Perspective

I often hear people complain that they have to go to work, that they have to fulfill their callings, have to deal with responsibilities, have to this, and have to that. I wonder what would happen if have to's were changed to get to's. Get to go to work, get to fulfill callings, get to deal with responsibilities, get to this, and get to that. Be more thankful. Be thankful that you have a job to go to. Be thankful that you have callings to fulfill. Be thankful that you have responsibilities. Be thankful for this and that. I think that having a thankful positive outlook of things rather than having a resentful negative outlook of things would help a lot.

  1. I think you have made a very good point, although some things it is hard to be thankful for like doctor appointments or hospital visits.

    1. I know. On the other side of that is although doctor appointments and hospital visits are unpleasant, it is thankful to have the ability to get stuff taken care of and problems aren't going untreated.
