The Difference Between "I Can" and "I Should"

Being capable is a strength. But somewhere along the way, I can handle it can quietly turn into I should handle it. And those are two very different things. In this episode of In the Weeds with T, we’re talking about what happens when being the capable one becomes an expectation, both from the people around us and from ourselves. I don’t believe your capability is something you need to fix. Being dependable, resourceful, and able to figure things out has probably helped you build much of the life you have today. But just because you can carry something doesn’t mean it belongs to you. We’ll talk about recognizing what’s actually yours to carry, allowing other people to develop their own capability, and why an open hour on your calendar doesn’t automatically mean you’re available. Your Capital Check: Ask yourself three questions: 1. Can I? Probably. 2. Should I? 3. Is this actually mine? Your time, energy, and capability are valuable forms of capital. You get to decide where they’re invested. Carry this with you: Your capability has already been proven. You don’t have to keep proving it by carrying everything you possibly can. Sometimes owning your authority means stepping up and sometimes it means looking at something you absolutely could handle and deciding: This one isn’t mine. 🎙️ In the Weeds with T Success is only part of the story. Let’s talk about the rest. Website: www.tamikomcgurk.com Connect on IG HERE
