You have to be OK with rejection, alienation and critics.
Following your spirit is not the way to win friends and influence people. You have to be ok with that. This is because your dream is never going to show up in a cute little jewelry box. It is going to show up as a dragon, or a mountain or a tidal wave. normal people are going to wonder why you just can’t get it together. Meanwhile, your spirit is going to be encouraging you to do the unexpected, the miraculous, the seemingly insane. Go with it. You will be happier than all your naysayers.
Don’t create problems for yourself.
We all want to live on the edge sometimes. Yolo. The fact of the matter is whatever shit you get yourself into, you are eventually going to have to get yourself out of. It is easier to jump into a hole than it is climbing out. Everyone is around for the fun. We suffer the consequences alone.
Make decisions that align with your destiny.
If you choose to be all that you know yourself to be, you are going to face challenges and experience pain. But please keep in mind, you are not going to avoid pain by accepting less. In fact, the easy way out always proves to be more difficult, and less rewarding in the end
Manage your mood.
The one thing you have complete control over is how you feel. This does not mean suppressing negative feelings. rather acknowledge where you are now and decide how where you want to be. Sometimes it feels good to pout and be a baby. Pity yourself if you must but only for a moment. For it is the way you feel which determines what shows up in your physical experience. Feel the way you want your life to be.

Know that it is all but a game.
Quantum physics has proven that we are living in a holographic universe which basically means that what we see and experience is not even real. Science has shown that what we call reality is merely a projection of our mind, as formless and made-up as a dream. Why take it that seriously? at some point, you will wake up and laugh at it all anyway. Start laughing now.
Thanks, Aphrodite! Stay tuned for more Five Rules installments.
“Five Rules,” is a series on Rouge18 in which I ask others to share their five rules for life about anything and everything. You can learn a lot about a person by reading which five things govern their actions, no?
