Daily Divine: A case of the "shoulds"

2/1/2017

13 php.Blog.BlogRenderer_19

 
Years ago, when I was newly out of the gates as an author, I had the Misbelief that I had to do it a particular way.
 
I had a very strong case of the “shoulds.”
 
An author travels all over, right?
So that’s what I “should do”.
An author does expos and conferences, right?
So that’s what I “should” do.
An author sticks to one subject and doesn’t stray from it, right?
So that’s what I “should” do.
 
Um…. yeah.... well.... as you know, that didn’t work out.
 
I am miserable in planes, trains and automobiles.
I find the energy of expos overwhelming.
And everybody knows I can’t stick to one subject... I'm interested in lots of ideas!
 
With my terrible case of the “shoulds,"  I spent almost a decade trying to fit my very square peg into the very round hole we often think of as “author”, and of course none of it worked.
 
We can only be who we are, because that’s the reason we’re here.
 
We are not here to be someone we're not.
We’re here to inhabit and embrace and own our beautiful uniqueness.
We're here to be our selves.
 
When I finally gave up all of those “shoulds” a few years back,  my work immediately deepened and my understanding of why I am here grew exponentially.
 
I can’t recommend this enough: letting go of all the rules of how how society says you “should” be.
And just be who you really are. 
 
After all, that’s your purpose on this planet.
 
In 2017, it would be amazing if we all let go of our “shoulds”, and just were who we really are?

Much love, 
SARA

Completely relate and have been stricken with the "should' many times.
I too do not care for traveling in planes, trains, etc. The energy is difficult to filter and I do not like being physically contained with no option to get out. Heck, I want to be cremated because the thought of being buried in a box (despite that fact that my soul has left its vessel) is unsettling. I celebrate my unique self expression - let us all be our true self's and kick the "I should" out of our thoughts....sending you love Sara.....have a great day in your wonderful woodlands....

Yes. Just say no to "shoulds". Yes to responsibilities and commitments, but no to "shoulds" that aren't really ours.

Thank you, Ruth. It is very easy to be pressured by dominant culture, by our past upbringing, all of those ways group thought affect us. And yet, we are souls, each here on our unique journey toward Oneness and Light.
