the question of the day - or should I say two?

There are several times throughout life when we need to re-evaluate what we are doing. What works for us at 5 years old, doesn't necessarily work when we are older. Such is life and we need to grow intellectually and emotionally (we need to go with the flow). So, to be more successful, we need to pull back and pay more attention to our behaviour. We need to get in touch with our "self" and ask a series of questions. Two questions to begin with are:

1. What is conditioning?

2. Why do we have rules?


Directions: Please take a few minutes and respond to these two questions. Use your own words to answer the questions.
