On being governed by 'norms' in your thinking

There are well known philosophical puzzles about normativity, and these apply to logic as well if it is normative. 
One is why it is that thinkers are under such rubric like norms. 
After all, why shouldn't I think the way I prefer to think, without there being some norm that governs my thinking, whether I like it or not? 
Why is there an “ought” that comes with thinking as such, even if I don't want to think that way


The idea that belief as such aims at something: the truth. If so then maybe one could argue that by having beliefs I am under the norm that I ought to have true ones.
