When rules get tedious, it’s time to change them. That feeling is an intuitive nudge. It’s physical. Trust your gut.

Rules are made to be broken. 90% of rules are designed to expire. They should come with a time-stamp. Generally, rules are created to solve a problem or correct confusion. Good rules fix the problem. Once a problem is fixed, it’s time to look for new challenges.
Rules made for breaking are the ones that serve no purpose. They feel tedious. We need to let go of them to see what needs fixing and what doesn’t. It’s important to look at the big goals.. Otherwise, we remain mired in the past.
Rules teach and we learn. For example, with dieting, you may decide to have desserts only on weekends as an experiment to gently lose weight.You make it a rule. It becomes a handrail to keep you on track and then it becomes an automatic part of you. You feel a calm, healthy sense of accomplishment. The rule has done its job. You’re ready to move forward.
Today everywhere, rules are ‘broken’ because they no longer make sense. We are evolving. Problems, like everything else, change. It’s part of the topography of living. Everything upgrades.
By responding to change, instead of rules, we sense intuitive guidelines – strategies for success. Curiosity, dignity and courage protect us to evolve and overcome adversity. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you think? Think with your senses. Notice winds of change.
We are creating Curious#Happenings all over the world in the next 18 months to share how to think with your senses and feel with your mind, to step onto solid ground – outside the box.
Original music, inspiring technology and sensual thinking… Are you ready?
Here’s an example of Thinking Outside the Box, driven by Curiosity and Determination:
