I came into see Brit one
day and she immediately knew something was going on. She asked what was wrong and I gave her
the answer we all give, “I just have a lot to do and no time to do it.”
She laughed and simply
said, “Everybody has things to do, everybody is busy. Well, except me, I just have to lay here.”
It was then we started
talking and she said your “have to” has to match your “want to”. I can’t say it as well as she did, but it is
basically this:
There are things you want
to do in life and things you don’t.
Those things you don’t are usually the things that you have to get
done. Take weeding for example. Everybody that has a garden or even just
flowers in a bed has to weed them. You
want to enjoy the vegetables or the pretty flowers, but you have to weed it for
that to happen. Nobody lets the ugly take over the pretty because you know what it's going to look like in the end. Same with life. There is no point in
dreading what has to be done, or you’ll never get to the part you wanted. Don’t dread Mondays, you need Mondays to help
you to get to Fridays. It has to happen,
it’s going to happen, so why dread it?
If you want some pity party about having to pay all these bills,
remember you wanted to have that cell phone so you need to pay that bill to use
it. It’s all just part of the process, get
your have to done so that your want to gets here quicker.
I think that was just her
little story, or way of saying Stop Bitching about it and just do it, but it
was a good way of doing it anyway. We
all have our want to and our have to, I guess we just need to make our have to
as important as our want to and it’ll all work out.
