i want to talk about a mistake i made in my life mainly about 2 yrs ago
the mistake i made was calling peace boredom... not so much with my mouth, but in my heart my life 2 yrs ago was going really well and i found myself in a place where i didn't really have any issues.. i had just gotten a new car, i had a 4.0 gpa in grad school.. i had no financial issues whatsoever.. i mean literally i was good a wise person would recognize that as a time of peace and blessings and they would just appreciate it and build on it or find something fun to do in that time of relaxation and normalcy but what i did in my heart was i basically said "wow everything's in order, this is boring" again- i want to make it clear that this was not conscious on my part.. it was just a subtle belief/approach i had deep down that i didn't realize.. but looking back i can see now that that was one place where i went wrong because of this "boredom" i got on a dating site against better judgment and that was how i met my ex who put me through awful torment for months if you find yourself in a place where you feel "bored" or you feel like there's nothing going on, or you feel like you want excitement, or whatever- my advice is take a step back.. take a breath.. realize there are worse things than "boredom" such as chaos, unrest, lack of peace, dealing with bad decisions, regret, etc really sit back and realize that.... and then once you've marinated on it then ask yourself.. am i full of discontentment at a time when i should be content? chances are you may lean toward "yes" ...since that is now established and you've calmed back down.. decipher between positive and negative steps to alleviate yourself of your boredom/discontentment positive steps are like: -go to an event -do a creative thing -call an old friend and see if they want to meet up -use your free time to pray negative steps are like: -run with your old group of friends who you already deemed to be a bad influence -go have a sex fling with someone -start drinking -try to start a relationship (without God's leading) so i hope this helps someone.. if u get "bored" in life try not to look at it as boredom... instead try to view it as peace, normalcy, and stability if you view it only as boredom you are likely taking a positive thing for granted and setting yourself up to make a bad decision look at the difference in mindset: "i'm bored i never get to do anything fun, man screw this i'm about to......" "i'm in a really stable and peaceful place, and i have a lot of time to myself, what's something i can do with this free time?" as you can see.. these are totally different mindsets and one is leading to a positive outcome while the other is leading to a negative one so don't insult your quiet life.. maybe those "boring" moments could be used to write a book that could one day become a best seller.. who knows approach the mundane with gratitude... remember the alternative is almost certainly worse
