Should-ing | Note 534

Is it a should or a want?

 
Do you say I should do this or that and then do the opposite?
 
You know, I should go to the gym, I should make that call, I should apologize, I should write a book, I should be more proactive in networking at events, I should be further along in my career, I should start looking for a new job, I should know what I want to do with the rest of my life.
 
Basically, you are ‘shoulding’ all over yourself.
 
What you should do and what you want to do is different.
 
You can wish and wait for things to happen, or you can go out and make the things you really want happen.
 
Either way, as Tony Robbins says, “stop should-ing all over yourself.”
 
So what will it be? Will you stop should-ing?
