9 Reasons Why We Cannot Live Life With Rules

As we grow up, we are advised by our parents, teachers, uncles and aunts and even strangers about how to shape our life. At every stage of life, one or the other person emerges to suggest us to live life with rules. Rules can suggest the way to perform any activity in life but cannot define a way to live life. Rules can bring rigidity into a person’s life.

Whether life is better or not with and without rules is a controversial issue. But it can be said that there is a path defined for everyone in life to achieve their share of success and failure, happiness and sadness, wealth and poverty, etc.

Since life has no definite set of rules, leading life can be a challenging task. So here are the 9 reasons why we cannot live life with rules:

1. Every Individual Has His/ Her Own Identity

The world is very big and comprises of countless social animals like us. We all are unique and we all play different roles. We all have our own unique experiences that give us our distinctive identity. Our identity determines our thinking, personality, attitude towards life and work and whether we like to stay stable or improve with time.

2. People Make Their Own Choices

We generally are surrounded with people who love to advise or impose their opinions on us. But it is you who have to choose to either accept their views or use your own mind. Since you are a free individual who has the right to have his/ her opinions, be confident to think and act independently and oppose the things, which according to you is incorrect. Use your own logic to justify your actions.

3. Sheer Luck Is An Important Factor

Luck plays an indispensable role in everyone’s life. The moment we are born it is our luck that decides where we are born, to whom we are born, how we are brought up, whom we meet, what our interests are, how healthy and stout we are, how safe we are, etc. Many people are of the opinion that people make their own luck and that they are in complete control of every act around them. But the truth is that our life on this earth itself is a matter of luck and no one can control nature’s act such as death, critical illness, unsafe environment, etc.

4. You Can Be Either A Leader Or A Follower

You have your own nature whether shy, loud, optimistic or introvert. Your behaviour determines your thinking and your thinking is the base for your actions. If a group of persons see a successful businessman, then all of them cannot think in the same way for him. Some of them will idealise him and follow his sayings and actions. Some of them will be inspired by him and will dedicate their time and energy in achieving similar success in life.

5. Everyone Wants To Go A Step Higher

Everyone wants to fly higher and higher. No one wants their life to be stagnant. Chances are high that a person you know has improved to become as famous as any celebrity star you admire. Some people have the quality of self-assessment and they are better at improvising themselves at every stage of life. While others become mere spectators clapping on others’ success but dreaming of attaining success for themselves at some point in life

6. People Learn From Their Experiences

Success cannot be purchased or sold. Nor can success be achieved in a day. Being successful requires undeterred efforts and accepting your failure with the same grace as accepting success. It is also a fact that success gives you fame and recognition, while failures only attract discouragement. These discouragements can make you feel upset, demotivated and may even hurt your ego. But success truly comes when you learn from all your good and bad experiences and bloom once again.

7. Success Should Valued

Not all people achieve success in life and it takes a lot of hard work and pain to attain it. Once attained, success is even difficult to handle. You will be loaded with lots of praise and respect that will give a boost to your ego. Everyone from your friends to your clients will try to take advantage of your basking glory. So it is up to you whether you want to become egoistic and rigid and abstain from improving further. Or you can share your knowledge and experiences for the betterment of the people who adore you.

8. Where There Is A Will There Is A Way

In life you will never know what the next phase will be. You are unaware of the direction your life takes due to your decisions. But you will always find more than one way to move ahead and it can be either too easy or too risky or confusing. At this juncture, you may not know which one is right or wrong for you. You will have to follow your gut feeling and have confidence in yourself to take chances in life.

9. Challenges Come To All

Some people believe that there is no fun in life if it is not challenging. Challenges in life are often uninvited. Accepting challenges and winning them requires lots of confidence and you need to push yourself out from your comfort zone. Since the outcome is uncertain, you have to wisely make your choice. But in life, there is balance in everything. Laughing and crying, good and bad, right and wrong, success and failure, every thing is balanced in life. Life flows like a waterfall, which cannot be obstructed with rules.
