Earlier today, I was having a conversation with the Mr. He was telling me that his former boss used to blame all of the company issues on "Murphy's Law. My response was to expose him to Peter's Laws (The Creed of the Sociopathic Obsessive Compulsive). They say that inspiration comes from all types of unexpected places and so as I scanned the 19 laws, I realized that a lot of these laws are very applicable to goals and goal setting. Not all of them in a literal sense, but it does at least give you are starting place when things being to go awry. Instead of saying, it just wasn't meant to be, Peter's Laws pretty much say, where there is a will, there is a way. I have provided the laws below for your reading pleasure, and made bold the ones that I think apply to the essence of empowerment. Please feel free to comment below about your favorite law, or if you feel like these laws can even be applicable to motivation, goals, or inspiration. Happy reading Ladies!
Peter's Laws
(The Creed of the Sociopathic Obsessive Compulsive)

2.When given a choice, take both.
3.Multiple projects lead to multiple successes.
4.Start at the top and work your way up.

7.If you can't beat them, join them, and then beat them.
8.If it's worth doing, it's got to be done now!

10.If you can't change the rules, then ignore them.
11.Perfection is not optional.
12.When faced without a challenge, make one.
13."No" simply means begin again at one level higher.
14.Don't walk when you can run.
15.Bureaucracy is a challenge to be conquered with a righteous attitude, a tolerance for stupidity, and a bulldozer when necessary.

17.Patience is a virtue, but persistence to the point of success is a blessing.
18.The squeaky wheel gets replaced.
19.The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live!
