---

You got the job you dreamed of all your life.
But you had a bad day and you lost all the interest you had in the job.
Everything you have to do feels like a burden.

Or

You must’ve started doing what you love, finally!
And a few days in and you realized that doing what you love is not always a happy honeymoon.

The things we have to do may feel like a burden sometimes.

Ever felt like this,  
I have to do this, and I have to do that, oh sh*t! It's a lot. I hate this.

Well, you can’t change what you have to do, but you can always change you’re perspective towards them and it will sure make things easier.

Here’s the trick: Reframe your “Have to’s“ into “Get to’s” :

Here’s some examples :

1. If you’re a blogger:

• Instead of saying, Oh! I have to write this blog post.
• Say, I get to write this blog post. I get to convey my thoughts to the world & find like-minded people.

2. If you’re a programmer:

• Instead of saying, Oh! I have to get this program done.
• Say, I get to do this program, improve my skill and also have solid pay by the end of the month.

3. If you’re an author or a wanna be :

• Instead of saying: Oh! I have to write this book.
• I get to write this book and let the world know the story or importance of x topic.

4. If you’re traveling :

• Instead of saying: Oh! I have to travel 1500 km (HYD to DHN)
• Say, I get to travel, see nature and wonderful landscapes, and experience more of life and culture.

5. If you’re learning a new skill:

• Instead of saying: Oh! I have to learn this skill x code
• Say, I get to learn the skill, at my own pace and comfort and achieve my dreams and goals.

6. If you’re a student :

• Instead of saying I have to go to classes.
• Say, I get to go to classes & graduate from a fantastic college & also be eligible for almost all the job profiles.

7. If you’re an employee:

• Instead of saying, Oh! It’s Monday and I have to work today.
• Say, It’s Monday and I get to work today. There are many unemployed people out there who would switch positions with me in a second.

8. If you’re trying a new Habit:

• Instead of saying, Oh! I have to wake up early.
• Say, I get to wake up early and enjoy the soothing breeze & use the extra time to do what I love.

9. If you’re a model :

• Instead of saying, Oh! I have to wear all the make up and change dress mulitple times.
• Say, I get to look like a princess at no cost of my own.

10. If you’re a doctor or nurse :

• Instead of saying, Oh! I have to go to the hospital and See the sick.
• Say, I get to help x serve people in need, the noblest profession, and also get paid for that.

11. If you’re an artist :

• Instead of saying, Oh! I have to draw or write a song.
