Playing by the rules

Do you think it’s always right to follow the rules? Perhaps it’s best to ask ourselves — are the rules right? Will these rules help me grow and become better? Are these rules restricting me from doing something spectacular?

I think, sometimes, rules need to be broken. When we get into unhealthy routines or develop a rigid mindset, we need to find ways to break out of our comfort zone and grow. Rules can become a prison that prevents us from living a full life. Believe it or not, God has very few rules. In fact, He has only one big one: He wants us to Love. Love Him and Love each other. All other rules can be measured by this one standard. And — He wants us to have fun, to stretch ourselves and challenge the rules that others demand you follow.

So today, ask yourself — what rules have I placed in my life that have prevented me from growing, from doing healthy things outside of my comfort zone? And then break those rules. I’m very proud of you! Love dad
