Its summer now, well it has been for a while, six blog posts ago to be exact. And I've realized that though I thought I would so much cool and crazy stuff after summer started I've been finding myself a slave to boredom. Now not to say I haven't had any fun or I haven't been doing anything at all but I've been succumbing more and more to simple idleness. Now I've been making a huge mistake with what I've been putting that time into. When I have no idea what to do I shift my focus towards Xbox, or texting my friends, or watching TV shows, but I have only recently come to terms with how terrible that practice is. So I decided to change it but weirdly I want to focus on the why I'm changing it as opposed to the what I am changing it to, in order to help you stop and more importantly to clearly illustrate to myself why to stop.
Imagine you snorkeling underwater, and I know how dumb and illogical this may sound but also pretend that an octopus squirted you with its black ink, blinding your goggles with the gooey substance. Now what do you do? Go on your jolly way bumping into the coral reefs, making enemies with sharks, and getting in the way of stingray's? Probably not the best option. The logical decision would be to immediately stop, go back above water to land or to the boat that you deployed off of and clean your goggles or get entirely new ones.
I get it, duh. Literally everyone except for dumb asses would not do that. Maybe so, but if you translate that into a real world situation you'll find that a large majority of people are dumb asses. If you're lost and you don't know what to do stop. Asses the situation and find a solution and then carry on. Or if you're just bored then don't do anything. Doing something blindly does more harm than it does good. When hustling while hushed nothing is always the best solution.
