Cultivating a Rule of Life

The world spends billions of dollars every year to capitalize on one of the most profitable commodities in our culture and you give it away for free every day. They are doing everything they can to keep your attention and sell it for profit. They have structures in place to keep your attention for as long as possible and shape you into certain kinds of people. If they are willing to invest so much in your development why wouldn't you spend a little bit of time deciding on your own who you want to be. The habits you engage in shape you into the person you are becoming. Developing a "Rule of Life" is like building a trellis for a vineyard. It is the structure on which you will grow and bear fruit.
