“In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted”
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, it’s good to stop and think about the things you’ve always believed or assumed to be true. Just because something has always been a certain way doesn’t mean it’s the best way or even right. For example, if you’ve always thought that breakfast has to be eaten early in the morning, you might never question why. But trying different routines, like having a later breakfast or fasting in the morning, could actually make you feel better or work better for your schedule. By questioning long-held beliefs, you can discover new, possibly better ways of doing things. This can lead to personal growth, better decisions, and a more open mind.
