First Rule of Life

What NOT to Do
(Public Domain)

According to a bestselling book by Dr. Jordan Peterson, there are 12 rules for life.  At least that was the case until his sequel came out with 12 more.

Of all 24, the first seems the easiest.  So why not begin by focusing upon that?  If things go swimmingly well, perhaps the next 23 can fall gracefully by the wayside.

Let’s face it: “Fix your posture” is a breeze compared to God’s own first and foremost commandment.  Sitting up straight is way more doable than walking the straight and narrow.  Peterson points out that lobsters claw their way through life more successfully when manifesting a hardier stance.  So why not us?

He asserts that the “dominance detector” within our brains will know how droopy our shoulders might be.  Droopy shoulders may then result in droopy spirits, especially when coupled with many a droopy body part.  In conclusion: “To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open.”  So there!
