Breaking the Rules


So often we are told to be perfect, to do the right thing. As children we were told to color inside the lines, eat everything on our plate, and clean up our mess.

But you know what? Life is messy. We don’t need to be perfect, to be in harmony with life. It is okay to be imperfect, just like no two snowflakes are alike, no two people look at life and deal with life’s situations the same way.

Revel in your mess and today break the rules. Color outside the lines, and work on being the best imperfect being that you can be. You will discover more things about yourself, than when you try to please others and fit inside the mold of perfection.

Give yourself permission – to
break free of the rules and fly!
"If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun."
Katharine Hepburn

All those people that enforced their way of life on us. Just like there is no two snow flakes are alike, there are many ways to climb to the summit.

Enjoy!!

People forget they create their own rules, limits and boundaries in their minds before they choose to adhere. Any urge to change in your behavior suggests you have outgrown your sense of what feels right. As your awareness grows, your sense of what is logical, possible and desirable all shift. We are each invited not to forget the incredible lightness of being available to us. Life in the physical world is meant to be fun!
