12 Rules for Life! - Part 1

There is chaos in the world it comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and individual and family levels as well as from within larger corporations and even higher cosmic levels.

"But why is it so pervasive?" Well because it's the natural state of everything.

Entropy is another more scientific-sounding word for the degrading force of chaos which seeks to ruin anything and everything now. It requires effort and energy to set things right again to put them back in order it is a forceful and rightful application of this effort and energy that will help keep chaos at bay in our own personal lives. It'll help us live peaceful lives of purpose and meaning and make our institutions more aligned to their duty Dr Jordan Peterson lays out 12 rules to help turn this chaos into order and the rest of this blog is based on Jordan Peterson's book the 12 rules for life which seemed to be a great list of cliches to live a "Happy Meaningful and Successful life". 

Stand up straight with your shoulders back :

Standing up straight that's two powerful things. It exerts dominance and confidence and it also shows that you accept responsibility. Further research has actually shown that a physical stature even a small muscle movement can affect your emotions.

For example, gradually making a sad face will make you feel sad likewise having a stooped posture with your head hanging low leaves you susceptible to appearing as though your lower status now it's hard to accept responsibility for your actions when you're slouching or sprawled out on the floor by being upright with your shoulders back and your feet shoulder-width apart you exude a confidence and a willingness to take meaningful action it is this that separates people from animals being able to recognize your own actions.

Two treat yourself like someone you are responsible :

For helping there's a famous golden rule that goes

 "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

The truth is many people are terrible at looking at themselves. This is often seen in research from the medical field people don't take their medicine they don't take it at the right time they don't take the right ones and they don't take the right amount of medicine. However, people are usually really good at taking care of their pets. Think about it, You buy them food, you feed them every day, you'll wash them when they need it and if they start limping or puking, you take them straight to the vet. So, improve your own health exercise your mind motivate yourself and seize the greatness that is within you if not for yourself than to be better able to take care of those that you love.

Make friends with people who want the best for you :

Friends are amazing they add excitement humour and joy to your life without friends people become a shrunken shell of what they could become a so-called dark and twisted hermit friends also act on one another driving one another to become something different for example a group of men who are friends probably look very similar to each other have the same habits whether they're good or bad and laugh at the same jokes and because of what friends can do to us we have one heavy responsibility to choose friends that will be healthy influences and not toxic ones too. Choose your friends carefully.
