Ever find yourself resentful, or doing something from a feeling of obligation? If you recognize this pattern take the opportunity to check in with your feelings and what the underlying need is for you. When you shift from obligation to choosing its amazing the difference it makes.

If you are choosing to work 80 hours a week what is the need? Financial security, material things, to pay the mortgage... If you are choosing to care for a loved one what is your need? The need to serve, to enrich anothers life, to make a difference... Recognizing your need is the key to letting go of resentment and blame.
