EVERYONE HAS A RULE OF LIFE
Eveyone has a Rule of Life, a set of principles on which they base their lives. It can be summed up as the "Rule of Loves." Life is directed to enhance, cultivate and protect that which one loves. And on that basis, one's Rule of Life is usually not put into words. But we could put their Rule of Life into words if we could see
- where they spend their time and money
- where they expend their energies
- what they treasure most and would protect like a lion
- what energizes and restores them
- what gives them satisfaction
- what gives them peace of mind and heart
- what enables them to grow
- what gives them a sense of relationship with something greater than themselves
If we were to look at our own lives in that light, we might be surprised at the Rule of Life we've been living our lives by.
