The Power Of Creating Bright Lines In Your Life
The vast majority of people seem to struggle with taking control of their behavior within their lives. They succumb to self-sabotage too often and feel a sense of hopelessness as a result.

Bright Line Rule: A bright-line rule is a clearly defined rule or standard, composed of objective factors, which leaves little or no room for varying interpretation.

There is no room for confusion or interpretation which is where many people trip up.
