At some point, everyone faces the same challenge on the journey of self-improvement: you have to fall in love with boredom. We all have goals that we would like to achieve and dreams that we would like to fulfill, but it doesn’t matter what you are trying to become better at, if you only do the work when it’s convenient or exciting, then you’ll never be consistent enough to achieve remarkable results.

If you're bored with life, if you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things, you don't have enough goals.

If you are bored with life, if you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things — you don’t have enough goals.

If you're bored, create something.

Anything.

Software. Designs. Photos. Videos. Writing. A business. A body. A relationship. A mind.

How can you not be excited to wake up when you have the ability to create.

Find something you would die for and live for it.

Following this passion is how you create a world worth living, a life that wakes you up in the morning and gets you excited.

It is not a question of money, power, and prestige; it is a question of what intrinsically you want to do. Do it, irrespective of the results, and your boredom will disappear. You must be following others’ ideas, you must be doing things in a “right” way, you must be doing things as they should be done. These are the foundation stones of boredom. The whole of humanity is bored

In order to live free and happily, you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice

At some point, everyone faces the same challenge on the journey of self-improvement: you have to fall in love with boredom.

Whatever work you undertake to do in your lifetime, it is very important that first you have a passion for it — you know, get excited about it — and second, that you have fun with it. That's important. Otherwise, you see, your work becomes nothing but an idle chore. Then, you hate the life you live.

It is not a question of money, power, and prestige; it is a question of what intrinsically you want to do. Do it, irrespective of the results, and your boredom will disappear.

Find something you would die for and live for it.

You can be bored with anything if you try hard enough.

In order to live free and happily, you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy choice.

To be like other people is the real condition of happiness. Sea air and diversions are producing this miraculous effect upon me. What you need is just the contrary. You are dying of boredom from what most mortals regard as bliss – having nothing to do. You need the treatment opposite to mine; I am not joking in the very least: one has to be compelled to some task, driven to it: anyone who is not a drunken brute must achieve boredom at all costs unless he can discover the secret of a taste for amusements.. .These reflections.. ..are not likely to comfort you, but they will change your frame of mind for a few minutes. I shall probably be back in Paris on Thursday...
