FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 53: Are vs Should Examples
If you think about any element in your life you can probably see an example of the Are vs Should Problem. Sometimes it looks like indecision or Analysis Paralysis (and see Episode 11: Analysis Paralysis). Other times it feels like frustration or anger. In my experience I feel like I…
