Is it a Want To or a Have To?

“It’s so hard when you have to,

and so easy when I want to.”

Sondra Anice Barnes, author

 

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Is it a want to or have to?

 

When you want to do something . . . . your efforts seem to become effortless. You become eager to get your day started . . . . and you’re excited about your possibilities.

 

Your time seems to fly by . . . . and you’re enjoying what you’re doing.

 

When you hit an obstacle . . . . you will keep pushing forward because you want to . . . . not because you have to.

 

When you have to do something it can look overwhelming and like a mountain . . . . that you don’t want to climb. You’ll be able to find more reasons on why procrastination is the best choice for you.

 

If and when you start to climb the mountain every minute seems like a life time and your looking for a reason to call it a day and quit.

 

The difference between wanting to do something . . . . and having to do it; becomes the difference between success and failure. When you want to do something . . . . you have a purpose and enjoy what you’re doing.

 

When you want to do something you will take a giant step towards your future success.

 

Turn your have to into a want to and you will fire your enthusiasm to achieve your want to.   

 

Is it a want or a have to? Is in your attitude and when the attitude is right . . . . you will enjoy what you want to do.

Lou,

I could not agree more, when you "have to" do something, it is like a chore but when you want to do it, it feels effortless.

Hello Lou,

A task or challenge is always easier when it is something we want to do - no doubt about it.  However, that same task or challenge is more rewarding when it is something we have to "fight through"!
