When you let go of the rules that you give yourself for
living, and start thinking outside of the box it’s astounding the dreams that
you’ll dream, and the freedoms that you’ll find. The next time you think, “I
can’t do that,” ask yourself precisely why that is. In all likelihood there is
not great reasoning to back that up. Most of the rules that we find in our
lives are “man-made” or “woman-made” so to speak.
It’s easy in theory, but challenging in practice because it
requires that the individual be vigilant in policing their own thought
patterns. Luckily, we know of several practices that can help in the realm of
thought patrolling. Keep a journal of your dominant thoughts, questions, or
feelings, and then go back and read what you’ve written. Meditate, and
experience life without thought. Talk to someone. Getting another perspective
can make all the difference in your interpretation of life.
The ultimate lesson is to understand that “the box” that
you’ve been thinking in, it doesn’t even exist.
Wishing you freedom of mind and spirit,
