Have you ever suffered from boredom?
What would your life look like if you continued on the same path as you are on now for the next 5, 10, 15 years?
When you are wanting to change your life, lets look at what you are currently doing and how you are doing it.
When you were a child, you had wild dreams... to be a ballerina, to be an astronaut.
Everyone gets excited about your dreams. But when you start getting older, people will then say, be an attorney, be a doctor.
Taking into account that so many people change careers that they have studies for there is evidence that there is a lot of boredom.
There is a vacuum in all of us that comes from boredom. We get married, have children and programme our children to have similar lives to us. Then we buy stuff to keep our kids entertained, so that we can get a mental break.
We accumulate more things that will fill the void. A better television, better shoes, a latest model of car.
But these things do not fill us as human beings.
What memories are we creating with our families?
What quality of life are you living?
In the book that I am currently reading, The 4-Hour Work Week, one of the key concepts covered is what he calls ADD: Adult Deficit Disorder.
Have a look at your life and your family's lives. Are you actually bored? If that boredom continues, what would your life look like?
When I was a scholar I noticed that the kids who were bored, got up to the most mischief.
