I HAVE TO …
I have to do Everything! If they won’t do it then I will have to. Do these phrases sound familiar? I meet people all the time that seem to have a hard time knowing what is their responsibility and what is another’s. This type of thinking can cause great stress and foster resentment, yet many of us continue to fall into this trap.
Are you controlled by others and what they do or don’t do? Don’t you have a CHOICE? When we say I HAVE TO… what we really should be saying is that I CHOOSE TO…. You have a Choice. We may choose to do something that is really someone else’s responsibility because we need to get it done, like pay the bills. It is still our choice. We could choose not to pay the bills, or force the other person to do their job, or hire someone else to do the job. WE HAVE CHOICES. When you realize you always have a choice, it allows you to see that life is not out of control but still under your control. If you need help breaking this kind of thinking, call me. Make good CHOICES! <>< Mark
