A Few Things to Consider

First, There is no “Have To;” everything is a choice.

Because something is hard or expected of you or not what you
feel like doing does not mean it is any less of a choice.
It is all choice.

“Having to” victimizes and overwhelms us.

“Choosing to” honors our integrity and strengthens us. This is true for
hard choices, painful choices, and obligatory choices.

Your choices are all yours. Be proud, be very proud.

Second, So you don’t want to be a burden to anyone.

Okay.

But what if the people who care about you hear
“I don’t need you.”

What if other people want to be needed by you?

Consider being proud and grateful instead of tentative and
apologetic to people who want to help.

And finally, A Gratitude Checklist

My life is whole and complete just as it is.

I am enough now.

I am blessed in all that I have been given.

I am released from all arrogance and sense of entitlement.

The spirit of gratitude is bold in its assumption. Gratitude will be my choice now, not my fear of having enough.

Is there anything you could have that would be more
meaningful than that for which you are already
grateful?

Worth Considering? I hope so.
