What You Should Be, What You Should Do

You Should? According to Whom?

“I should  …”

“I should be a…”

“I should just …”

You should – according to whom?

Who is telling you what you should do, be or have?

As a child, you may heard a lot of shoulds and some of them you wisely heeded for your own safety:

“You should never put your hand on a hot stove.”

“You should never dive into the shallow end of a pool.”

“You should never cross the street without looking both ways.”

However, once we become adults – who knows better what you should be or do  than you?

“Should” creates problems, should makes us wrong.  Should places guilt, should creates barriers.

So let’s get rid of the word should.

What is it that you could be or do, if you allowed it to be possible?
