Someone once said that happiness can be found on the other side of boredom. The idea here is that creativity and engagement are often triggered by being bored. Long car rides and repetitive physical work like painting can eventually open the door to your next great idea or the solution that was hidden. Or kids with nothing to do on a hot summer day until boredom forces everyone to invent a new game. Almost everyone can think back to something boring that turned into something inspirational.
