Breaking Selfish Rules
If you ever pay attention to how many unspoken rules given in a day, it can be enlightening. Some of those rules may have originated for selfish reasons and don’t really need to be rules anymore. Case in point: If I get out three bowls for cereal and the kids want to put them back in the cabinet so they can pick their own, I say no because I’ve already done it; I have an unspoken rule about not undoing things because I hate the lack of forward progress! Yet, at this young age, that cereal bowl choice is really important to my boys. I'm taking inventory of my unspoken rules and am surprised to find some selfish ones in there.
