In a earlier video I talked about the difference between doing the best you could do or the best you would do in your relationships. In this video, the word should enters the conversation since “what you should do” is so often a big part of the relationship. I am referring to the differentiation between the words would, could and should.

The word ‘should’ usually has to do with one person having an idea that they want to impose on you. It is not a participatory way of having a relationship. It does not draw from each person’s understanding, and is most often used when one person has decided that they know best about what needs to happen and now it is up to the other person to implement this idea.

Have a look at this fun little video try to avoid the word “should” whenever possible.
