What you "have to" do

There's a phrase that shows up often:

"I have to."

I have to work.

I have to stay here.

I have to wait.

I have to be realistic.

Sometimes it's true.

Sometimes it's a habit.

Before you accept it as fact, pause and ask:

Is this absolutely true?

Or is it something I've repeated long enough that it feels true?

I recorded something recently about what we value, and what might actually be holding us in place.

I'll share it tomorrow.
