Those moments can somehow feel like an inconvenience.
How different do those things feel when the reaction is, “I get to do this” instead? Your entire perspective and mental process shifts over.
Today, I get to feed my son because I am able to breastfeed. Today, I get to exercise because I have a body that is capable of doing so. Today, I get to go to work because I have a job.
Get to over have to.
So simple, yet so profound.
Whatever your opportunities are what kind of perspective are you taking? Are there any places you could shift things for the better?
