To my great joy, I have just discovered there is only one real rule in life! Wow! Doesn't that make you breathe a big sigh of relief?!? Well, let me tell you a little story I just came across...

Two prime ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of stale. Suddenly a man bursts in, apoplectic with fury, shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk.

The resident prime minister admonishes him: "Peter", he says, "Kindly remember Rule Number 6," whereupon Peter is instantly restored to complete calm, apologizes, and withdraws.

The politicians return to their conversation, only to be interrupted minutes later by an hysterical women gesticulating wildly, her hair flying.

Again, the intruder is greeted with the words: "Marie, please remember Rule Number 6." Complete calm descends once more, and she too withdraws with a bow and apology.

When the scene is repeated for a third time, the visiting prime minister addresses his colleagues: "My dear friends, I've seen many things in my life, but never anything as remarkable as this. Would you be willing to share with me the secret of Rule Number 6?"

"Very simple," replies the resident prime minister. "Rule Number 6 is...Don't take yourself so damn seriously." "Ah," says his visitor. "that is a fine rule."

After a moment of pondering, he inquires, "And what, may I ask, are the other rules?"

The prime minister replies, "There aren't any."...

Hello Leslie, I like your blog. It's a very good reminder for everyone. with Love, Jocelyn
Boy don't I know it, I finally figured that out after reading Tolle's book, A new earth, wow, what a read, and what a guy! so insightful, anyway, I lightened up and feel sooo much better now, and I continue to look for and find ways to improve myself, I love the process, lifes just gets better and better, or should I say, I only get better and better just by shifting my perceptions!
Very good reminder, Leslie, I always thought it was Rule #62! But that means there are 61 additional ones?... I like your version much better!
Relax, Allow, and Enjoy the Holiday everyone, always appreciating!

Best for Now,
with Love,

Hi Lesley,

I love this one. I know you see how I have been able to flow through the recent "stuff". What a tremendous help this was for me when I read it, and what a great reminder your post is to me.

DON'T TAKE YOURSELF SO DAMN SERIOUSLY !!!

I Love You,
Robin Buckley
Very Good and sooooo true! The message really ties in with this weekend as Memorial Day here in the states.

With Love and Gratitude!
