That One Thing
![]() |
All of us have that one thing from time to time that we just don’t want to do. It feels like an albatross around our neck. It is heavy, awkward, and we don’t want to deal with it. We carry it through everything else we do, and it steals the joy from things we love. Carrying it wastes the day.
Here is the secret: Grab the chicken scissors and cut the string! Go ahead and do that thing that you find dreadfully boring, scary, messy, or otherwise undesirable. You will feel lighter and more confident. Everything else will seem easier and more enjoyable knowing that you’re not doing it to avoid that one thing. The sense of relief when you realize that you don’t have to carry it around anymore will be worth it. Now, close your browser, grab the chicken scissors, and go live today on purpose. |
