[What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love] Question some of the rules

Life becomes stagnant when people protect their stored issues - Michael
Singer

What are the rules you have or have been given about living and life? And
do you know why you have or were given these rules? Some of my house rules growing up were:

"No, we don't speak about that around your father"

" Our family are strict Catholics, there will be no going to small church"

"Women and men have special roles"

I never ever thought about why these were the house rules! I never even
questioned them. They were automatic, passed down and really,they were law
in the house and the tribe!

When someone asked why, like my brave cousin who was very outspoken, there
was no answer or it was its just the way things are done round here!

There is never ever one way to live, nope sorry there isn't and I have
learnt that if you live by some of these 'rules" it may allow for little or
no joy, enthusiasm, spontaneity and excitement that is a hell of a boring
life! It closes you up to new ways of seeing things!

Question some of the "rules" sometimes, some you may accept and keep, some
harm you and need to be questioned, challenged and in some cases dumped!

Peace!
