Boredom: Why You Should Never Be Bored!
Being bored! A feeling that has took a hold of many in the population of the
world.
By definition, bored means "to weary by dullness, tedious repetition,
unwelcome attentions, etc." (Random House Dictionary). At the most basic
level, being bored is nothing other than being tired of a series of events in
your life. Tired of having the same old stuff happen to you, tired of doing
the same things, tired of the same experiences, this is the bases of boredom,
even though it does involve other aspects.
Now when you really think about it, it makes no sense to ever be bored,
especially with the multitude of different subjects and skills one can
learn and master in the time you spend being bored. Being bored is a mental
illness, it is a psychological illness in which a person has lost interest
in growing, and they no longer feel comfortable doing the same old things
they are used to. The scary part about it is that many people are bored every
single day for hours. Various organizations realized people didn't have
ideas and concentrated goals, so they created things like the television
in order to literally give them a direction. You can't complain about it
because before that you weren't doing anything relevant.
Some people come home from work, and have absolutely nothing to do. They have no goals or things they want to master. They complain about the lack of days off, but when they get a day off, they are completely bored and have no idea what to do with themselves. Very interesting!
Those who are self educate say that they became masters effortlessly by
dedicating their time to advancing themselves in a particular field. All
that is required to be an expert is to have knowledge in your field. Earl
Nightingale believed that an individual could become a world class expert in
any field by simply studying every available resource (in that field) for an
hour a day for just a year! He didn't say for centuries, but just a year.
When you calculate it, one hour a day, would equal 365 hours. All the way
through that would equal about 15 days, rounding it off, two weeks straight
of studying. That's not very long at all. When asked about his daily life,
Bill Gates said he reads at least 2-4 hours a day, and another 2 hours he
watches educational videos. I doubt Bill Gates is bored, and he probably
has mastered many different fields of study with that time, finding ways to
become better, and to make more money. In my studies of successful people,
they are excelled in a certain area of study, they knew making themselves
more valuable guaranteed success in any frontier or state of the economy.
In economics, there is a term called opportunity cost which is the value
of the next best choice that one gives up when making a decision. When one
decides to be bored (this definitely is a personal decision), the cost of
your time is being spent. Think about what you could be doing with all that
time. We are not talking about doing any old thing with your time, because
you can sit around and watch television and be "doing something". We are
talking about becoming a better person here, learning new skills, new trades,
new knowledge, new abilities, that will help the individual become more
valuable to society.
On a side note, the people that try to keep their schedules extremely busy so
they are never idol are actually evading a problem, they are evading facing themselves.
Similarly, boredom has polarities, in one aspect, it deals with being static
in life, and on the other hand, it deals with not being able to meditate.
Meditation will actually help many people who are bored. They can simply stop searching for stimulation (i.e. "I'm bored what should I do now?") quite
their mind, and let the inner self give them direction. People who begin to
meditate often times discover something about themselves that pushes them
into a new field of study or interest, thus losing the boredom.
But, if you are simply bored because you don't have anything to do, then
think about all the different things you could master and even possibly make
a new stream of income off of. Subject range from sociology, psychology,
physics, music, neurology, persuasion, linguistics, archeology, history,
law, commerce, technology, writing, vocabulary, conspiracy history, media,
fictional literature, speed reading, self development, yoga, martial arts,
sports, you get the point? There are too many things out there to be mastered
for you to sit around and be bored. Learn a new skill! Learn to play an
instrument, learn to read faster, improve your word usage, learn how to
become a better lover, grow as an individual! While you are sitting around
being bored, you could potentially have mastered tons of subject and skills.
Remember back in the day when you heard about a person who was a painter,
architect, musician, doctor, poet, fencer, and a sexual guru? Well that
person used his or her time wisely and mastered multiple fields. Think how
much more valuable you can become by investing time in yourself rather than
being bored.
Truthfully, being bored shows that your inner reality is one of stagnation,
lack, and non-growth. It shows that you are stuck at a certain level, and
refuse to pick up yourself and become better. In nature, things that aren't
being used end up dying out and being recycled. Of course I am not implying
that you will die, but you probably get the point!
Stop being bored and learn to allocate your time better into things that will
help you life!
