Obligation

 Obligation

 Obligation that seem to hold and bind us although we fight them. What happens when we take obligation away and we are left with DESIRE or WANT.

I have a story to share with you that was shared with me

Her brother is in his early 20's and he was at his grandfathers home. He wanted to wash his car.. He washed his car.
He did not ask for assistance nor was he asked several times by himself or anyone else to complete the task.  Imagine this he was able to do it ALL by him self...

The sponge, bucket, water, soap, towels, window cleaner, wax with the turtle on it, wheel cleaner.. You get the idea right the WHOLE nine yards.

The grandfather another day asked this same reliable, independent ACTING male that could wash his car and find everything with out assistance to mow the grass. The same male could not find a rake, a broom, nor garbage bags. This same male missed most of the lawn leaving it uncut or cut incorrectly.

The grandmother asked the grandfather to help the male grandchild.
The grandfather answered
" He didn't need help washing his car"

Readers when we attack a task our PERCEPTION of that task is important. Obligation is not enough to do ANYTHING. DESIRE and WANT coupled with obligation can take you a lot further.

Last thing to think about. The obligation in the end is to yourself. When we short change others in our actions we are short changing our SELF.
