I never really thought about life being two different paths of Should and Must. This article really opened my eyes and got me thinking about all my decisions and whether they fell into the Should category or the Must category.
If I'm being totally honest with myself, I'd have to categorize a lot of my past experiences in high school into the Should category. I've fallen into the routine of just doing what my teachers ask me to do in order to receive the A, and nothing else. It's almost time for graduation and I've found myself asking the same question in my head, "I've already been accepted to college is all this really necessary?". I feel it's time to stop going with the flow and doing mediocre work.
I hope to see myself going down the Must path a lot more in the future. Going to college is the perfect opportunity to start fresh and start doing what I believe in instead of what others want. If I find myself not liking my chosen major, I hope that I listen to myself and branch out to try something different. My biggest fear is to find myself in a job I hate and don't look forward to go to every morning. Something I'd like to see myself doing in the future is co-owning my own boutique and marketing the name out to the world. After reading this article, I know that I shouldn't give up if things don't work at right away. Instead, I should keep on pushing through even harder until I see the results I want.
In conclusion, this was a very eye-opening, stunning article. It really left me looking at life differently and making sure that everything I am doing and will be doing, is for myself and not for anybody else.
