I HAVE TO VERSUS I WANT TO

I want peace, ok, so how do I get there?
First I need peace within, peace of mind, which for me means being free, doing what I really want to do, which is not necessarily what I have to do. But how do I get on with my life if there are so many things I have to do, and so many others I want to do and can't? Why can't I?
Am I not free to choose? Of course I am, but maybe I'm not making my choices consciously enough!
I feel that in the end is a matter of priorities, and a question of attitude.
I have started changing the 'I have to' for 'I want to'. Through that I have become aware that I want to do most of the things I decide to do, say, or even think; and I've also stopped doing things I do not really want to do, say or even think. The result is that I feel much more at ease with myself, which in turn allows me more space to feel good and better attitude towards others.
Want to try? just keep in mind: Do I want to do this? if the answer is yes, than put your joy into it! if the answer is no, consider revising your priorities, the reasons you give yourself to do it any way, and then do it with the best possible attitude. If you don't know the answer, ask again :)
