Rain, Rain, Go Away

So it has been very rainy the past couple of weeks here. It was nice at first, but now it just needs to stop. I love rain; the smell of it, how it cools everything down, and how it fun it can be to play in. However, when it rains too much, everything can become water logged, much like it is now.

Have you ever felt "water logged" with information and different things going on? That sometimes, you have too much information or things happening at once, that you do not want to take them on, that you do not know where to start? If you answered 'yes' then that is ok. I believe every person has felt "water logged" at one point or another. Then how do we stop this from happening? Get out of the rain, of course.

What I mean by "getting out of the rain" is by going back to the basics, to what you know. Often, I have felt that I look for many different ways to solve a problem; and that is just me. I need to see which is the best solution. Sometimes though, I look for the answer too long, and the problem either becomes worse or someone else solves it. What I should have done is followed my gut, my own personal instinct and experience. I know I have learned what works and what doesn't to a certain extent from previous experience, so why wouldn't it work now? While each situation has its specific set of problems, they can often be solved by a previous technique or idea. If you make a mistake, guess what? That is ok. It is ok to make a mistake. As long as you get back up and learn from it.

We also often look to "Google" too often for quick answers. Sometimes we find what we are looking for; sometimes it is watered down; and sometimes we can't find anything at all. In the end it is usually better to find out a piece of information other than google. Believe me, I like using google, but I don't want it to be my crutch for information.
