"The Rules of Life" by Richard Templar

Having wrote the hit "The Rules of Work" this book is about basic principles that are meant to help you get more out of life. After reading this book I find alot of the "rules" are common sense but the way he explains it is interesting .

There are so many bits I hope I'll remember but some main rules I find hit home are:

• Accept what is done is done- regrets, regret, regrets, so many regrets
• Accept yourself- love yourself, your the only you
• Know what counts and what doesn't count- who hasn't heard don't sweat the small stuff
• Take an interest in the outside world- don't get consumed by your own little issues in your bubble! Sometimes I feel I need a good slap to realise my life ain't so bad.
• No fear, no surprise, no hesitation, no doubt- well that just says it all
• Change what you can change, let go of the rest
• Aim the be the very best, not the second best -it takes effort, but knowing you tried is sometimes all that matters. "failing is fine, aiming for 2nd isn't"
• Dress like today is important- I am a massive fan of trackies and dressing gowns, but I know I feel so much more confident and sexy in heels and a dress, even if it is just going to the shops.
• Have a plan- your dream will be a dream unless there is some sort of a plan
• Get used to stepping outside your comfort zone
• It's ok to feel big emotions
• Look after yourself- look at my beauty section for some ways to pamper yourself :)
• Prune your stuff frequently- clutter is bad, throw out stuff you don't use or need, it feels refreshing.
• Only the good feel guilty- I like this one

These are just from one section of the book, so I really recommend it. Even though alot of the stuff you've heard before, reading it all at once kind of reminds you how important they really are. Good things to ponder on...
