Is boredom steering your ship, or is love?

Love is never bored.
Boredom comes from your not being fully congruent, with the love, in the moment, of that love, in you.
Truth sits in you actively alive, only while love keeps you open to it.
Congruence is an alliance between truth and love, joining the two together.
Why am I sometimes so bored and fed up with my life?
The levity of life depends on 3 factors.
The love you have for life, the belief you have in God, and thirdly, the emptiness that you live from of all of your past programmed responses, and addictive thinking patterns.
These all hold you down (i.e lack of love, lack of a true belief in God, and being full of your past responses, and thinking habits) until you raise yourself above them, by your simply lifting yourself above them, with God's help, through prayer.
Pray long and hard, and levitate yourself to God, above all of this worldly stuff, and its heaviness in you, weighing you down enough, to allow you to feel, both boredom, and malaise.

The journey goes on whether you are steering it along, or not.
Let love guide you through truth's waters.

Neither of those steer my ship. It should be love I realize that, but survival is number one here. Just my human nature I guess.

@Shiva49 True enough Shiva. It is harsh at times.

To me, survival is a form of boredom.
To just survive, is boring for me, to have to do all of the things necessary to survive.
If I didn't have a higher calling, and connection to something greater than my just surviving from day to day here, I would have no interest, in my living a life here, based only on survival, and survival of the fittest.
That I feel connected to something like love, and to God, and to something greater than just myself, lifts me up, and out, from this boring survivalist mentality, which I admit, is needed at times, of course, but, it always remains boring for me, just the same.

Yee, as long as there remains an ebb and a flow, things are not too bad.

For me, every day is full of life with all its challenges.
We are dealt some cards and we have to do our best with an outlook life is more of service to others.
It is self service but we have to set our own limits so that we don't deny others their due.
I have our creator in view and try to pick his brain! That is possible only through love for all and counting the endless blessings. We have a splendid ride here though the few are out to sow discord.
The path is always clear. We find our true self and potential though overcoming the challenges: "To blossom, the lotus flower must grow through mud and dirty pond water" - siva .

Perhaps, some do see some experiences as being challenges, or as us going through, or living in muddy waters.
Is this really so, though?
Most everybody tells us this, that we need hardship.
It is our best friend; we need to be pruned; placed in a fire, to fire up; we grow, from living in the mud.
None of this seems really true, or necessary to me, though.
Love, itself, is not muddy, needing to be fashioned by fire, or pruning into anything else, than itself, why would we need to be so, then?
Why is love perfect, yet we seemingly are needed to be shaped into shape by love?
God is God. You are you. The rest is the rest. Experiences are experiences.
The rest is mind fodder.
We can call it what we will, firing in the kiln, hard experiences, living in mud.
It is all just love, fashioning itself through differently structured avenues, outlets, facets of itself.

@Shiva49 The main trouble is that we will live in these dirty waters with mud all around, hoping to blossom in the future, at some time, or another, but the truth is that we will never blossom.
We never have so far, so I do not see it happening soon.
Perhaps, we are not meant to blossom.
It's like the horse chasing the carrot, held out in the front of it on a stick; he never reaches it.

@innertalks A life of renunciation fits a life of love like a glove! However, a family person has to live a life of some material possessions. He/she needs stability.
I have been able to face setbacks with a take they are part and parcel of life; it is there for us to enjoy the good times more and to feel blessed. If some are in dire need of basics, it is not easy for them to have a philosophical view. They are real challenges to overcome to reach a safe shore. Now the world is fighting tooth and nail to nail a virus and that is a challenge for us to overcome.
Maybe, we are now like the lotus flower "To blossom, the lotus flower must grow through mud and dirty pond water". We could have invited this misfortune ourselves - siva
