Boredom

Thomas De Quincey call it the formidable curse of life, taedium vitae - the tedium of life. In other words the ordinariness of life, boredom. Boredom is the least tolerable of human states.

The antidote to boredom is not to run from one experience to the next, the antidote to boredom is to be present. To be here, to see the beauty and the vastness of experience within the ordinary.

Look around you, feel your heart in your chest, the air filling your lungs. The most amazing experience that you can ever have is happening to you every moment,

you are alive.

Get skin in the game, be here.

Pierre
