It can be hard out here.
Some of you are battling insecurities, imposter syndrome, mental illnesses, spouses, internal conflicts, REAL problems…. but me?
Boredom.
Before you write this off as nothing (even though it is) understand our recurring battles are serious for each of us.
No matter what I do, I’m bored with it shortly after. I won’t say this applies to everything, because there are things that keep me generally engaged– such as muay thai……. and so far, just that.
I create a lot of problems trying to solve for boredom, but what I’ve learned is sometimes life is supposed to be boring.
The gardening phase, as my friend called it.
I hate plants.
Anyways, If you and I share the enemy of my enemy… whatever that bullshit quote is, if you struggle with boredom– you need to LEAN IN more.
I know, counterintuitive.
But you and I, we can’t keep chasing rainbows, otherwise we’ll always be broke looking for someone else’s pot of gold.
Why are we bored?
Because we’re smart motherf**kers. Well, I’d like to think so.
We’re bored because we’re not challenged, and we’re not challenged because we’re practicing mental infidelity.
Like when your buddy’s strict wife says its cheating to have thoughts of another woman. I’m always having thoughts of a more exciting life.
So the key here, inject fun into where you are now.
This is what I’m practicing.
No more running around– I’m here.
How can I make the most of this marriage, so to speak?
I’ll let you know.
