The Thinker's Apprentice

51- My Rules For Life


Listen Later

In this episode I give you a snapshot of the rules that govern my life and have you consider whether you could benefit from creating your own rules. Topics include:

  • Why I had to create my own rules to govern my life for my own growth and benefit. 
  • I also make the point that these are my own rules and are not meant to be yours.
  • I talk about how some people live by a code according to their religion, the upbringing, and their own moral compass. This is perfectly ok as long as it works for you.
  • Then I dive into my rules and unpack them and explain what they mean to me and how I apply them to my life. 
  • That brings us to the rules:
    1. Resist, persist, and persevere always.
    2. Do unto others.
    3. Respect people's opinions and beliefs.
    4. Commit fully or not at all.
    5. Discover the wisdom in every experience.
    6. Never let other people's actions and reactions affect my own.
  • I go pretty deep into a few of these and share some personal stories that illuminate why I needed to make a rule in the first place. 
  • I go into why 3 of my 6 rules govern social interactions and I spend a good bit of time talking about the current state of our society.
  • And that brings me to this week's Call-to-Action. This week we explore what rules, if any, govern our own lives and direct our actions. And we ask ourselves if creating some governing principles to live by can help us to become the people we want to become.
