Lately, I have heard so many people complaining of boredom. It particularly bugs me when my kids complain about being bored. I love to remind them that only boring people get bored. However, my brilliant Mother-in-Law reminds me to look at things differently. Last week, she and I were having a conversation about failure and disappointment. I was feeling uninspired and bored in my own life (must have been PMS.) She patiently listened to my complaints and feelings with a poker face. My Mother-in-Law has the remarkable ability of not sugar coating reality. For example, the other day I had done a TV spot. She called to congratulate me but then proceeded to add that I looked terrible. When I asked her advice about feeling bored, she explained to me that boredom is anger without energy. I was stunned and am still mulling it over. What are your thoughts about boredom in life?

never, ever, ever, said you looked “terrible.” You couldn’t possibly.
your motherinlaw is the smartest person I know and I happy to say it runs in her family
