Create your own rules

And live by them.

We give up whatever type of power we have over our own lives by giving people full control and access to us when they don’t deserve it.

I mean if you’ve been paying any attention to the clusterfuck of the world in the last 12 months.

You’ll know how bad it is.

Hard pill to swallow?

You don’t owe any anything at all.

The longer you keep bending your knee to other people’s will. The further back you’re going to get pulled.

I want to do great thing and I want you to do great things too.

You can great your own rules one by one and start applying them to your life. They can be in person ones or even ones you use online.

Yeah I might sound like a dick for creating rules like this but if you don’t make ’em. Well. People are gonna walk all over you.

If you’re meeting a client. If they’re late. You leave. Unless they’ve had the hindsight to tell you they’re gonna be late. There’s no need wait. As they say. Time is money and the way you treat your own time is a massive reflection on oneself.

I have a strict no phones rule too (Within reason) we’re out for a meal or drinks or whatever. Be present. If you’re going to be on your phone every 30 seconds. Well… That’ll be the last time I invite you.

This here list. If you’re here. You’re here. If you leave you’re dead to me. No coming back. No oops I accidentally unsubscribed.

Dickish? Of course. Do I have higher quality humans in my life because of it?

Yes.

There are too many time wasters and people who just want to take take take.

That shit needs to stop.

Respect yourself, your art and your love for all the things.

Keep the good ones close and vomit out the ones who just take the piss.

Stephen Walker.
