Ketchup

Add Ketchup to your Cereal (AKA: Obliterate Supposed-to in your life)

“Daddy, can I add ketchup to my cereal”?

That’s the question I was confronted with when my little boy had his breakfast today.

I was going to reply with “no, we are not supposed to add ketchup to our cereal, that’s a yucky combination”.

And then I paused. Who the fuck decided that ketchup should not be added to cereal?

With a smile I replied “sure, go ahead”.

He then finished his entire bowl of ketchup-cereal with great joy.

We are limited by a set of behaviors that, in our mind, we are supposed to follow. One essential ingredient in your growth journey is breaking that pattern while finding new ways to express yourself.
