Who loves rules? Loves to break them? Has mixed feelings?
I’m
in the “mixed feelings” camp. I love to know what the rules are. I like
to have a rubric so I can check off boxes and know how much
of a good girl I’m being or not being (and you know I desperately want
to be a perfect good girl).
But
once I’ve got the rules or the rubric I have a tendency to edit it.
I’ll compare what’s on the rubric with my personal values and
toss things out the window. Things like…process.
Hear
me out! I love to do things right. If you want me to draw you a flower,
then I want to give you a perfect flower. But if you want
me to draw you a flower by first drawing the stem, then the leaves, and
then the petals I might give you the stink eye. Or I might nod politely
and as soon as you leave I’ll draw the flower in whatever order I see
fit – as long as I think my way is more likely
to get me to the goal of creating a perfect flower better than yours.
What a rebel!
Now I don’t mean to
be rude. And I’m not convinced that I know best in every situation.
There are times I’m perfectly happy to follow direction and do things
exactly how I’m told. And then there
are times when the process just needs a little bit of tweaking
and it could be so much more efficient. Or when the process was designed
for someone else and I know if I could be so much more successful if I
could do things my way.
I have always been a rule breaker. I don't know why but I like doing my own thing and I have a problem doing what I'm "suppose" to do. If I do something it's because I want to do it or it's in the best interest of my family, not because someone set the rules so that's how it has to be. Lol, i've always been this way and I kinda like it. :)
