Because we think we <i>should</i>, and I've found it detrimental to think in 'shoulds.'<br /><br />I believe that if we stop doing things to impress or please other people, we will eventually figure out how to enjoy our days more and be productive because we really feel like it rather than trying to fulfill someone's expectations (even our own). We learn to give service from the heart, instead of giving because we know we're supposed to.<br /><br />But first we have to let go...learn to enjoy things, simple things, 'non-productive' things.<br /><br />Good luck. :)Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00110779167509779880noreply@blogger.com
