What do you have to do today?

What chores, tasks, or work is waiting for you today?

What do you not look forward to doing today?

What if just for today, instead of complaining about or dreading the things you have to do, you consider yourself privileged?

What if you consider yourself lucky, that you get to do the work that’s waiting for you today?

A simple, well maybe not so simple, but definitely doable change of perspective can change the way you see your entire day. All of a sudden all the chores and tasks that lie ahead of you today can seem like opportunities. They begin to beckon you.

The reality is that almost everyone has days that consist of things they really don’t want to do, but have to, so you’re not alone. And complaining about or protesting rarely makes work disappear. Changing your perspective doesn’t make work disappear either, but it might make it more palatable and even, dare I say, enjoyable.

So much of life boils down to perspective and since you have the power to control yours, why not use it to your benefit?

So put a skip in your step today as you get to take out the trash or whistle while you wash the dishes. Add whatever flavor of good spirit you can to all the work you do today. And if you’re having a little trouble doing so then think about this. I can with almost 100% certainty tell you that there’s an uncountable number of people that would switch places with you, just to do, what you get to do.
