# Write Your Own Rules

You already have rules for what makes you feel safe and secure, and for what makes life feel amazing. Most of them are unwritten. This free two-page guide helps you see them, rewrite them, and use them to make better decisions.

## What’s inside

Two forces pull on you for life: the need for certainty (feeling safe and secure) and the need for uncertainty (variety, growth, the feeling that life is amazing). Work through the guide by hand, or let AI interview you.

 

 

Step 1

### Notice the rules you already live by

Finish two sentences for your financial life, your personal life, and your career or business. No editing yet. If an answer comes quickly, dig for what’s underneath it.

Step 2

### Rewrite them into healthier rules

Pick the rules that matter most and ask: Is this rule mine, or was it written for me? A good rule is within your control, possible to meet, and clear enough to use when you decide.

Another way

### Let AI interview you

Prefer to talk it through? Paste the included prompt into any AI assistant. It asks one question at a time and helps you rewrite your rules.

In order for me to feel **certain**, \_\_\_\_\_\_ has to happen.

For me to feel like **“wow, life is amazing,”** \_\_\_\_\_\_ has to happen.

“As we start to get clear about these rules, we’re gonna have less influence from the outside world dictating what we should do or shouldn’t do.”

## Write Your Own Rules

Patrick breaks down the rules we live by without realizing it, and how rewriting them changes the decisions we make with money, family, and work.
