Why We Should Think Out Of The Box

Thinking outside of boxes isn't that hard

Why We Should Think Out Of The Box

I am a dreamer. Always have been, and hopefully always will be. If someone tells me something is impossible, I like to laugh to myself and try to make it possible. If someone says my dreams are too big, I dream it a whole lot bigger and plan different ways that I can reach that dream. It’s hard to be an out of box thinker in an in box thinking world. People want to the known, same old same old, not trying anything new because it could cost them money or a job. People are afraid to dream big because if they fail people may just bring up their failures and never let them try again. However like many great out of box thinkers, you can reach your dream even with failure, if people didn't dream higher than what they could or do, we would still be living in caves.

Some of the greatest human minds were the ones the ones that dream higher then what people tell them they can reach. The Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, Madam C.J. Walker the list can go on and on. People who dream the biggest will usually be the ones that get the most out of life because they know that they never reach the finish line until they die that there really is no perfect end goal, they can find away to make the world a better place to help us move forward when someone would rather move back.

I know that sometimes while people look down at my dreams now, I will one day come out on top for being someone who looked at a simple box and didn't just see what people said that it was, but saw it as what it could become and worked on it to become that thing. Normal people look at the impossible and try to make it practical, abnormal people see the practical and make it impossible.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
