Polish Your Perspective

There is no "should".

So many people, myself included, have been complaining about the weather. It's hard not to. We do have a president for what "should" be happening with the weather at this time of year. But it is a perfect example of how what we think should happen can't possibly be what always happens.
You can see this in the ways of human behavior as well. It's hard, if you insist on seeing the world only through your perspective, to understand how people can make decisions that don't mesh with your point of view. If you insist on making the world fit your expectation you will only be setting yourself up for disappointment and strife. 
What if you acted as if what you are perceiving as obstacles was what you were supposed to have? Be adventurous! What if you perceived those obstacles as stairs instead of boulders. Maybe you become a rock climber. Live with less shoulds this week.
