Joy and Strength Are Breaking Your Own Rules

Joy and Strength are … breaking the rules, your own, I mean. I was driving carpool down a one way, narrow street and a moving truck blocked the way. I had to back all the way up into an intersection and I asked myself what metaphor this was. What my intuition said was that ‘sometimes the way forward is just too narrow and so you have to back up, do something different, break your own rules.’ And so today I kept quiet when I’m normally direct and straightforward, put on a sweater that didn’t quite match what I was wearing and who knows what else I’ll do to shake up my own paradigm. It feels really freeing and expanding  Soooo, how about you? Just for today do something different and break your own rules
