Episode 17 - Ask How Not Should

The Lin Life Universe

One of the causes of unnecessary suffering in your life is the word should. There’s this belief that you should do something or should not do it. Then you go and ask your friends and your family, “Should I do this? Should I not do this?” Sometimes you pay advisors and consultants. “What should I do next?” That's not the right question. The right question is, “How do I do this?” Find something you want to do. Then ask how do I do this. Start doing it. If you don’t want to do the work, then there's your answer. So that's the shortcut. There is no should. Just what you want to do and how you go about it. Want answers? Send your questions, comments and thoughts about life to [e-mail].
