Where Do You Live?

Do you live in the rules of life or in the exceptions of life?

What are dreams? They are the fantasy of what might be in the exceptions of things…they are never certain. They are important to keep us focused on work in the present as we build a bridge to our dreams. Dreams can only come true when we build a foundation on which it can manifest, built on the present rules of life. But we must live in the present rules of life not in the dream of the exceptions of life. Much focus is put on “holding on to your dream” but not nearly enough on what it takes to reach them, or when to let them go and choose new dreams.

Many get caught living in the exceptions of life and spend most of their life wandering aimlessly in the caverns of the rift between life as it is and life as they dream it to be.

Rule: What you give to both yourself and others is what you get in return.

Exception: What I want or need will come without me doing much because I deserve it above all others.

Rule: Love is hard work, the task of tending the fires of love as they grow and die down. The joint venture of being ever so vigilant to never let them die out.

Exception: I will meet the one that completes me; my other half and we will live happily ever after.

Rule: Children are not extensions of their parents. Just as they may bring great joy and happiness, they will be a pain and a headache at times, and require most of your time and attention when they are young. They will “hate” you when they are teenagers, try their best to get away from you in early adult hood, and love and need you all at the same time.

Exception: Children are a joy and make you happy each and everyday. They will grow up to be exactly what you dream, they will be and marry the perfect spouse, and want never to be separate for you.

Rule: Marriage is not love it is a contract between to people. It requires hard work, commitment and dedication to each party’s contractual duties.

Exception: Marriage is a perpetual blissful tryst, and if it isn’t then I am not in this marriage with the right person. Marriage should not be hard work it should always be easy and blissful, or at least it shouldn’t be this hard.

Rule: LIFE happens in the rules of life, not the exceptions. – There is an exception to every rule, except this one. :)
