Making Up Rules

What kind of rules do you make up for your life?

Do you believe that you have to work at a hard, boring job just to make ends meet?

Do you think that you must experience a certain amount of sadness and suffering before you can succeed?

Do you feel that you must distance yourself from other people because they cannot be trusted?

Those are sad rules.

Here's a better rule:

Live each day in joy, expecting the best and being confident that you are a unique individual destined to succeed.

That's a rule you can trust.
