What lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do. Aristotle

You don’t have to do anything. 
People are constantly saying,
 “I have to do this or I have to that,” but the reality is that nobody has to do anything. 

You choose to do everything that you do. Now you may be thinking, that is not true, I have to go to work or I have to pay my bills, but you really don’t have to do either of these. 
The simple fact of the matter is that you don’t have to do anything; you choose to do these things.

It’s true; you don’t have to go to work. 


Work is something that you choose to do either because you like having money or because you find it rewarding, but either way you make the choice to get up and go to your job each day. 

Nobody is forcing you to go to work. No one is forcing you to pay your bills. You choose to pay them in order to keep living the lifestyle that you have decided to live.

Likewise, nobody forces you to get angry or to lose your temper. 


Again, you choose to get angry or to lose your temper, and just as you choose to allow these things, you can also choose not to allow them. 
What lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do. You choose each and every one of your actions – all of them. 
There are no exceptions. 

The choice is 100% yours. 
You don’t have to do anything. 

This is precisely why we are each responsible for all of our actions; we choose them therefore we are responsible for them. 

Think about this.
