3 Rules That Will Immediately Change Your Life

These 3 Rules for Life are simple, straightforward but nearly impossible to adhere to. One of the best lessons I’ve taken from @JordanBPeterson over the years is that we can create rules for life for ourselves. I think this is incredibly profound. The idea that we can set our own principles to navigate the world promotes self-control and discipline. So I sat down and asked myself, what are MY rules for life? And, what makes a good rule for life? For me, they need to be simple and straight to the point, but also nearly impossible to achieve – because why would you want a rule for life you can hit within a year? They should require constant effort. I’ve shared my three in this video. You can love them or hate them, take them or leave them, I don’t care. But I’d like to see your rules for life in the comments. Timecodes: 00:00 INTRO 01:45 RULE #1: You are responsible for everything in your own experience. Even if it’s not your fault. 06:05 RULE #2: There is no such thing as a bad emotion. There are only bad reactions to emotions. 10:38 RULE #3: Every action and decision you make should be motivated to improve lives. --- See my interview with Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson here: https://youtu.be/dGDF2tTq6xw Like this video.
