F*ck (Some of) The Rules | Self-Help | Note 496

Do you do what works for you, or do you listen to what “they“ say?

 
They say, go to school, get a good education, and you are almost guaranteed to find a great job.
 
They say never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
 
They say, put yourself out there, and eventually, someone will notice how good you are.
 
They say time heals everything, so give it time.
 
They say a lot, but that doesn’t mean it all applies to you.
 
Here’s a newsflash for you, even if you follow all the rules, most of the things you do will never work out.
 
Following the rules will only take you so far.
 
No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
 
What if I told you that you need to forget the rules sometimes to see any significant change?
 
Sure, use what works for you but carefully consider rejecting the rest.
 
Why? Because what they say you should do and feel isn’t always right. In fact, f*ck (some of) the rules.
