How can you get out of the box?
There is this box going around that everyone is trying to think outside of. It is standard in meetings for persons to be charged to “think outside the box.” What box? Where did the box come from? Who is responsible for carrying this box around? And what if there is no box? And then there is nothing to think outside of. And so you just have to think….
Hmmmm.
It is my view that “the box” is really mental blocks that limit your way of seeing the world…or is it feeling the world…or tasting the world…or smelling the world…or understanding the world…or how your internal mind talks about the world…
Hold on…when was the last time you look at a particular problem from another perspective? Let’s look at some of my personal favourite ways people jump inside “the box” and limit their ways of contemplating the world.
– I need to earn $XXXXXX to live the life I want
– I’ll be too old by the time I make this change
– I don’t have what it takes to reinvent myself or even repurpose what I do
– I’m a loser and a failure – I can’t compete
– I’m too unskilled or out of touch with current trends
– I have nothing important to offer
– I’m not special
– I’m too beat up and burnt out
– Nothing else will be better
These are harsh words that we use on ourselves and stop the flow of our greatness. Let’s take the concept of “not having what it takes.” What does that mean exactly? Does that mean you cannot learn anymore? Does it mean that you cannot change the scenery that you look at each day? You cannot change the foods you tastes, the scents you smell? Are you vegatable? More than likely, if you are reading this, you have a sense of dissatisfaction that has you trapped in a box. So then, you are the box.
My advise. Mash up the box. Not yourself, the negative thinking that traps you. It is so debilitating that your life can just stand still. You would fee stuck like nothing can change. And yet, none of that thinking is true.
You were made in the image and likeness of God. What does that mean to the box you may find yourself in?
It is time for a change.
As you are working through getting rid of the box of negative thinking, I want to take this opportunity to invite you to reach out and find a life coach or attend events that will help you to reach your fullest potential. There are so many coaches in Jamaica that are available to help you on your journey.
