I was in the middle of reading an email from @jennakutcher, somewhere in there she says “Are you wondering what really does set you apart? Or maybe you’re just feeling like you’re the most boring human on planet earth and everyone else has cracked the code on being different!
How did she know 😳??!!
I received another email. It was from a friend sharing that they saw I was the featured designer on a blog post. If that happened then someone finds me interesting afterall.
We are so much more than we think. My fear of the word “boring” stems from not exploring what I already have. Once upon a time I thought “Now that I’m a parent the focus isn’t on me anymore. No need to do more with my own life.” Boy! was I wrong… “BECAUSE I’m a parent means I should excel to BE more.” We don’t become side notes in our children’s lives. They are looking at us to show them the way. – there’s so much to learn. No time to be bored. 😓. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about busywork but the art of finding joy all around.
I ask my kids to figure things out before using this cursed word. They don’t need to even get busy …they can just… “BE”. Sit there, be still, meditate, contemplate but don’t allow boredom to distort the reality that there’s so much more to YOU!
We have this in common, Ate Len! How can anyone ever be bored? So much to learn, to do, to experience.. And yet, so much enjoyment in stillness and quiet moments.
You have that adventurous heart Tina! Reminds me of a quote from Helen Keller
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”
