Parenting's Difficulty
- Parenting is difficult because it forces you to rely on ingrained instincts and habits.
- Often, these habits are not consciously formed, leading to reactive rather than intentional parenting.
Rule of Life
- A "rule of life" involves intentionally choosing habits to shape your life's direction, aligning with ancient wisdom.
- Modern individualism often leads to becoming a slave to unconscious habits, whereas a rule of life promotes purposeful living.

- Consciously choosing habits aligns us with our desired outcomes instead of defaulting to unconscious patterns.
