“The shoulds have gotten me in the most trouble.
Is it a should because I have to or because it is good?
I ask myself if it (the thing I committed to doing) is tonight will I be excited to go or will I be rolling my eyes wondering why did I say yes to this?”
Quote from Tim Ferris podcast with Danny Meyer, founder of Shake Shack
REFLECTION:
- Do you have shoulds?
- Do you say yes when you want to say no?
- Examine your shoulds and determine if it is something you can say no to… a thoughtful no thank you to?
- I realize some things we must do because of obligations and commitments but if they are a disproportionate part of your day/life, maybe it is time to examine your “shoulds.”
