Everything bores you. You're bored with the routine, the office, the same streets. Life seems like a bad movie where the day repeats itself every day. How about a good film to help you get out of that black hole?

The process of change, or resurrection as some people call it, certainly involves a lot of small transformations, which we are not always willing to do.

I want a new job, but I don't look for it. I want a new house, but I don't look at the classifieds. I want a new partner, but I don't dare leave the one I have. Change, in the end, is a decision that doesn't only involve age, so forget the grey hairs, these are the things that really age us.
