NEXT RIGHT THING

"The way out is through."
~Nine Inch Nails~
 
Certain things in life that we have to do, as part of our job, or part of our family, or just because, can be annoying. And we would rather not do them. But in spite of our lack of enthusiasm, they still need to be done, and sometimes we are just the person for the job.
     When this is the case, rather than feeling irritated or victimized, we can use our initial annoyance as an opportunity. We can observe our resistance and our distaste, but make the decision to not let whatever it is ruin our day or our peace of mind. We can simply do our best, look for the positive if there is any, and know that when it's over, we can say, with a sense of assurance, that at least we showed up and did our part.
 
Life is full of things we'd rather not do, but if we have to do them, let's do them with the best attitude possible.
