Dear Max,

We all fall into patterns in life. Every day is more of the same. We fight wanting to wake up some days because we know exactly what will happen, everyday. We don’t always realize it but we are the ones at fault.

We are the ones the eat the same meals every week or go to the same place on Friday night. We are the ones that complete the same tasks and watch the same television programs.

The problem with being this kind of person is we get stuck in our own little worlds and eventually stop learning. When that happens, you are really in a bad spot. American poet and musician Tuli Kupferberg once said:

“When patterns are broken, new worlds can emerge.”

Break the patterns. Learn and explore new worlds. It’s an exciting feeling.

Love,

Daddy
