I always wondered where the formal rule book was. Every one seems to imply that there is a written book full of rules that we must follow to be who we are. I am reminded daily of these rules and I wish someone would just hand me the book so I can study it. I learned quickly that there is no book because these rules are “unwritten” but everyone knows them….except me apparently.

In the past week, I was told all these great rules to help me achieve a better life. Every one of them has nothing to do with me but what “others” (I do not know who these others are but they are a powerful bunch) want me to do.

Well this group of “others” haven’t invited me to lunch so I say screw them! I am throwing their rule book away. This is my life and I am unique. There is no book of rules that is going to cover how I live because I am the first to be living my life and I will be the last. I am creating my own rule book which allows me to be me. Which allows me to be happy and allows me to love, laugh and LIVE!

I encourage all of you to throw out the rule book as well. Who needs it? It is heavy, drags you down and makes you live for “others” who no one particularly likes! It is time to take control of your life.
