"Am so bored of being bored, because bored is soo boring" ---- Anonymous
Bore, boring, feeling bored........
Probably, we might have had heard these words from us and as well as from others.
I have felt bored many times. I did not know what to do. I would go through FB and WhatsApp. What else?
But then I was wondering as days and years passed, What am I getting out of it without doing anything productive?
Am I going to get anything? Probably not!! Then why am I keep doing the same thing over and over again which is not giving me anything....
I came to know that it was our constant HABITS which is responsible for what we are doing.
I read the book The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and it was mind blowing. I could relate to myself why I was doing the same thing without any sense.
And another reason would be the driving force or the trigger and the reward associated with it which compels us to do the work.
Imagine if we have to complete an assignment within a couple of days, there are two kinds of people I can relate to in this scenario. One type, focusing on completing the task, dedicating their time and effort in doing it. Others would postpone in doing the work and have the thought," What is doing to happen if am not doing it now, Let me do it later." Dragging till the end and trying to finish the work at the last moment.
What if $1000 cash would be given for those who completes the assignment!! Everyone might have completed within a day.
Some may think why they have to be conscious in completing the task on time. But the truth is, What we are in one phase of our life(say professional), we will be the same in another phase (say personal), What if I didn't go to the gym today????
And sometimes I had the thought that Every day is some day (say Monday, Tuesday) and it is repeating, It's the same. Week after Week, Month after Month, Year after Year, It's the same. But what really matters is what we are doing each day to make our life more beautiful, more interesting. If we have a dream/aim and when we achieve it, we will have the contentment that we had done something in our life. We would not be regretting that we have not done anything in life.
Our life depends on what we do each day. And when we look back, we will feel that we had written the best page of our life.
