Embrace the Boredom

We have become a society that thinks boredom is a bad thing.

We feel the first twinges of boredom and we reach for the smartphone or turn on the TV or music.

The thing is, boredom always comes before a period of great creativity. In the un-comfortableness of boredom, creativity whispers.

With all of the quick fix distractions we instantly reach for, we drown out that whisper.

Learn to embrace the boredom and listen for that gentle whisper. The more you listen, the louder it will get.
