You can't afford the luxury of being bored

"I am so bored!!" stated the young boy with a scowl on his face. Everybody knows that children become bored very easily. It seems that kids are used to entertainment being available at their fingertips, Right? Our society makes that situation possible.

Kids are used to watching television, playing video games and, even, being constantly enrolled in various camps. Then, when nothing is presented to them they are at a loss as to what to do with their time

However, it isn't just children who are affected by the malady of boredom. Adults are just as prone, even though you should know better. Boredom is a luxury because time is actually a short term commodity, so why waste it. Is it because you've never really thought about the amount of time that is actually available to you?One never, genuinely knows, does he?

The belief that you're bored can become a habit and it can be poisonous. Tell yourself, when you're life seems dull, that it's time to accomplish something or do something enjoyable.

Often if you take the time to look around at nature, moving traffic, people working or at play, and contemplate the value of what you see, you can be surprised. You just need to take responsibility for your time, and rather than waste it doing nothing except complaining, thank God that you still have time left. Time to do what you please--if you're bored you evidently have some extra time to use doing something enjoyable.

You can even have an interesting life by living inside yourself. That's where happiness lies, anyway--inside, by thinking happy and productive thoughts and following them through. You can have everything, reached all your goals and still be bored and unhappy. You are the only one who can decide how to be satisfied.

Everything can be interesting if you will delve into the mechanics of it. Try it and you will see. Rather than fret and fume about your dull predicament, do something about it--only you alone can solve that problem.

Take care and God bless,
