Rule Breaker
If you obey all the rules, you will miss all the fun.
– Katharine Hepburn
A question for you this morning is this, when it comes to following the rules are you a rule follower? Or are you a rule breaker?
I will tell you that I have been known to break a rule or two along my way. This could be anything from driving a little over the speed limit (just a little) to _______________ (you fill in the blank).
Through my life experiences I have found that in order to have success in life you can’t just be robotic, following along mindlessly because someone, somewhere, somehow told you to do something.
Perhaps this comes from my Catholic school upbringing where I felt like I was in a cage most of the time. Always getting in trouble for the silliest of things. Getting in trouble for showing any and I mean any sign of independent thinking.
Undoubtedly this is what led me to spend most of my career as an Entrepreneur. A career choice that requires that you break a few rules along the way, most especially those that are self-imposed by your own fearful thinking.
Most innovation happens when we think outside the box. Especially with the goal is to improve the world around us, keeping in mind the overall good your work can do.
This is how I approach the world of plants and gardening. There are hundreds of books and “ways” to do things. And I do learn what I can when I can. However, I believe when it comes to gardening or any creative endeavor, you do you.
This glorious sunset is from last night when I arrived in San Diego what a lovely welcome.
I especially like to break the rules when it comes to creativity and the joys creativity can bring into our lives. How about you?
In this week’s video I share my first seedlings of the year. I have had to to control myself by not planting too many indoor seeds right now because of all my travel ahead. Don’t want to overburden those holding down my homestead in my absence.
Follow along with my adventures this week over on Instagram. I will be sharing the goings on from Bailey’s home base here in San Diego while she and Steve are in New York and Chicago launching Breaking Up With Dairy one book at a time. Another rule breaker to be sure as they share a healthy way to think outside the box. Now that my friend sounds like fun!
Have a great week ahead!
Onward we grow,
