I should be excited to work, really work. I should complete work that is hard, but rewarding.
I should be concerned about my health. I should be an early riser. I should eat 3 meals a day. I should exercise for a strong body.
I should be someone who is proud of what she accomplishes, instead of someone who gives just enough to get by and never enough to impress.
I should be that person who lives for herself, the kind of person who can stand on her own and know what exactly she is standing for, and what she is standing on.
I should be more communal. A better member of my community, of my church, of my family, of my many varied friendships. I should be fully committed to other people in my life.
I should cultivate real humor and great wit, the kind that makes you laugh from the inside out, and not at the expense of another.
I should speak to God like I do an old friend.
I should have a kind heart, the kind that reaches out to a thrashing child, the kind that stops for a stranger sitting alone on the grass, and the kind that doesn’t reek of jealousy.
I should accept that it is “okay if I’m not okay.”
I should be a woman.
