One thing I'm definitely guilty of is enjoying the security of routine.

I like to eat at specific times, work until a specified hour, watch the same shows. It's comforting, yet I realize that deviating from a routine can be quite rewarding. Trying new things can be intellectually and emotionally stimulating, it simply requires taking a leap.

The fear of having a secure routine disrupted is a waste of energy; I'm trying to learn to be more impulsive, but I must admit it's a daunting challenge. Fact is, I'm tremendously happy with my life: I'm blessed with an interesting career choice, a wonderful wife, and terrific kids. My routine fits me well, and isn't crippling or resulting in any feelings of unhappiness.
