If you’re dragging your sorry self to work, feeling like you’re heading off to another day on the chain gang, you might want to try these perspective-switching ideas on for size.
Secret #2
The Reason You’re Working… Is Not What You Think
Let’s face it. You have to work – right? You have bills to pay, kids to raise, a future to provide for… you just don’t have a choice.
Maybe so… and Maybe NOT.
If you are telling yourself that you have to work, ask yourself if that’s the best way to think about it. If you’re like most of us, that idea acts like a stick on the rump of a donkey. It drives us out of bed, we reluctantly plod to our car and force ourselves to get to work.

It would be better to think that we are blessed to have a job. If work was like a carrot and we raced forward to our desks, excited to be there, that would be great. The problem is we don’t believe it. Yeah, we’re grateful but kinda not. Our brains tell us we’re lucky to have our careers, but we’re still dragging ourselves out of bed and prayin’ for relief.
Knock it off.
You don’t HAVE to work. You can just stop. Any day.
Sure, if you stop working, you won’t have a paycheck. But you don’t have to get a paycheck. There’s a lot of people out there that don’t have one.
“Yeah,” you say, “but they’re living in a tent.”
And so could you.
“I don’t wanna live in a tent,” you say. “I want to live in my house.”
Oh. You want to live in your house. And working is how you accomplish that? Then you want to work.
Get it? There are thousands of people who don’t pay their bills. You’re not one of them. There are thousands of people who don’t send their kids to college and who don’t save for retirement. You’re not one of them. You are choosing to work.
And when you believe that you’re doing all this because you choose to?
Seriously. That changes everything.
