Some rules are real — speed limits, taxes, contracts. But many of the rules that hold you back? You made those up.

In this episode of Morning Motivation, we look at the invisible rules we invent to keep ourselves safe, polite, and small — and how questioning them can open doors you didn’t even realize were locked. Whether it’s a “rule” about what you’re allowed to say, post, promise, or pursue… you owe it to yourself to ask: Is that really a rule — or just a thought I believed too quickly?

🗓️ Morning Motivation is a daily podcast that challenges your thinking, fuels your courage, and helps you act in alignment with your true potential.

Are you holding yourself back by following rules that exist only in your own mind? That's what many of us do we create rules We create reasons why we cannot do things because we're afraid something might happen we think well That's not right, or that's not appropriate now There are rules in the world that are real if you speed enough you will get pulled over you will get a ticket You'll have to pay that the rule you have to pay that is very real. They'll suspend your registration They'll take your car away that rule is Real, but the rule that you have to call your mother back as soon as she calls you and jump and do whatever she needs is That really a rule or is that simply something you've accepted? The rule that you can't call out people in your industry who are not doing the right thing Is that really a rule or is that something you've made up in your own? Mind how about this the rule that you can't talk about your own achievements Is that really a rule or did you just make that one up the rule that you can't promise that you can deliver something that? You know you can deliver because somebody might question it is that really a rule or did you just make it up? I see people every day holding themselves back because of rules They believe are true and sometimes those rules aren't restrictions. They are Requirements in their mind. I need to post every day on social media. I need to send an email every day I need to be on every platform. I need to have perfect pictures. I need this I need that I need this and My response whatever someone says is it says who whose rule is that who made that rule? We hear things from someone we think as an expert or someone we think knows what they're talking about and we internalize it That's a rule. I heard it. It's a rule. I must follow it Don't believe everything you hear and don't believe everything you think Many of these rules are figments of our imagination and as you look through your life you audit this you'll discover There's things you've been doing for years you spend hundreds of dollars hundreds of hours thousands of dollars Following rules that don't even exist or worse holding yourself back because of rules that don't exist So look at the rules you're following and make sure the rules that are stopping you are actually really rules
