Sometimes we get to choose what we do. But even when faced with an obligation that’s not our choice, we still get to choose how we do it.
It’s rare to experience all of these at once, but if you’re not:
Getting something worth doing done…
Changing someone or something for the better…
Learning, growing, or otherwise bettering yourself…
Making an impact that would make you missed if you stopped showing up…
Doing work you’re proud of…
Enjoying yourself…
Maybe it’s time to change things up?
When you reach that point, you might be able to pick a new commitment entirely. Or you can always change what you’re doing—and how you’re doing it—within that existing commitment.
If you’re feeling stuck, do something different, or do this thing differently.
