Do you rule your life or does your life rule you

I think my life rules me everything is changing all the time but not anymore i am going to put my foot down and start living my life the way i want to. I really am going to start watching what i am doing and starting to enjoy my life to the fulliest.

To be honest I am not sure at times I think most of the time my revolves around the same thing As for for being governed no I do what I want to do and I say what I want to say no one tells me anything to do or say and I am not influenzed either by anything like that

I do change as per the enviornment. But i make my own statments. I take up others advice also. But at the end of teh day i do what my conscious permits me for the right.

I live within a moral context, which does not change. My morals are my values and my beliefs, which may evolve, but do not change daily by chance circumstances affected by others. So, while my routine changes my rule of my life does not change. Truely, the only way we can rule our own life (because we cannot rule outside influences), is to rule our conscious thought and emotion and behavior.

I think that life rules me. I do the same thing everyday to avoid any complications, or my fear, running out of time to get things done. My family and I are involved in many things threw the school and the community, so it is hard to just sit back and say today, I am going to just sit and do nothing.If I did, the nextday would be twice as busy. I do not worry about setting an example, or making a statement to anyone, but my kids. I would like them go get things done, and not be procrastinators, which is why I think we are always so busy!! :)

No 2 days are the same. But my life does revolve around family,home and work. I believe in GOD, and I'm glad I do. At least I have a special place to go and rest my wary soul after a busy day.

this is one of rules " Instead of giving miself reasons wht I can't, I give miself reasons why I can.

I think I rule my own life, I am definitely in charge of it. I am not into religion or one particular party of Politics, I am a free spirit... Hey thats some cool little dude in your avatar..is that you....:)

I'm afraid I am a slave to routine, I need a routine to help me function in life. I make a list of things I have to do each day and make sure by the time I go to bed that everything has been crossed off what can be crossed off. I am not, however, governed by religion, because I'm not interested in religion, and I'm not religious. Currently I am out of work, so my day consists of getting up at 10, breakfast, go to the gym, watch tv, housework, computer, bed at 1, so I can get my 9 hours sleep. Sometimes I feel that I have no aims in my life that I'm a drifter. I prefer to be a free spirit in life. Life is far too serious. Interesting topic for discussion!

i rule ove my life the decisions that i take are mostl mine and i cannot say thats the way i am supposed to live but thats the way i choose to live..

With my job and the farm ... would have to say that my life rules me .... there is no option. My boss tells me where to take a load ... what time to be there and where to go to collect return load .... so life rules me there. At home on the farm .... seedlings have to be planted and watered ....... then watered and weeded as they grow .... then when they are ready they have to be picked. So my life is ruled by nature .... what she has ready I have to pick and pack to sell. Religion is important .... but that is my belief and I follow the teachings of my religion. Politics is different .... would say they should all be hung .... politicians that is because they are a pretty useless bunch of overpaid idiots. I say we do what we have to do ..... to make a living and to survive in this harsh world.

i think my life rules me, because i do everything for everyone else in my family and i let the cleaning and the money stress me out and can never really relax untill all bills are paid and the house is clean and laundry is done, and then even then i am still stressing about something.

After reading your question, I just noticed that life rules me. I do things because I have to and I need to :). Maybe its time to rest a little while and do things I have to do for myself rather than racing with time. Sometimes I cecome soooo busy that I just don't know what to do anymore. LOL

I rule my life... THis is necessary to lead a happy , peaceful and enjoyable life... Hope our life is full of flying colours.. hey!! i like this discussion

I rule my life, within the bounds that we have to live with that is. I am retired, so am not a slave to time in that regard, although of course if we have an appointment we do have to arrive on time. However, at the same time we are the ones who choose the day and time of those appointments which means we are ruling our life in that regard. Religion is a bit difficult because I am a practicing Christian, so that does impact on my life to a certain extent in that I use my Christian beliefs in my every day life, so certainly they do have an impact. Politics, or the politicians who make the laws, also govern our lives to a certain extent. We can of course choose to live outside of the laws that politicians make, but then that would put me in conflict with my religious beliefs. So I would say that for those who live within the law, that politics does impact on their life in the same way as it does for those who put their religious beliefs into daily use.

life rules me.i know its very sad,but thats the truth.

I am the who has my own rules, no matter what people think or say. They are just outsiders, never happened that i did according to people thought around me. I wanted to complete my engineering, i did it. No one in my family interferes in my life or decisions, some times we have to listen their thoughts too. As they are our elders. But as far as life is concerned, i am my king. Religion is nothing more than a myth for me, i am happy to say hello from distance to such people who are willing to die for their religion.

its not possible for me to say whether im living my life by my own rules or not because that changes on a daily basis. today i might be doing something just to please myself but tomorrow i might do it for somebody else..and since its i who changes n makes the rules, i cant say whether i live by them or not

LIFE RULES ME ITS PASSING AND I AM DOING NOTHING JUST LET MY LIFE DO WHAT IT WANT AND WHERE IT GOES
