You Don't Have To Do It ForeverWritten by Heather J. Tait
Everyone has to do things they don’t want to do from time to time, if not every day. For some going to work or dealing with certain people can be situations that you don’t find pleasurable, but yet you have to encounter situation on a daily basis. Maybe you have a co-worker that you disagree with or a relative you have differences with. Whatever situation may be, due to circumstances beyond your control, you have to encounter them.

Once we discover our purpose we then have to make a commitment to pursue that purpose. Often we discover that our lifestyles will be altered once that commitment is made. Perhaps we have to live with less. We are then challenged to redefine our basic needs verses wants. Some people never assess their primary needs. They continue to pursue their “wants”. If people really assessed their primary needs and concerns they may realize that putting in that overtime at work wasn’t really necessary. They could have put in some overtime with their family or loved ones instead. Or they could have put some overtime in on doing something they really loved to do. Material items do not replace time. Sometimes we have to do without basic utilities, fancy clothing, and even vehicles. If we stop to recognize what we really need, we realize how insignificant material items truly are. In fact we may even learn that our focus on ourselves reaches a higher level of concentration when we do not have added extremities to concern ourselves with.
