THE CROSSROADS BETWEEN SHOULD AND MUST


  • Should is what others want us to do/think/say
  • Must is "who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest, most authentic self"
  • Careers are our callings
  • Choosing MUST is a huge risk and can often be scary and different
  • Choosing MUST  will open more opportunities.


Must and should are different. What is the true definition of "Should"? What is the true definition of "Must"? To be honest, should and must seem to have the definition, but when one looks closely into the context, there is actually a significant difference between "Should" and "Must". The only way to choose the right term, one can put it to use for their self-reflection. For me, I feel I am doing what I "must" and feel to do.
I must help others. Society has asked everyone to help others, but, the truth is that helping others is your choice. My choice is to help others because I feel I must help. Doing things that we must do shows our true personalities and who we are truly both on the outside and in the inside. People see who we truly are without even making any acknowledgement or effort to know us through verbal language. They see us through how we act, say, or do things. 

Doing things that we should is a totally different thing. If we do things that we are told, then we are doing things that we should. But, is alright to do some things that we are told to do? Should we be influenced by that? Should we even do those things altogether? Society creates two general types of people, the good and the bad. Both types of people do what they are told to do. They claim that it is something that they "Should" do.

What is the true difference between "should" and "must"? Which is better, "should" or "must"? Well, the only way to differ the two is to determine which one will best portray who truly are which will say if "should" or "must" is better. If you are able to do what you feel that must do, then that is the better one because it allows you to take part in new opportunities though some may be risky, scary, or even dangerous.
