Bored? Good. You're Closer Than You Think.

May 14, 2025

"Bored? Good. You're Closer Than You Think."

There’s a part of every journey that no one celebrates on Instagram. It’s not the exciting beginning when the idea strikes, and it’s not the thrilling finish when the dream becomes reality. It’s the middle—the messy, mundane, sometimes soul-numbing middle. The part where it all starts to feel… boring.

But what if boredom wasn’t the enemy?

What if it was the very evidence that you're on the right track?

In Atomic Habits, James Clear says, “Boredom is perhaps the greatest villain on the quest for self-improvement.

Why?

Because boredom shows up just after the newness wears off and just before the breakthrough kicks in. That means it’s the hinge point—the test—between average and extraordinary.

In the book, a coach was asked what separates elite performers from everyone else. His response? “At some point it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day, doing the same lifts over and over again.”

That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. It reminded me that the greatest danger to our success isn’t failure—it’s giving up when things stop feeling exciting.


Let’s face it—most people jump ship when the buzz wears off:

  • The new workout is no longer “fun”

  • The new job feels repetitive

  • The new idea isn't producing fast results

So they pivot, change strategies, and chase novelty. But the truth is: The old plan was probably still working—they just got bored.

But if anything is possible, then we have to embrace everything the journey requires. Including boredom.

Because boredom is not a problem. It's a passage.

It's proof that you’re consistent.
It’s evidence you’re not chasing distractions.
It’s a sign you’re maturing.

Here’s your breakthrough perspective: Boredom is where mastery is born.

Want to see real results? Learn to show up when it's not exciting. Push through when it feels slow. Stay the course when everything in you wants to change direction.

You’re not stuck—you’re growing.

The "messy middle" is your proving ground. It's where faith is refined. It's where grit is built. It's where most people quit… but you won’t.

Why?

Because you’re not most people. You’re made for more.

So here’s the challenge: Don’t run from boredom. Reframe it. Welcome it. Let it be a sign that you’re almost there.

And if you're in that middle zone right now—let’s talk.
