I never get tired of fresh air. I walk down the street after being confined in the office and guess what; the air has that miraculous effect on me. It makes me feel alive, yes, alive, that is the word I am looking for. Life, it’s difficult to describe but it has an intoxicating freshness and I never get tired of it.
Gone are the theories that I need to try something new every day, That there must be a never ending quest for originality to live a meaningful and enjoyable life.
I must look for inspiration every day. I must experience life with a new depth every day, but the foundation of life, the air, the water, never change. It should be experienced every day as it were the first time.
When the Jewish people came to the Sinai desert, the Torah describes that event in these words: “on this day they came to the Sinai Desert”. Rashi comments that the words “this day” in the present tense, teach us that every day the words of torah must be as a new experience as if we are hearing these words for the first time.

The implication of this means. If Judaism is only about the inspiration or the excitement or the love of it, then your likely to get burned out. If it's your life, if it's like the bread you eat not the ice cream you enjoy, then you can never get tired of it.
Practically speaking though, doing the same thing over and over, when it isn't physical bread, it seems distant.
