Get bored easily? This is not a character flaw...It is a character draw!

Growing up all I ever heard was "Do you finish anything you start?" Not to mention all of the times I would get in trouble for being bored....When I left home, I went through job after job and it was not because I couldn't keep them.

I get bored. Simple really. I need things to amuse me and if I do something for too long I feel like I am going to scream. I cannot lie it can be a pain in the ass when I want to make one of my kids a afghan or I want to finish a painting for the living room, but the rest of the time it gives me a chance to try all kinds of new things.

We are told getting bored is a negative thing but the truth is it is really more freeing than the restrictions people place on themselves because they think they have too.

The wealthiest people in the world will tell you that they get bored easily. It means we are not inclined to settle. It means we feel the need to try new things. It means we find our security and stability inside of ourselves instead of seeking it out in a job, or a relationship.

It means when we are not happy we change things. It means we get to try all kinds of different things in our lifetime.

It means freedom of choice. Of course it also means feeling of failure if you continue to believe their is something wrong with you because you get bored.

When your life is over it will not matter how many different jobs you had so it should not matter now. Paying your bills is the priority not how you pay them.

Do whatever you need to do in order to love the life you are living, and when you are trying to decide what you should go to school for...or what kind of job you want to have...Try thinking about what you want to do right now. It cannot possibly be a bad thing to have a few degrees.

Take the pressure off, you do not know what is going to happen tomorrow so love the life you are living today.

To my fellow boredom is bad peeps....Keep changing....You can always find room to store those half done projects... For me I am bored as soon as I figure it out and that means I am constantly learning...I will get back to those projects eventually. I am sure I will...
