We all have rules in life

We all have rules in life,what are these rules and who makes them?  Do we make rules based on our preceptions cultures and experiences?

Some weired rules in life; never party with colleagues, never date your friends ex., I am not going to eat non veg on tuesday-thursday, I will marry a person of the same caste, I will not marry the person of same profession, I want someone who earns more than me and the list goes on.

But how many times do we follow these rules? Do we follow them everyday,once a month or once a year? Sometimes these rules in our life become the seeds of secrets. All of us have secrets.

Have you not even once thought of breaking a rule and entering into the no entry zone, ofcorse all of us have cheated ourself once or twice! But never have we been able to identify that makes us break rules more often than following them. Do we break rules according to our convience. Do we break rules if someone comes or leaves our lives

When rules dominate our lives , we try enforcing on others or atleast influencing others.  Where do they come to us, sometimes nobody gets to know of our rules and they think of us as rigid. Do we change our rules in life or are they are like new year resolutions. 

And when we alter  rules in our life do we pay a price. And the baggage of these rules overburden us.

Do we select area of life where we have these rules.  Maybe rules at work, rules for marriage, rules in a relationship, rules for life. But when we have these rules do we follow our heart. Can you actually go with the flow when you follow rules.

So take out your diaries write down those rules see where they come from and where you would like them to go with you. But the fact is life is too short for rules  and to long for regrets.
