We All Need To Break Routine Every Once In A While.

It won't be easy. It would mean getting out of our comfort zone, trying out new - sometimes scary - things, and possibly failing. But it's better than stagnancy, better than the predictable drone that our existence sometimes turns out to be. And in the end, breaking routine is the only real way to grow.

Work Keeps Us Alive.

Routine can be deadly, though not in an obvious way. It can kill creativity. It can numb the senses. And it can rob our daily existence of its meaning.

So today I welcome the extra work. I welcome the out-of-routine activities. I welcome the rush. I feel alive.
