Rules, rules, rules… I hate rules!

Anonymous

Updated: Sep 4, 2022




If you are anything like me, you are someone that goes with the flow. Just like a leaf that falls in the creek, I go where the water takes me. Easy going right? Not really, I didn't believe I had a choice. I was waiting for someone to rescue me from the Hell in which was my life. But for a long time, I was in denial… I thought everyone and everything was to blame. My family, my SO, my friends, people in general, I also thought it was the my unhealthy behaviors. I felt like I was the victim, someone did me an injustice and life just isn't fair.


But through my journey, I have come to realize that life is what you make of it and no one is coming to rescue you. So, at some point I realized that I needed to be my own superhero… Who me? Really? I am more of a villain, so I thought. I ignored the fact that I was truly a hero at heart and I wanted to be the best I could be, so I dreamed of being a superhero… I was taught you get what you put in and people get what they deserve.


I never believed it in my heart that some people deserve the bad things that happen. I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. So I always twisted this thought to, you get what you put in and people get what is meant for them, only the universe or God knows why. Yeah I said it God. It's not a bad word. I do have faith in something bigger than myself, the universe, mother nature, God, Satan & Angels.


In my childhood and throughout my adult life, I have dabbled in many religions but I don't have a particular one that I favor. Just like in life I take something good out of everything, I try to look on the bright side of things. I have accumulated so much knowledge and instead of following one religion faithfully, I have respect for all religions but these were crafted so long ago, and we live in a different world now. So, I came up with my beliefs… This is a combination of religions and quotes from the great minds of the world.


Sure, I have rules that I live by like:

  • Let it go

  • ignore them

  • give it time

  • don't compare

  • stay calm

  • It's on you, smile!

I like to keep it simple but what I was missing was rules for a happy life:

  • If you don't go after what you want, you will never have it.

  • If you do not ask, the answer will always be No.

  • If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.

Rules, I hate rules and I just want to break them, lol I was resistant and did not want to conform… But I came across rules for a kickass life:

  • Know your only competition is who you were yesterday

  • Earn, save and invest before you spend

  • Avoid negative people, life is too short

  • See failure as a beginning not an end

  • our habits decide our future

OK at this point I'm on board with rules, crazy huh?

Than I found more rules that I could live by like:

  • Stand up straight

  • Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping

  • make friends with people who want the best for you

  • Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world

  • Pursue what is meaningful

  • Tell the truth or at least don't lie

  • Assume that the person you are listening to might know something that you don't

  • Be yourself, what others think of you is none of your business

  • stop over thinking, the answers will come to you when you least expect it

I used to cringe at rules, that was my problem, I didn't embrace them and make them my own. You are the one that makes up the rules for your life, you have a choice and you are not just a leaf floating in the creek waiting for someone to save you, you are a leaf in the creek on a journey to your final destination.


TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK!

  • Improve your own game instead of playing others.

  • Focus on a higher purpose, not instant gratification.

  • Find and live your personal truth. Learn to be a good listener.

  • Define your problems precisely to make it manageable.

  • Accept that inequality exists.

  • And Always, always remember to take time to appreciate the good things in life.

Rules, rules, rules. No one wants to hear about rules, I am almost done I promise… These are the rules that changed my life…

Tagged as Rules of a Scientist's life.

  • Never stop learning.

  • Assume nothing, question everything.

  • Teach others what you know.

  • Analyze objectively.

  • Practice humility.

  • Respect constructive criticism.

  • Give credit where it's due.

  • Take initiative.

  • Ask the tough questions early.

  • Love what you do or leave.

Then I found rules of a creator's life:

  • Do more than what you are told to do.

  • Try new things.

  • Make work into play.

  • Take breaks.

  • Work when others are resting.

  • Always be creating.

  • Make your own inspiration.

Rules are not so bad are they? Doesn't everyone know the Golden Rules for living:

  • If you open it, close it.

  • If you turn it on, turn it off.

  • If you unlock it, lock it up.

  • If you break it, admit it.

  • If you can't fix it, call in someone you can.

  • If you borrow it, return it.

  • If you value it, take care of it.

  • If you make a mess, clean it up.

  • If you move it, put it back.

  • If it belongs to someone else, get permission to use it.

  • If you don't know how to operate it, leave it alone.

THINGS 2 REMEMBER:

  • Eat regularly (and well). Get enough sleep.

  • Sometimes being a Bitch is necessary.

  • Stop talking and listen.

  • Don't take anyone's shit!

  • Things WILL get better!

  • If someone cant make the effort to be in your life - They don't deserve to be there.

  • It only ends once everything else is just progress.

  • A good cup of tea can solve just about anything.

  • Stick to your guns.

  • Impromptu solo dance and singing parties are good for your health.

  • Spend time with the people who matter most.

Remember to Smile! You don't own all the problems in the world. A smile can brighten the darkest day and make life more beautiful. It is a potential curvet to turn life around and set everything straight.

Do something that makes someone smile, even if it is just yourself. Smiles R FREE 4 EVERYONE! Let's bring Kindness back!
