17, 18, 19, Routine

I don't know if your life is anything like mine, but I bet it is. It seems like I do the same things over and over. I eat the same things, watch the same things on t.v., go to the same website. Even church is routine. We have the same order of service, sing the same songs.

Routine is enough to make anyone go crazy! Now some routine is good I will say, like brushing your teeth before bed and paying your taxes.

There is more to life than routine though. We need to bust out with something random! Something that catches us off guard, and dare I say it, something that makes us uncomfortable! Maybe even brings a cold sweat.

We have hearts, it's what pumps our blood, it keeps life going, but we've been doing the same things over and over that our heart is just numb, beating the same amount each day. Not any faster or any slower.

We need to spike that heart rate! We need to live! We need to punch our routines in the face and bust out something random! I don't know what that random thing can be, hey it can be anything! Just do something different! Catch yourself off guard! We need new ideas, a fresh ways to look at the world around us, and that is only going to happen if we step outside of our cookie cutter, routine existence and really live!!!

Your challenge is to do something you normally wouldn't do everyday for a week, or maybe a month! Heck you might like it so much that you make it an everyday thing! But whatever you do, just break free.

"Randomness is the spice of life."

Yeah I quoted myself, it's a great quote that I try to live my life by. I came up with it.
What are you going to come up with?
