EXCERPT

Chapter 1 - Thinking Out of the Box:  Finding Your Own Truth

Many people live their life believing that things make them happy.  They believe that possessions, places, and people are parts of a puzzle to create one’s happiness.  I strongly disagree.  I believe that happiness is within us and is always there.  It is an endless energy of blissfulness, looking for ways to express itself in everything and all things.  Happiness never dies nor weakens.  This might explains how people find happiness, in the midst of known hardship or the most dismal of situations.  Time and time again, this has been displayed, regardless of a person’s history. People find happiness in the most unexpected places and faces. Happiness is the energy of joy and joy is from within. 

We find ways that limit our happiness, restrict our happiness, and even prevent our happiness.  People very often invent reasons to be sad or angry.  “If I don’t have this I will be miserable”—“if don’t get there, I will be angry”—“if I don’t have what they have, I will be sad.“  

Visualize happiness as a bright light inside us that always tries to shine, but is constantly covered by a multitude of life’s challenges and obstacles.  We look for happiness in all the wrong placesWe may even purposely prevent this light from shining, as if we want to be sad, angry, upset, or disgusted.   

Thinking out of the box is much like happiness in the way that it begins from within.  It is the energy of creativity and your creativity is from within you.  It looks to shine its light in your life, guiding you towards your full potential.  Thinking out of the box is a beacon for your greatness.

People too often find ways to limit, restrict, and even purposely prevent thinking out of the box by believing in standards, categories, and opinions.  We must think beyond these restrictions to find our personal truth and full potential. 

This chapter is designed to assist you in thinking beyond limitations, opinions, and standards.  Building wealth is easier when you realize that your thoughts and  abilities in life are not restricted by anything or anybody—no opinions, standards, or set record have control over your abilities or thoughts.  This chapter is designed to prevent you from looking for your answers in the wrong places and to help you get out of your own way, when necessary. 

Thinking out of the box is a claim that many people will label themselves.  It is like a social medal of honor; the right thing to say.  But what does thinking out of the box really mean and is it a good thing? 

The most successful companies in the world will agree that innovation is one of the greatest qualities a leader can have.  Innovation is the ability to make things better by doing something new and different, or by challenging the popular standards or opinions.  Thinking out of the box means to think beyond.  It is a thorough challenge of one’s creativity to improve something.   

As human beings we instinctively look to make thing better, even if it a simple adjustment of a chair that we are to sit.  We naturally want to make our circumstances better. 

“We are limited not by our abilities, but by our vision.”

 

Question for You to Consider: 

1.   If you could do anything completely new and different to make the world better, what would it be?

Consider this question as you read this book.   

Thinking out of the box is to envision without rules or limitations, to imagine endless possibilities, making your ideas infinite.  Your thinking is not restricted to what everybody else thinks, but to seek a more satisfying resolution.  Once you have the new idea, ask yourself this important question:  How do I make it work?  

This question test your resourcefulness, which is further discussed in this book. 

For everything, you may enjoy, whether it is television, driving, dancing, and even food, someone thought outside of the box to create it.  In 1899 Charles H. Duell was the director of the U.S. Patent Office, and made this bold statement, "Everything that can be invented has been invented.”  Because of Duell’s prominent position, many people believed him.  This was his strong opinion.  That was in 1899. How many inventions do you think were invented since he voiced this opinion?  Thousands!  That opinion was challenged—proven wrong and is still being proved wrong today. 

 

Everything You Do is a Result of Some Kind of Motivation.    Who is Motivating You?
