Hooray! I Get to go to Work Today!

How many times to do you wake up in the morning and say, “Hooray! I get to go to work today!”  How many more times do we find ourselves saying, “I have to go to work today.”

This week, as we lead up to our annual celebration of Thanksgiving here in the US, I suggest you change that one word, from “have” to “get.”  Try it. Do it consciously every day for 2 weeks. I guarantee you will be amazed at the results.

Don’t just say it to yourself. Tell someone else first thing in the morning.  “I get to go to work today!” Say it with enthusiasm. If you live by yourself, make a habit of calling someone on your way to work. Text them (not while driving, of course!). Post it on social media. Really get into it.

When we can truly change our attitude from thinking we have to do something, to rejoicing in fact that we get to do it, our whole outlook and angle of approach changes – for the better.

Today, I get to go to work.  Hooray!
