By breaking the rules of engagement in battle, Napoleon altered the course of European history and military strategies. Beethoven Broke the rules of composing symphonies. Frank Sinatra Did it his way. We make rules based on reasons that make a lot of sense. We follow these rules.
Time passes, and things change.
The original reason for the generation of these rules may no longer exist, but because the rules are still in place, we continue to follow them. Ask yourself why they are in place and if you still need them. Add something new to the mix. Alter some part of your routine, make life different and exciting. Continue to reflect on your practices and determine if they are keeping up with the changes.
