Break Your Bad Patterns

Motivational Power Quote

Break Your Bad Patterns

“When patterns are broken new worlds emerge.”

Tuli Kupferberg, author and poet

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Break your bad patterns.

Patterns are our habits and they have been formed over time until they become comfortable. Habits are not always productive, they’re comfortable and we default to those patterns because of the comfort and they are easy to do.

When we break old patterns a new world emerges as we venture away from our comfort zone. We discover a world that we never knew and we find we’re capable of doing things we never did before.

In the world of change we find unlimited opportunity and it all started when we broke old unproductive patterns and replaced them with a new pattern.

Wisdom is not something that we receive, wisdom is the knowledge and insight that we discover in our life’s journey that only we can take.


We gain our wisdom as we travel life’s roads with and open mind and the willingness to take our experiences and learn and prosper from them.


The road to wisdom is a journey that we have to take ourselves; no one can take that journey for us. Our wisdom will be developed as a result of the learning experiences on that journey.
