Ep. #361 - Reflection: From “Have To” to “Get To”

In this Reflection on The Journey, I share a lesson that started for me when I was a teenager preparing for a bodybuilding competition. During a difficult stretch of dieting and training, I began to realize how much the words we use can shape the way we experience what we are going through. Over time, “Today’s better than yesterday” became a phrase that helped me shift my perspective. More recently, I have been practicing another simple reframe: changing “I have to” into “I get to.” In this episode, I reflect on how small changes in the way we talk to ourselves can begin to change our attitude, our perspective, and the way we approach the difficult things we know we need to do.
