These are some of the Rules

Here are some simple Rules in life.  Firstly if you don't go after what you want in life you will never have it. Of course that does not mean forsaking everyone else, or the important things in your life, but it means that you need to be relentless in the pursuit of that which you have set out to do.  You will get a lot further in your quest if you commit your time and effort to that which is meaningful and personally motivational to you. Secondly, if you do not ask the answer will always be no.  There are many sayings like nothing ventured nothing gained and if you don't ask you will never receive.  We need to pose questions of the type that signify new opportunities and new possibilities.  By not asking we are limiting the possibilities of success and we are opening up to the chances of misunderstanding and wrong presumptions.  Sometimes we need to pose the hard questions and although we expect a particular answer, we may be surprised to find that the answer contains new possibilities and opens new doors.  No one has ever truly succeeded with a goal or dream unless they have asked many questions of how and why and what if.  Thirdly if you do not step forward you will always be in the same place.  It is very easy to think that you are growing or moving to a better place, but all the while you are really standing still.  Once you start to move you will find that the view and the surroundings could change, or look very different.  They may not even be the rosy place that you expected but the fact is that you will be moving and whether slowly or quickly the question is rather the fact that momentum is gathering and you will be nearer to the goal you have set and not further.  It is not always easy to move because we are afraid, or concerned about the consequences, or what other may think, but the consequences of not trying are far harder to endure than even a failed effort.  And when in doubt try and try again.
