It seems as if people invent new rules daily, ironically that’s exactly what I’m about to do. I do however feel this particular rule is a justifiable one that actually makes a difference. If we were to collect all blogposts around the net, specifically those about “Rules”, we’d not have 3, or 5 or 100 rules, we’d have thousands. I’m going to be leaving you with one rule that applies in all situation, that will never fail you, because it’s your rule.

Rule 1: I will always make up my own mind.

This has worked wonders for me. I’m quite happy reading “Rules”-posts, but I will not remember them all, there’s just too many. But what I will remember is this one rule, to always make up my own mind. Perhaps it sounds as if I’m trivializing life in general, and perhaps I am. But whom else but ourselves is to tell us how we lead our lives. No situation is like the other, no other person has had the exact same experiences as you have. We’re completely unique. That’s why we have to have unique rules.

The above rule however, always applies. Sometimes I think to myself: “But how silly is this, always make up my own mind”, I always do that, but then again, no I don’t. In fact most people don’t. Most people sit and wait around for other people to solve their problems, to tell them how to exercise, excel in their career or become a fantastic partner. We’re in charge and that means we have to make up our own minds.

I will always make up my own mind.
