Power Players never say ‘I’m bored’. Why? Because they firmly believe that people say they who are bored, are actually boring themselves.
Power Players are OK with being called a lot of things. But boring isn’t one of them. They’d rather be called a bad out loud word than boring.
This is mainly because Powers Players know that interesting people seek out other interesting people and are magnets for each other.
Power Players procure a decent percentage of their power from coming across as engaging, always fascinating, sometimes enthralling but never boring.
If you find that you are bored, take a lead from Power Players.
Do whatever it takes to make yourself interesting again. Get a new hobby. Read more. Do something a little unhinged: whatever it takes to feel like life isn’t passing you by.
Never be in that mental place where people think you’re boring.
