Sometimes life gets monotonous. We find ourselves stuck in routines, performing the same actions and expecting different results. Boredom is not just a state of mind; It's a sign that novelty and adventure in your life have gone 'bye-bye'.
Did you make yourself the same cup of coffee this morning? Eat the same ol' bowl of Fruit Loops? Is the butt imprint in your Lazy-Boy Rocker getting deeper?
How about your commute? Are you driving your old Buick to work everyday in the same never-ending stop 'n go traffic? Challenge yourself to explore the side roads! Take the scenic route! You might even discover some hidden gems, like that mom-and-pop diner with the world's best pancakes or a perfect spot to decompress after a long day.
When is the last time you did something for the first time?
Are you bored?
Boredom is a call to action, urging you to step out of your comfort zone and experience the world in new ways.
If you’re reading this and nodding along, then it’s time to shake things up! It means you’re ready for change. Seek new adventures!
My new adventure started when I began writing a weekly inspirational blog two years ago, for no other reason than to encourage others and maybe share a laugh with my friends. It takes a lot time, but it keeps me connected. And I'm certainly not bored! Like Moses, I started out in the wilderness at 80! But the payoff to me has been a wonderful reminder of those things that my many mentors have taught me over the years.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, and
the only way to eliminate boredom is to keep pushing your boundaries.
