Monday Morning Motivation – Should
(Sharing Resources to Help You Grow Personally, Professionally & Financially)
Sometimes it helps to get a little dose of encouragement — along with a good cup of coffee! — to start the day.
Hopefully the message below will help you get off to a good start for the week. Please feel free to forward the newsletter on to others that you think would benefit from the content.
Should
Should is a really interesting word. Normally we use it when two conditions are present:
- We know what the right thing to do is
- We don’t take the topic seriously enough to actually do it
Examples include:
- I should start exercising
- I should spend more time with my family
- I should be more careful about what I say
- I should save more
- I should enjoy life more
It’s REALLY unfortunate that should plays such a big role in our lives. I’d offer that “will” is a MUCH better alternative than should. Take the above examples:
- I will start exercising
- I will spend more time with my family
- I will be more careful about what I say
- I will save more
- I will enjoy life more
Funny how this one little change makes such a big difference in things.
That brings me to this week’s question:
- Are you ready to replace “should” with “will” in your life?
Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with me this Monday morning and I wish you all the best for the week.
