It
is a mistake to say, as some of us do at times:
"My life is so boring; nothing interesting
ever happens to me!" It probably means
that we are functioning like robots, on automatic
pilot, or going around with our eyes closed.
Our lives are full to the brim with miracles!
How can we say that life is boring?
One of
the major causes of boredom is that we have
been over-stimulated by television and movies
for so long that our senses have almost been
burned-out thereby, and it takes an ever-stronger
dose to interest us. The world-wide phenomenon
of drug-use is just another form of this. And
so we become spaced-out in fantasyland, and
sometimes unable to relate to the ‘real’
world.
If we
wake up with the idea that the day ahead is
going to be ‘just another day’,
our minds will be already programmed, leaving
no room for the unexpected; it is the wrong
way to begin the day.
It is
not as we think, that life is boring, but that
we are bored. Life is always new, and never
repeats itself. Just get your feet on the ground,
become aware of yourself as the living miracle
you are, and of the wonderful world you live
in, and your boredom will soon disappear. |
