SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - DROP IT!

Someplace along the path of our evolution we got addicted to the concept of 'should'.

It's a remarkable way of thinking that actually takes us out of the present moment into either the past or the future… and takes us there with recriminations and that pervasive sound of bullying!

How do you feel after you 'should' someone else?

                                                                                                         

OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES

“You should take a bath,” she told her very smart 3 year old son.

“No, you should take a bath!” he responded.

And years later. . .

“You should do your homework!” she instructed.

“No, you should do your homework!” he once again stated.

Telling people what to do sucks!


And is usually a projection of our own needs and desires – okay, we’ll allow a little leeway for Moms and small children - but really, that ‘should’ word is truly toxic!

What do ya think?

Ever enjoy being told what you should do?

And seriously, have you ever listened?
