Society today is full of opportunities, through technology and new technological possibilities, we can almost do whatever we want and where we want. Our homes are filled with the worldly richness, we strive to create new challenges with our careers’ and we are renovating our home to create a better everyday life.
I have met many people who according to the way the world see it; they have absolute best opportunity to live a life full of joy peace, love, etc. But for some strange reason, I see something, which seems to have find a way into many relationships and families, something called boredom.
I do not think that the opposite of happiness is unhappiness, but the opposite is boredom. It is when we, despite our circumstances, live a life full of joy, adventure, love and challenges, we are happy. When these parts are missing, we are often bored. According to an article from the New York Times, The new wealth of Russian women is the main cause for depression and boredom.
In our individual attempt to follow the truths of this society by trying to provide ourselves with the right things, go to the right places. We rather jump ourselves into a mind-set that on paper should give us all we miss, but it leads us only to a great boredom. Over the years a clear picture has emerged, couples that are in crisis often express themselves: we do not have fun anymore; I wish our lives were more adventurous. They feel his / her work gets all attention etc. etc. In their striving to create a good living by material and financially ways they have forgotten to create an exciting fun and adventurous day
According to many studies, boredom is one of the main reasons for infidelity, divorce, abuse of alcohol and drugs.
The word does not exist! Family & Friends inspiration to life is the Bible, we believe in a God who wants us to live life to the fullest, and we find the answer how to the Bible. The word boredom does not exist in Bible. The word is not even an old word. It comes about 1890. That the word does not exist in the Bible only means that it should not even be in our lives. But the idea of life is that we were created to live a life full of joy and love.
So how do we do?
To cure boredom can be challenging, the first step is to admit to yourself and each other that one has ended up in boredom. Then together, make up your mind for now is the time to leave everyday boredom. Maybe remind each other what you appreciated in your life when you met, can be anything from hiking, sailing, playing board games, invite friends home for a Tuesday tea, the list goes on and on. We can take down the sky promises ourselves already today, by trying to shift our focus from what is not creating life to what does. Start talks new hope and new life over yourself and family.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, well, life in abundance john 10:10
