Where Does a 5-letter Word Lead Us To

                             Where Does a 5-letter Word Lead Us To 

👹Way before this pandemic was more fiction than it is today, we were going through the motions in our daily lives, regardless if you're an office-based worker or you're an entrepreneur.  In between lulls, surely you heard someone blurting that getting BORED is creeping.

Fast forward to this pandemic when we are saving tons of time and effort by teleworking [from home], how many more decibels have gone up for you to hear from either flank that a lot more of us is getting BORED?

Hell no, we got to change this narrative! The narrative is for you to write because getting BORED has no place in our conversation, not these days.

Unless you have a great growth mindset, you're not going to hit a homerun.  Not when you are fixated with being idle than busy on something that justifies your existence.  Not if and when your swag and confidence may [falsely] lead you to that unwillingness to learn.  Unless you have that predilection for defiance for the sake of being different, simply for that penchant for being a contrarian.  Unless you 'kick your own ass' [pardon me for a lack of a better word], if you don't have that wherewithal, that dilemma will break you [at least mentally] even as you may try to outrun the demons.  

Which path will you take?  Take your pick!  Take the EXCITING path and off you go.  Take the BORING path and you're done, pronto!  If you need to turn your mindset upside down, switch from hard ball to wrecking ball, pronto!  Desist that tempt to pull the wool over your own eyes because that will get you blind-sided.  

Instead, please read the tea leaves.  Decipher that handwriting on the wall, if you have to but you can't second guess things when you are at the crossroads.

Not to scare you.  You can scroll all over the repositories.  You will end with Mr Google showing us16 million search results, all stumping us that indeed boredom is a poison no less.  What happens when that dreaded poison creeps into our system?  Your guess is as good as mine.  We'll be doomed to fail.  Unfortunately, failure knows no boundaries.  The domino pieces will fall into places unknown hitherto.  

Dude, it's time to close the lid.  The monkey is dead.   We gotta wake up and realize, even of late, that we're in a marathon, not a sprint.  As sprinting may lead you to be huffing and puffing, pace yourself for our 42k marathon.  And once you get into that 'hand in glove' fit, you are ripe to be a 'niddle mover'.  Squeeze that remaining juice from yourself so you can extract the best results towards the Finish Line and once you get over the hump, you'll realize that whatever you gave 'all out', that's 'chumps change', very much worth it.

And if you're being pushed into a corner, extricate yourself at the quickest possible time.  Ending up there will lead you nowhere.  And that's why prior to this pandemic, we felt BORED when working in office and during this long-drawn pandemic, we still hear around folks getting BORED when teleworking [from home].

After you have spent a good chunk of your life to turn things around, this is not the time to give up the farm for just the 'bread crumbs'.  Move yourself to be a transformational piece who can lift all boats.  Be a game-changer on your own.  That BOREdom thing, that's the worm in the bud you gotta nip asap, pronto, now.😈
