Our Story: The Golden Rule 2.0

The Golden Rule—to treat others as you wish to be treated—is the highest ethical teaching across every faith and philosophy in human history.

Yet, despite this universal lesson, humanity remains stuck: wars, greed, and lack persist. We continue to exist in a state of chaos because the Golden Rule is broken

Our movement began in 2024, not with the lesson, but with the painful realization of what was missing. Our Founder, Nicole Macklin, created a simple sign promoting love and tolerance during a time of division. That desire quickly evolved into a deeper question: Why does humanity fail to master these universal teachings?

The truth is, the sages of the past didn't understand the missing ingredient: trauma.

Research, science, and technology now confirm that healing the trauma carried from our past is the essential key to modifying behaviors and truly thriving. We have evolved to understand that the Golden Rule 2.0 (Heal Thyself & then Love Thy Neighbor) requires us to heal the inner life first.

Today, Live By The Rule unites individuals and practitioners who are committed to using our simple 4-step RULE Blueprint to end the cycle of hurt and create a world where everyone who chooses can thrive.

Our Mission

Our mission is to end the cycle of hurt by helping people heal the pain they carry. We teach that true peace begins when you have enough self-respect and compassion to be accountable for your past actions. This inner work calms your mind and heart, giving you the strength to offer true unity and honor the Golden Rule with every person, across every background.

 
Our Core Values: The RULE Principles

Our values are the conscious actions required to defeat the Opponent (Ego) and fulfill the Golden Rule 2.0.

• Self-Respect (R: REGULATE): We believe Regulating the nervous system is the first act of self-respect, securing the inner peace required for stable action.
• Accountability (U: UNDERSTAND): We believe Understanding the universal journey gives us the clarity to be accountable for our own reactions, ensuring our Strategic Insight is honest.
• Compassion & Forgiveness (L: LIBERATE): We believe Liberation requires the strength to forgive and achieve The Unburdening, dropping the logs of resentment to make room for unconditional love.
• Unity (E: ENGAGE): We believe Engaging in co-creation across all backgrounds is the ultimate victory, demonstrating the power of the healed collective.
• Agency: We believe every person is the creator and RULER of their own story, holding the power to choose growth and overcome any challenge.
