Day 307: On Breaking Your Rule s

Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation:

they  are  for  such  moments  as  this,  when  body  and  soul  rise  in  mutiny

against  their  rigour.  (...)  If  at  my  convenience  I  might  break  them,  what

would be their worth?

—Charlotte Brontë

 

307

We’ve already talked about adopting principles you’ll live by in order

to make your decision-making process more efficient and make choices that

are more aligned with your true desires.

It’s  important  to  note  that  those  principles  aren’t  for  the  times  when

everything  goes  smoothly.  In  fact,  you  don’t  necessarily  need  them  when

things  are  going  well.  It’s  primarily  when  there’s  a  temptation  to  give  up

that  you  can  experience  the  power  of  rules.  You  create  them  to  prevent

yourself from making the wrong choices, no matter what the circumstances

are and which temptations you feel.

For  example,  I  have  a  rule  that  growth  happens  outside  my  comfort

zone.  I  don’t  always  feel  like  subjecting  myself  to  discomfort  and  fear.

However, there’s a reason why I adopted such a rule: without it, I know that

I  would  back  out  more  often,  and  thus  miss  out  on  those  opportunities  to

grow.


Whenever  you  feel  a  temptation  to  break  your  rule,  remind  yourself

that it’s there for a reason. Breaking it means that the principle — and the

reason why you chose it — isn’t important to you. What does breaking your

own rules say about your reliability? Can  you  trust  yourself  if  you  fail  to

keep a promise that you made to yourself?
