Break the Rules.

A mother may tell her child not to touch the burner on the stove because it is hot. It is not until the child disobeys the order and breaks the rules that he finds the truth through the pain of his own experience.  The philosophy of truth is a great conversation; the reality of the experience is much more challenging.

Who's truth are you living? Do you find yourself subscribing to the limitations of others or are you creating your own reality by virtue of your own experience?  Do you find yourself stepping boldly into a world of your own creation or do you surrender to the doubts of public opinion, statistics and odds?

You may either be the rule or the exception. Every thought, word, and action is a choice. What choice are you making? You define yourself by the rules that you subscribe to in your life. What are the ten major rules that govern your life? Are these rules serving you or are they holding you back?

Today is indeed the first day of the rest of your life. Break the rules and create new boundaries of opportunity and adventure! Your life is waiting.

Success or sabotage? Don't allow others to define "success" for you; your experience is the best teacher.

Is this going to be an incredible day?  You shape the day; the day does not shape you.
