Rules!
We have all been raised with them, we live in a society full of rules.
As a teenager, there were so many…..’don’t do this, don’t that, definitely do that…!!’
And it left me wondering, ‘well what the f*ck can I do!’. It was often suffocating to be honest and I know I am not solo in feeling that. And I feel that lack of freedom follows us, keeps us from making choices we want to make. All of a sudden we are in our 30’s and we are still living by someone else’s rules.
I truly believe this keeps us from allowing ourselves to dream and most importantly it keeps us from BELIEVING that we can actually create our dreams, that we are powerful enough to create them. And I believe that this lack of true freedom or true self-expression is affecting us physically, mentally and spiritually.
It is making us sick.
But what if we created rules that we live by? Our own personal set of “Soul-Rules”! Rules that we live by, for us and that come before any society rules. What if these rules are ones that empower you, lift you up, create an excitement for life inside of you? What if they became the most important compass to live by?
No one else needs to know, only you have to answer for yourself.
This is your life, your journey, your happiness and peace.
Here are the rules I have written for myself (I think I have another couple of add, but cannot think of them yet! and in no particular order)
#1 Remove “I don’t know how” from my vocabulary
#2 Love myself ALWAYS
#3 Remove “I can’t” from my vocabulary
#4 Always have a horizon to steer towards
#5 Meditate daily
#6 Know that GREATNESS is inside of me and always do my best to live from there
#7 Eat well and nourish my body as best as I can….and give gratitude for the freedom to do so
#8 Love like my life depends on it…..because it does!!
Ps…..an example of a rule that I DON’T recommend is: punching all the annoying people in the face! (you may feel better, but it’s not really what we are going for here 🙂 )
Be the boss of your life….this is the only one we have. Will it always be easy, No! But it will always be worth it.
YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN YOUR LIFE!
