My New Rule

Leave a reply

Don’t dwell on those who can’t or won’t help you focus on those who do – my new rule

Today, twenty-four days into 2020, I have resolved to no longer  dwell on those who can’t or won’t help me and to instead focus on those who do – I have ideas and projects all I can do is present them well if people help me implement them I will be delighted and so grateful and if not I will move on and find more people to present to I won’t spend hours dissecting why the people I thought could help me chose not to because it’s really not productive.

Day 2056: Rules for Life

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” – Confucius

 

It’s 12: 05 PM on day 2056 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Ecclesiastes 3, have breakfast, learn one new thing – The octopus is a cephalopod of the order Octopoda that inhabits many diverse regions of the ocean, especially coral reefs. The term may also refer to only those creatures in the genus Octopus. In the larger sense, there are 289 different octopus species, which is over one-third the total number of cephalopod species. –  and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign  – raised $5 615 only $635 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂).

 

Yesterday I was kidding around and I created this Facebook post titled Rules for Life it started out as a joke but the more I wrote the more I realized these are most of the rules I live by so I’m sharing them in today’s blog post. Take a look:

Rules for Life

  1. Do no harm (either in word or deed)
  2. Help everyone that you can
  3. Always be grateful
  4. Go the extra kilometre (because the difference between “ordinary” and “extraordinary” is just “extra”)
  5. NEVER give up (winners are just losers who didn’t quit)
  6. Have lots of fun

Day 259

Rules are a cautious person’s excuse for not participating in life – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 15 PM on day 259 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –no luck – read and leave comments on Connor’s Song and A Deaf Mom Shares Her World – both very inspirational blogs about life, love and overcoming the odds 🙂 – feed myself a polony sandwich for breakfast, watch TV, email Kidz – a disability website – my story – holding thumbs that they’ll publish it 🙂 – feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch some more TV, feed myself Pizza for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Today I stumbled onto an article called 30 Things A Woman Should Not Try Before 30 and while I did agree with some of the things on that list I believe that rules are highly overrated so I say live your life the way you want to as long as you don’t hurt yourself or anybody else in the process because at end of the day the best things in life are unplanned. Have you sucked all the fun out of your life by walking around with a checklist in the back of your mind?
