Do You Have to Do It? ๐Ÿค”

Hi reader,

How many of our โ€œhave tosโ€ are actually โ€œwant tosโ€?

We have to engage with this person, but it is because we want to avoid conflict.

We have to stay the course, because we want to somehow make up for sunk costs.

We have to maintain a role weโ€™ve outgrown, because we want to hold on the clout from it.

We can be the warden in our own jails ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Daily News for Curious Minds

โ€œI stopped watching the news, so sick of the bias. Was searching for an alternative that would just tell me WHAT happened, with NO editorializing. I found it. Itโ€™s called 1440. It assumes you are smart enough to form your own opinions.โ€

This is what makes holiday seasons so ripe for conflict.

And growth.

They are rituals enmeshed with expectations, routines, and roles.

But what happens when our armor from childhood is too tight to fit?

Or our armor from boundary-less emotional labor becomes too heavy to lift?

Well, nothing.

Unless we decide to make short-term waves for long-term change.

And forgive ourselves for not knowing that we had options all along ๐Ÿš€

Ready to have a peaceful, affordable holiday season?

On BringYourWorth.tv Live, weโ€™re sharing smart ways to travel on a budget, how to deal with your frustrating loved ones, and the best route to having some peace and quiet during the hectic season.
