This routine is based on Mark Manson's third rule for life: every action and decision should be motivated to improve lives, both yours and others'. By focusing on growth and improvement in your daily actions, you'll cultivate a mindset of continuous personal development and positive impact.

• Increased sense of purpose and motivation
• Continuous personal growth and skill development
• Positive impact on others and your environment
• Enhanced decision-making skills
• Greater life satisfaction and fulfillment

These 3 Rules for Life are simple, straightforward but nearly impossible to adhere to.

One of the best lessons I've taken from @JordanBPeterson over the years is that we can create rules for life for ourselves. This idea is incredibly profound. The concept that we can set our own principles to navigate the world promotes self-control and discipline.

When creating your own rules for life, consider the following:

1. They should be simple and straight to the point
2. They should be nearly impossible to achieve
3. They should require constant effort

• 00:00 INTRO
• 01:45 RULE #1: You are responsible for everything in your own experience. Even if it's not your fault.
• 06:05 RULE #2: There is no such thing as a bad emotion. There are only bad reactions to emotions.
• 10:38 RULE #3: Every action and decision you make should be motivated to improve lives.
