The other week, I was talking about the ‘Principles Police’, joking that you can’t really do principles wrong – they’re just a description of how something works.
To illustrate this, I took another principle—gravity—and invited you to imagine “doing it wrong” … I mean, it’s just not a thing, is it?
Now, the other rock solid, reliable aspect of principles is that they work 100% of the time, whether you believe in them or not, or you’re thinking about them, or even if you’re completely unaware of their existence – they’re just there and they just work.
1) Constant
2) Explanatory
3) Predictable
You don’t have to get involved and ‘use’ them or anything, you’re just bimbling around in a reality where these principles—like gravity—operate without exception, and because they do, you pretty much completely forget about them, and get on with your life.
(I guarantee that unless your job is an Astro-physicist, you would not have contemplated gravity once today, until I started banging on about it and brought it into your consciousness.)
So, today I’d invite you to consider what would happen if gravity sometimes didn’t work?
How would you behave, if there was an outside chance that at some point during the day, gravity would stop?
