Every once in a while I feel like I'd like something dramatic to happen. I'd like Jaremy to change jobs, move, start something completely new. But usually when I get this feeling it's because I'm not in the mood to carry on with my top priorities and goals. Sometimes I just need to remember why I set them or spice them up a bit. I could just throw out my to-do list and look for a job for Jaremy in some exciting place and escape into a little dream world. Or I can just get to work on the things that are really important and that will really happen.
Sometimes it's good to drop the to-do list and spend a bit dreaming or weighing options. But this can quickly turn into not doing what needs to be done and wasting time and life. So one has to be careful not to spend much time looking for excitement and dramatic change. Most of the time it is best to stick to the essential goals and really accomplish things in an ordinary, sometimes mundane way. Once you start working diligently enthusiasm comes back into one's soul.
I'm grateful Heavenly Father has helped me recognize my boredom is sometimes laziness and work shirking.
