𝑾𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝑹𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒆?

Brush your teeth. Every day.

Drive on the right side of the road.

Eat three meals a day.

Who made all this up? And why do we agree with them?

Because it makes sense?

Sometimes.

Because it’s easier? Often.

But, does it serve me to believe it? It’s a little scary to consider that I could be wrong, when I’ve thought some things for so long. Like butter makes me fat.

Or, I have to be strict with myself to lose weight.

Maybe I’ll make up a new rule. Like, being kind to myself is the secret to happiness.

Then search the playing field of my life for evidence.
