The "Rule" of Three

The rule of three says that it's not necessarily the first connection that will make a difference for you - and not even the next, but the next connection after that one that will impact you. 
While I have found great connections "after the after the.." I've also found great connections after connecting with people. So I take issue with that "rule."
Also, how many "rules" are we taught that turn out to be false, harmful, or just plain dumb? All those suggestions and comments from people, the media, teachers, etc. that turned out to be untrue, hurtful and/or harmful and might have been said to influence or persuade you against your best interests. We do need to learn to use our intuition more effectively. 
I used to love reading tarot cards. I am still interested by the political tarot readers on YouTube (they've kept me sane since Nov 6th) but I know that I will never be comfortable reading tarot for myself because I take suggestions to heart.
Writing prompt: Observe "rules" that you follow that may not be in your best interest, or even downright false. 
Writing prompt: How about some new "rules" that will support you?
Today I am grateful for understanding that there is a "big picture"
Today I can give from my heart the knowing and trusting that there is a "big picture" for others
