You’re a Cliche

I’m sorry. So am I.

I’m one of the hapless new homeowners from the Dr. Rick commercials who is “turning into my parents.” Defense does win championships. Proper tool selection helps. I like to be at the airport early.

I’m ok with it. Most times. I just hope the way my youngest son laughs at me is some form of love.

I’ve just spent a few days vacationing in a planned community near the coast. This place is so full of clichés, you could make a game out of it. Point randomly and guess the back story. You’d probably be pretty close.

We’re all a cliché in some way or another. When others describe you, they use it. Even if they say “unique,” that’s a cliché.

You change it, of course.

Start a new practice. Change a current one. Take a different road. Do the hard thing. Make a plan. Change the plan. Go the other way. Do more. Do less.

However, rather than fighting a cliché, fight the cliché.

The one you don’t want to be.
