THE POWER OF LANGUAGE

"Words are slippery and tricky creatures, whether they drop from the tip of the tongue or of the pen, and when used in important matters, cannot be too carefully watched or too strongly manacled."
~ Leila J. Robinson ~

The word "should" limits our lives.
It puts a collar around our throats,
And shuts down spontaneity and flow. 
In the past it's a waste.
In the future it's a ball and chain.
Why bother with it at all when there are so many 
Positive and life expanding 
Alternative possibilities?

I change the "shoulds" in my life to "coulds," and that changes everything.
