We GET To…

I probably should have posted this yesterday, but time got away from me…this simple change can change your whole perspective on life. In the hustle and bustle of schedules and meetings and this and that, sometimes it’s hard to remember that we DO GET TO…change your “have to’s” to “get to’s” and see how things change for the better! Work Hard, Eat Clean, Be Blessed! 🙂

And by the way, CFU held it’s first WOD four years ago tomorrow…Thank you to EVERYONE who has been part of this journey during that time! You. Are. Awesome!!

 

How to Be Thankful For Your Life by Changing Just One Word
by James Clear

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States. Each year on this day, I share a simple lesson that my college strength and conditioning coach, Mark Watts, taught me about being thankful for the lives we live. It applies to life outside of the gym as well as inside it.

How to Be Thankful

As adults, we spend a lot of time talking about all of the things that we have to do.

You have to wake up early for work. You have to make another sales call for your business. You have to work out today. You have to write an article. You have to make dinner for your family. You have to go to your son’s game.

Now, imagine changing just one word in the sentences above.

You don’t “have” to. You “get” to.

You get to wake up early for work. You get to make another sales call for your business. You get to work out today. You get to write an article. You get to make dinner for your family. You get to go to your son’s game.

I think it’s important to remind yourself that the things you do each day are not burdens, they are opportunities. So often, the things we view as work are actually the reward.

Embrace your constraints. Fall in love with boredom. Do the work.

You don’t have to. You get to.
