Living Life by Your Own Rules!
In some ways I am a major rule follower. In fact, the other day I was at Sacre Coeur and there was a sign that said "No Photos" and even though there were tons of tourists snapping photos and the church is so gorgeous, I kept my camera zipped up in my purse. I followed the rules, not because I worried about getting in trouble, but because it felt like the right thing to do.
There are other rules that I just don’t get. I don’t understand any of the rules about dating. I don’t think waiting X numbers of days to call someone or having sex after the X date (regardless of what you are wanting or feeling) makes any sense at all. Now I know that some people have followed “The Rules” or other dating guidelines and landed a mate…but for every one of them there are many more who found partners their own way.
Right now I’m writing you from Paris. I am here for 5 weeks! When I first starting telling people about this trip, they shook their heads and stared. Then people started asking, “Can you really do that? What about your practice?” For a brief moment I totally bought into the fear and the critic, “Ah! What about my practice! Living in Paris for 5 weeks, who does that?” (turns out, I do that). As I became more comfortable with my decision (as I assured myself living my dream is good modeling for my clients) people really started to respond positively. As I started to live my dream, people started to tell me about their dreams. If we only look at the rules (or the things we think are rules) we might miss out on living passionately, living fully, living authentically. If we worry about living by other peoples’ rules, we might miss out on living our best life!
What rules get in the way of living your best life?
Are they “real” rules?
Wear your seatbelt or stop for red lights.
Are they rules that make the world better?
Treat others as you would have them treat you.
Or are they stories you tell yourself (or someone else told you)?
You can’t do what you love for a living. You can’t live in Paris for 5 weeks if you are a small business owner.
Who says you can’t live your life the way you want to?
Here I am enjoying my neighborhood in Paris!
Who says you can’t live by your own rules?
