Anything GoesSample

Have you ever noticed how different a task feels when you choose to do it rather than when you're forced to do it? Whether it's homework, chores, or practice, our attitude toward a task has the potential to change the way we approach it. Our mindset can transform a burden into an opportunity. Scripture challenges us to see our responsibilities not as restrictions on our freedom, but as chances to develop character and show what we're capable of. When we give our best effort to whatever is in front of us, we experience more freedom to enjoy it—the freedom of knowing we've done our best and can be trusted with more along the way.

Today, pick one responsibility you usually dread and try approaching it with a different attitude. How might seeing it as an opportunity to grow in both freedom and responsibility change how you feel about it?
