Probably as a kid, you love anything but boring. You just do not see any value in it. Boring foods, boring places, boring people, why having to deal with these? Can’t life just be a combo of fun stuff only?
Why? Because when we are little, the world is ours, it is unlimited to what happens to us, therefore, boring is not accepted. Our job as a kid is to play and explore, no responsibilities to take, no decisions to make. It makes sense that if we play, we should demand for fun.
However, growing up to be an adult, experiencing more, having been through more, we learn to seek value from the boring. Perhaps, boring or fun does not matter. Without fears, we should let life unfold for us, both happiness and sorrow. And the key is to hold strong on ourselves, to get through all of those. Separating the fun out of the not-fun ones, we are accidentally eliminating meanings out of things.
To learn and move fluidly in life, approaching it with an open heart and an open mind will help us much more. We are neither victims nor controllers of our lives. This life is given to us and our job is to live it well, no matter where we are and what we do. Whether it is a success or a failure, it is just a step in our journey. Whether it is a lovely person or a bad guy, that person is just passing by our lives, although it is our decision to keep him or her to stay.
All in all, we need an intention to live and to make the best out of everything. The good intention will guide us in the direction we desire. And from there, just let and see things happen, we will know what to do next. One step at a time, we are just walking, so make sure you enjoy the views, and beware of the weather.
Hope you have a good time in your life journey!
