The word "should" is often a judgment in disguise. "I should be over this by now." "They should know better." 🌫️

When we focus on "should," we aren't being effective. We’re fighting reality. Effectiveness is about accepting reality as it is so that we can actually *do* something about it.

Debbie and our team use these skills every day in our own lives. We know that letting go of "should" is hard work, but it’s the path to peace. 🧡

Let's try to replace one "should" with a "what is" today.

At the intersection, something powerful emerges:

➡️ Gratitude + Envy = Aspiration
➡️ Uncertainty + Trust = Faith
➡️ Confidence + Vulnerability = Courage

Understanding this concept helps us respond with more clarity and compassion — for ourselves and others.
