“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
There’s a subtle poison in the word “should.”
It seeps into our decisions, masquerading as guidance but often leading us astray. Every time you tell yourself, “I should be doing this,” or “I should be more like that,” you’re handing over control to someone else’s script for your life.
Next time you catch yourself saying, “I should…,” pause and ask: Who says? Whose standard is this?
Root out the hidden “shoulds” guiding your actions without permission. Challenge them, reclaim those choices, and let each decision reflect your true priorities and mission.
Free tools, tactics and techniques to help you be the man you were meant to be.
