A lot of the things we look for are just ways of easing our boredom. We think the restlessness is spiritual, maybe it’s depression, and so we imagine the cure is distraction.
A trip across Country, a new role or hobby, anything– so long as it’s different.
Then when we’re bold enough and act on those impulses, we’re surprised the same feeling of discontent is still there… why?
Because the boredom never came from a need for change but your disengagement.
If I had to put a percentage of how many of these blogs are letters to myself, in hopes that I don’t f**k up my life, I’d say it’s 97%. The rest are helpful/ hopeful fortune cookies.
I say that to say, BUILD where you are! Find ways to engage more.
Boredom is a struggle only because you’re off somewhere else, instead of where you are. I like my life, but it’s missing something important– a deeply help value: Excitement.
You have to find ways to enjoy the every day process– so incorporate small steps. Do anything, it can be small, it should be small.
Just make sure it excites you, even if only a little, it’s crucial for you to cross the finish line.
