A bored mind can be the canvas upon which innovation is painted, and the womb in which novelty is nourished. The human mind thrives on novelty. What was once a source of
pleasure can become tedious after a time. Though our lives are full, boredom
lurks around every corner because we innately long for new experiences. Yet
boredom by its very nature is passive. In this idle state of mind, we may
feel frustrated at our inability to channel our mental energy into productive
or engaging tasks. We may even attempt to lose ourselves in purposeless or
self-destructive pursuits. While this can be a sign of depression, it can
also be an invitation issued from your mind, asking you to challenge
yourself. Boredom can become the motivation that drives you to learn, explore
the exotic, experiment, and harness the boundless creative energy within. When we are troubled by boredom, it is not that there is nothing to do but
rather that we are not stimulated by the options before us. A bored mind can
be the canvas upon which innovation is painted and the womb in which novelty
is nourished. When you identify boredom as a signal that you need to test
your boundaries, it can be the force that presses you to strive for
opportunities you thought were beyond your reach and to indulge your desire
for adventure.
