Greatness and the status quo

If every morning you make a cup of “English Breakfast” add a touch of sugar and a dash of milk you are quite content and set for the morning. The only problem is this sets you on a preset pattern for your day. Wrong you say? Break your normal pattern, disrupt your morning routine, and see if I am wrong.

Greatness generally arises not from necessity but from effort mixed with a little ingenuity. The thought is that our status quo reduces the effort with ingenuity. Out effort is still present but it is set in a set pattern. Ingenuity is the key, the trick that causes us to act in a different pattern.

So the answer is to break all your patterns and disrupt your life. No. The idea is to recognize that what you are doing is going to accomplish what you are currently accomplishing. What do you believe is greatness? What do you want to accomplish? What pattern should you modify in order to reach that goal? Ingenuity is taking the time to find the answers to these questions.
