I sectioned the Rules of My Life into four areas :- me, my partner, my family and friends, and my social circle (including work and friends) to represent the four unconscious circles we all draw around ourselves.
Let me start with the most important of these, the Rules for
myself: Personal Rules, Rules for us.
These are the Rules that help me get out of bed in the mornings, face the world
with a positive attitude, and navigate my way safely and successfully through the day, no matter what may arise.
These are the Rules that will help me reduce stress levels, gives me the right
kind of outlook, encourages me to set my own standards, and have goals to aim for.
I guess that for each and every one of us, these Rules will have to be adapted to take into account our upbringing, our age,
and our situation.
We all need to have personal standards to
live up to.
They will vary from person to person, but it is vitally important to have them. Without them we are adrift and unable to monitor how we are doing.
With them we have a firm center, somewhere we can get back to, somewhere to switch base and recharge. They are our benchmark for personal
progress.
You are about to become a Rules Player. You are about to embark on a life-changing adventure, possibly, if you choose to accept your mission.
You are about to discover ways to
become positive, happy, and successful in everything you do.
KEEP QUIET: No one likes a smart arse. That’s the first rule. Keep It under Your Hat.
There may well be times when you do want to talk to other people about what you’re doing because, quite naturally, you
want to share it with somebody. Well, you can’t and you don't.
Let people find out for themselves with no clues from you. You may think this unfair, but it is actually fairer than you
believe. If you tell them, they’ll shy away. And quite rightly so we all hate being preached at.
So the first Rule is, quite simple, don’t preach, propagate, try to convert, shout from the rooftops, or even mention this.
You will get a warm glow from changing your attitude to life and having people ask what it is you have done, are doing,
and you can say that it’s nothing, merely a sunny day and you feel better/happier/livelier/whatever.
There is no need to go into any detail because that’s not really what people want to know. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite of what they want to know.
It’s a bit like when someone asks how you are. What they want to really hear is just the one word, “Fine.”
When I started writing and people read, it spurred a lot of people with the ability to be successful in the in what they do without having to resort to underhand means, I suggested the same thing and
found it worked.
Just get on with it, do it quietly, and go about your daily life happily and smugly without having to tell anyone anything.
