Be natural

Osho: "Whatsoever happens naturally is good, and all shoulds are repressive. If you are feeling copping out, cop out. It will be wrong and you will be going against nature if you force yourself and remain in it.

Everyone should feel their own spontaneity. When you feel you want to withdraw, withdraw; when you want to be with someone, be. If you only want to half do something, only half do it. There is no urgency to complete it. There is nothing wrong in it. You have an idea that one should do things completely. That idea is creating the trouble. There is nothing wrong in it! You half do things - why be worried about it? That worry is your own creation.

One should start loving oneself, accepting oneself, because there is no other way for you than to be yourself. Just accept, otherwise you will create misery.

All 'shoulds' are dangerous, and all ideals and perfectionist ideas are very dangerous. There is no need for them. Whatsoever you can do, do, and enjoy it. When you feel that you want to get out of it, simply get out - with no grudge, no grumble or guilt, so you remain clean and pure"
