Dear Humans,

We don’t have assigned hooks for backpacks and coats, but I think most of you have assigned yourself a spot and hang your backpack there every day. 

I have a closet full of shirts and ties that I could turn into a thousand different outfits, but I have rules about what colors and patterns match. That way I actually get dressed instead of just standing in my closet all day.

A big part of making choices is making our own rules that limit those choices. Otherwise, this wide world can just be too overwhelming. And the rules we make for ourselves also reflect the kind of person we want to be. And then we spend the rest of our life becoming that person–one self-regulated choice at a time.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
