Wanting to and feeling obliged to do something

<![CDATA[

This is a very interesting topic, wanting to do something is essentially that you want to do it. However, with feeling obliged to do something it is more a requirement, often it may be imposed by another person; and can be something that is more of a demand from the other person. E.g., they want you to do something and it is necessary no matter what. When we feel obliged to do something and that we have to do it then a lot of resentment and hurt builds up within us.

However, when we want to do something the resentment is not there. Yet there are people who shirk both and not want to do something, nor will they understand that such must be done. They may be neutral to both, that they do not give a stuff if something happens or not. This is not a good place to be in as it can leave many things in life undone. Many goals unfinished and many tasks undone again which builds more resentment in some people.

In life, we need to do those hard things no matter how hard they are, we have to want to do them no matter what. We have to take out the rubbish, we have to deal with family and in laws, we have to go to work, we have to pay our bills. Unfortunately, the people who shirk responsibility and neither want to or feel obliged to pay their bills; take out the rubbish, clean up for themselves will end up in a bad situation. The best solution is finding a way to turn these things into a habit and do them regularly, also to not procrastinate by putting those things off for as long as you possibly can; just hoping someone else will do it or it will no longer be necessary for you to do such. When you want to do them and actually do the thing that you are putting off, you get a sense of achievement when you have done such.
