It can all stink until you make it better. You've got to happen to life instead of letting it happen to you. Learn the art of happiness, to appreciate what you've got instead of expecting it to weirdly be somehow more than or different from what it is. And find an interest. Nobody can be happy just buying stuff, watching t.v., eating and sleeping. Like history? Become more than curious -- go for competence. Like martial arts? Go for more than fitness, try mastery. Think your family is okay? Don't just keep a roof over their head, be the dad you wish you'd had and the husband you hope or wish your mother had. Have a goal that engages your maximum effort and would result in improving you and making you a more interesting or better person, or even a few such goals. Fulfill your intellectual, physical, and/or spiritual obligations to yourself. Life without goals and interests is not only boring, but a symptom of being inattentive. It doesn't matter you do, just pick something hard and do a at least a little of it every chance you get. And don't get the blues if sometimes you get a little tired of routine. Life is mostly routine, unless maybe you're a kamikaze. Find the routines you appreciate.
