“Eureka”,
an exclamation of epiphany, discovery…an ‘Aha’ moment noted. Archimedes made
this exclamation upon one of his discoveries. He certainly would not have said
it if he was not thinking outside the ‘box’. He ventured with his mind to new
places of thought. The discoveries would never have taken place if he was
complacent with the status quo. He sought answers to new questions. He was
definitely one who thought ‘outside the box’.
The
question at hand is…’Who decided the shape of the box and what went into the
box?’ How is it you wish to be defined? Your individuality demands
changes over time. Flexibility and diversity will allow you to be changing and
re-creating yourself throughout your lifetime. Cookie cutter lives are what
most of us are avoiding. We wish to be more than the sum of our parts. We wish
to be noticed for our ever-changing ways. The new improved version of ‘self’
should be shared with one and all. Every day should be a new adventure.
When
we look within and search our heart with our mind we make a discovery of what
makes your heart sing. What kind of box resides there?
Today I am a ballerina
dancing through my day.
Today I am a horse in a
carousel riding like the wind with my friends.
Today I am a crystal egg in
winter holding onto springs’ promise.
Think
outside the box. Embrace the ideas that come. Try something different. When it
comes from the heart there is no one else to please than yourself, so enjoy the
moment, the day, the new life at hand.
The ‘out-of-the-box’ question I pose to you is this…
When is a piano like a drum?
When Jamie Cullum plays it…because it’s ‘thrilling!’
Enjoy!
