Whenever I am playing a game, I like to know the rules... what I can do and can't do; what I can get away with, and what will get me into trouble. I have the same feeling about life.  The "rules" are principles or strategies to use when things are tough.  They give me a decision tree, to guide my choices. The rules keep me moving forward, toward what I want.  They also keep me honest and living within my virtues. I've gathered those rules together and want to share them with you.  I hope you find them helpful, even if you edit or alter them to fit for you. This week is Rule #1:  Let Fear Point, Not Direct I have discovered that fear is a powerful force for people.  It might protect us, sometimes.  But it can also hold us hostage from our dreams and aspirations. It gets in our way for one simple reason:  we use fear to direct our lives.  Fear is better used to point the way... to show us what's important. Let me explain further in my podcast this week, rule #1 of my Rules for Living series.
