Thrilling Thursday Thinking Like There is No Box
Thrilling Thursday – the freedom that comes from thinking like there is no box is thrilling.
Throughout the month of August the Thrilling Thursday posts are all about thinking differently. Last week I wrote about thinking outside the box. For our purposes today, the box is the way people normally look at something, strict rules for how to do things, how to think about things. This week I am writing about thinking as if there was no box.
How would you behave if your life was not defined by other people, by what you did yesterday? What would your life be like if you could be anything, do anything and there was nothing limiting the future for you, but you? Does that possibility sound exciting or frightening?
If you get rid of the box, then the possibility to dream exists and you are able to do what you want. Pick a dream any dream. Now if there was nothing to stop you, figure out how you would get from where you are today to your dream. Remember, there is no box, there is nothing standing between you and your dream. Just go for it. Everything is possible now that you are thinking as if there is no box at all.

To go from here to the dream the only thing in your way is determination and hard work. When you act as if there is no box, you create the design you want your life to take. Get up and move. All the thinking in the world does not get you out of the box. No matter how much thinking you do, you cannot turn the box into a circle or make it the triangle you would like it to be. If you want to change the shape of your life and dream, you must act, you must do something. So, the question for you this Thrilling Thursday is what would you do if there was no box?

Thank you for adding both your posts. I am a big believer in affirmations and have taught my children to wake up and say, ” I am ***. I am special, God loves me and I love me.” Our words have power and you have given us some tools to make that power grow.
This is great stuff! Think like there is no box. Love it! I have posted two blog pieces above. The first one titled Visions of the Future come before You! is about affirmations and using visualization techniques in your lists, the post goes into detail and explains what I mean. The second post, A Glimpse into the Future…, takes the visualization technique of affirmations to another level, by taking that goal or dream and seeing it happen in your mind's eye. I would do this on occasion in my affirmations journal to give it some variety. It helps with pushing those walls of the box we tend to create and the goal is to eventually knock them down 🙂
