A warning word about something being off is whenever you use the word should towards yourself, i should. The ancient greeks spoke about phronysis as a concept of a kind of practical wisdom. It's not that we shouldn't have any shoods, but it's that than nees to be a counterbalance. Until those values are kind of consciously chosen by you, then the should feels like a compulsion. But if you do the work to develop yur own values and figure out what it is that you want to do, thenyou can act in accordance with those values more often than not.
