What To Do If You're In A Rut - Nothing? I live by a mantra that says - "Almost everything in day-to-day life should be routine. Consistent. Predictable. Between the lines. Boring. But, occasionally, it's good to get out of the box, a little on edge, a bit scared, and excited." The truth is, you need both. There is also another truth. Most things that make you happy and successful are pretty mundane — taking care of your home, paying bills on time, spending time with family. Consistent routines focused on what's important are how you achieve success.  Have fun and stick to what feels comfortable is working for you.
