I ’ve stopped looking for the spectacular and realized there are excitement
and anticipation in mundane and monotonous situation as well.
Routine is better. I like to get up in the morning and know what needs to be done.
It would be terribly depressing and unsettling to have no schedules,
no plans, no to-do lists!
The beds would not be made, there would be no food in the refrigerator.
Who would send the kids to school and pick up the laundry?
Consistency is preferred over chaos. Familiarity works well.
Who needs furniture to be moved every day! Controlled freedom is preferred.
Assigned parameters are good as they draw clear boundaries to ensure we don’t
step out of line, yardsticks to measure how far we can go. Who likes to live in a
lawless state? Orderliness is another form of freedom. Consistency works just as
well with creativity and innovation. Discipline may be a word many would avoid as
it denotes certain limitations; out of bounds.
However, who would want to suggest that discipline be removed entirely from homes, schools and government?
Allow for inquisitiveness; reject complacency and false contentment.
Challenge the mind. Doing the ordinary things for extraordinary results.
