W.I.N. Wednesday: You can, but you don’t have to.

You don’t have to comment on every social media post you read.

You don’t have to buy into other people’s definition of success.

You don’t have to play the blame game.

You don’t have to eat the whole bag of cookies just because you ate one or two.

You don’t have to keep reading that book if you are not enjoying it or finding value in it.

You don’t have to always try to solve the other person’s problem.

You don’t have to post selfies of every workout.

You don’t have to try and be an expert on every topic.

You don’t have to try to outdo other people’s stories.

You don’t have to post a selfie with the audience in the background from every presentation you do.

You don’t have to believe everything you read.

You don’t have to put others down to build yourself up.

You don’t have to hold on to resentment and anger.

You don’t have to be up on the latest on every new Netflix or Amazon Prime show. (It is ok to spend your spare time reading.)

You don’t have to be on every new social media just because “everyone else is”.

You don’t have to seek promotion because other people think you should.

You don’t have to jump on the latest fitness craze or fad diet.

You don’t have to force your kids to go to college or university so they can be “successful”. There are great opportunities in the trades and simply going out and getting a job and gaining experience in the working world.

You don’t have to work 80-hour weeks to prove you are dedicated to the job.

You don’t have to go for beers after work to prove you are a “team player”.  

You can, but you don’t have to.

What’s Important Now? Focus on what you can do, what you want to do, and what’s the right thing to do, not what other people think you should do.

Take care.
