Don’t Give It Up

You should do this. You should do that.

I should do this. I should do that.

Says who?!

From where does that expectation come?

When you use language like "should" it is an indication that you might be playing the victim.

Some external entity is saying you "should" do or say something.

Saying "should" gives up your own voice.

Saying "should" gives up your ability to make a choice about what YOU want, not what somebody else wants for you.

Don't do it.

Don't should on yourself.

Instead, use language of desire, yearning, wishing, or hope.

Replace "should" with "want" and notice what changes in you and how you look at "the thing."

Claim what you want for yourself. Claim your own power.

I want to do this. I want to do that.

Maintain ownership of you and your aspirations.

Don't give it up.

Create your life.
