Today I Get To

This poem was inspired by a good friend of mine, who likes to correct herself and others whenever they say ‘I have to…’. There are so many things in life that we feel we have to do. But everything we do is a privilege, because not everyone has the opportunity to do all the things we can do. So instead, why not bring some gratitude and appreciation to our mind by saying instead 'I get to...'

I appreciate you Tony 🙏🏼

I loved this and what an excellent way to look at life! I am going to try to live in an “I get to” state of mind from now on! Oh and as someone who also shares poetry on Insight Timer, I loved the words and rhyming of your poem! Definitely bookmarking!!! 🙂

That’s a great poem. I had heard the concept before but it was nice to hear it in practice.
Blessings to you and all on this journey.
Warmly,

Thanks for this beautiful poem reminding us that a simple perspective shift from I HAVE to to I GET to can make all the difference in how we’re feeling and experiencing our lives. Beautiful shift. Thank you!
