Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration


The focus for today is:  I choose my actions according to what is for the highest good.


Should usually refers to rules or preferences set out by others, whether by parents, authority figures, or society. Some "shoulds" are beneficial, as in you should not yell "Fire" in a crowded theater. However, shoulds tend to relate to controlling personal behavior to fit an established norm. Our heart needs to be free to choose its own path -- not to follow the path prescribed for us by others.


Anything that is instilled in us, either by repeated suggestions or indoctrination, is a should. Shoulds - and shouldn'ts - are burdens. They are heavy chains that keep us from being ourselves. And not only do :"shoulds" come from others, but we also use "should" on ourselves.

You may have heard the expression, "don't should on yourself". This refers to all the times we tell ourselves we "should" do a particular thing, or act in a particular way. It is definitely another form of rigidity as it restricts our natural way of being. In order to allow miracles to take place in our lives, we must let go of "should" and instead choose our actions and live according to what is for the highest good, in each moment.

Today's Daily Inspiration was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:

From Rigidity to Change
