Have you ever clearly known what you "should" do in a given situation, but you really didn't want to do it?
     By my estimation, about 80% of our population experiences this dichotomy.  There's an internal battle between that portion of you that says, "Hey, get with it, 'cause you MUST do this!" and the portion of you that says, "No way!  I don't HAVE TO do this, and I'm not going to!"
     It's tough enough when you have a strong adversarial conflict with someone "outside" of you, but when you know that such a struggle exists inside and you can't do anything about it---well, that's just downright frustrating!
     Today's article, “When You Know You Should, But You Don’t Want To” offers some hope that you can do something about it!
     If you've experienced this situation, I'd love to hear how you addressed it and what your results have been.  If you've never experienced this situation, I still welcome your thoughts, questions, alternative opinions, or suggestions.

     Have you heard of "the marshmallow experiment"?  A reader pointed out how similar my article last week was to the findings of this research.
     So, I have added one more column to this treatment of choice-making.  I hope you enjoy "What Do You Think I Should Do?  (Part 3)."

     This week's article, "What Do You Think I Should Do? (Part 2)," starts off where last week's ended.
     You can create a collaborative environment (and help a friend grow) just by answering this one simple "What should I do?" question in a slightly different way. Enjoy.

     This week’s article, “What Do You Think I Should Do?” describes a model I've used for about twenty years.  I've just never thought to put it on paper (in any form other than a handout for a training session).
     This is the first of a two-part article; I apologize that I was not able to squeeze all the content into a single article.
