Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 :: A "Should-less" World :: Imagine a world with no shame and blame -- where it's impossible to be "bad." Imagine a world where people can stumble, make mistakes, and sometimes even hurt each other, but they are never deemed "wrong." Errors are noticed, and course-corrections are made, but blame and shame never enter the picture. In this imaginary world, the word *should* is obsolete. Think about it: the force behind any "should" is almost always fear of being judged (which includes self-judgment). So, in our shame- and blame-free world, "should" has no teeth, and you're free to follow your bliss. Fortunately, the things that *really* matter to you -- like contributing to your children's well-being -- feel blissful when you do them, so you *want* to do them. No "shoulding" is required. Today, pretend your world is free of blame and shame, so you have no reason ever to "should on yourself." :-) Start following your bliss and soon you won't be pretending anymore.
