How many things do we have to do?
And not obligations like work or family, but ones we take on without taking a second to think, or maybe its sheer ignorance
The codependent person who can’t help but worry all the time about this or that
The gopher micromanager who berates employees and sweats every penny
The countless get-togethers that were too busy to attend but say yes anyway
It’s worth taking inventory of our obligations from time to time because they change
How many obligations are self-imposed?
How many of them do we HAVE to do?
Are we as free as we think?
