As we raise our children we teach them to follow the rules and to not go against the rules… To live in a mold. A box. A bubble. This way, not that way.

As an adult, I find myself constantly trying to learn the rules so that I can innovatively break them. Not in a disrespectful way, in a creative positive way.

I look back on the decades of my life… if someone told me “no” or that something can’t be done… work/life/education – I tried my damnedest to prove them wrong. And, I’m proudly still going at it.

So, if you have a loving, positive, stubborn kid… embrace it. They are innocently learning how to make this world a better place.
