Do, or do not…

Q. I’m tired, I’m cold. I don’t feel like exercising or walking. I want to sleep. This video I’m watching is making me frustrated.  I got nuthin.  What does the “U” have?  What should I be asking?

A. There are no shoulds in Universal speak. You do something or you do not. There is no right, there is no wrong. There are consequences and sometimes consequences can be unpleasant, and that might cause one to say or think “I should have…” but at that point, the “should” is past because whatever it was did not happen the way it “should” have in your way of thinking. In the Universe’s way of thinking, or tallying, it – whatever “it” was – happened exactly the way it should have. It happened. And that’s that.

Now, perhaps going forward, you will know not to do it that way again.  Had you not done it the perceived “wrong” way the first time, then it’s possible you would not have learned whatever the lesson was.

How does this apply to your current mood?  And your thoughts about regrets? What you “should” be doing?

And of course the answer is you should be “doing” nothing.  When you feel tired, take a nap.  Hungry? Eat. Lazy? Read, watch TV, do nothing.  If listening to a video presentation on a particular subject depresses you? Turn it off. Change the channel.

A huge part of enlightenment and spiritual growth that you are striving for is acceptance of who you are.  Acceptance of how you feel, how you look, how you think and acceptance of what you do and don’t do.  Accept who you are, where you are, when you are. Don’t overthink it. There are no shoulds. Just be who, what and when you are. No regrets. That’s what that’s about. Accept yourself. “YOU” know what you’re doing (or not doing).

A couple of follow up thoughts on this. When I use “U” – that’s an abbreviation for the Universe.  When I use a capital “YOU” that’s means my (your) higher self.

The fact that this writing brought up regrets is interesting because I didn’t mention it in my question but I have been thinking about it this week. I was thinking about people who die (in movies) and say they have no regrets and I was thinking that will be impossible for me.  I have so many regrets and second-guessing of choices I’ve made. I am very hard on myself.  But after writing (and reading) this, it makes sense to me that accepting myself for who I am would be a big step forward on many levels.  Accepting that I came into this life with a plan and that maybe I’m even following that plan to a T.  Maybe I’m meant to be who I am right now and all those perceived missed opportunities and “bad” choices were really the right opportunities to miss and those “bad” choices were the “right” choices. I think it will take me a while to get there, but perhaps I’ll come up with a mantra to remind myself when I get off track. I’ll ask AI.  It’s good with things like this.  It can sum it up for us and give me (or if you have this problem too) a mantra to get back on track as needed.

🌎 Collective Message: Let Yourself Be

This post reminds all of us that we are not here to strive our way into enlightenment, nor to perfect our choices into absolution. We’re here to live. To rest when tired. To tune out what doesn’t resonate. To accept the moment, the mood, the mess—and to embrace our essence without apology.

There are no “shoulds” in spiritual truth. There is presence. There is pattern. And often, there is a quiet plan unfolding, even through the choices we once regretted.

You don’t need to fix or explain yourself to arrive.
You only need to allow who you are—and who you were always becoming.

🔮 Soul Mantra

I accept who I am, how I feel, and where I’m standing.
There are no shoulds. There is only this moment—and it belongs to me.

PS – Yoda’s quote is “Do, or Do Not…There is no Try” – however, seems close enough to “Do or Do Not.. There is no Should” – so I’m using it! Same-same.
