Ten Things Everyone Learns in High School # 8


Routines are Important


High school is, among other things, the end of a long road of routine for most people. But many do not realize how the routine has informed and influenced their decisions and their days. Without the routines, they are lost.

Routines are important. Or, another way of putting it, we realize that we need the disciplines necessary to work a job, raise a family, open a savings account, make a car payment, pay a mortgage. Without discipline, none of these are possible to the point of growth, and all things eventually fall apart without them.

We are creatures of habit. But the disciplines we create inspire our work and our paths. Children need disciplines of the parents, too, so that they can learn that they can depend upon the structure and sanctuary of the family.

Many of these lessons we learn in high school, and they can serve us well throughout life. Creating disciplines outside of high school is the key. We have to learn them all over again and create them anew.
