Just thought i should put this down..it comes as a bit of a awakening for me..Ive frequently used the phrase "think outside the box", but it only really occured a few minutes ago that the biggest task here is in determining what those boxes are in the first place. I also realise boxes are not static and standard rather diverse and differ from person to person. FInd thos eboxes my friends.. and you have the key to success!!! When they say knowledge of self is liberating, whoever the hell 'they' referes to, they may be on to something!
I am training myself to think outside the box. I have been practising this new mantra that nothing is impossible when dealing with people. I try use it in every context, but mostly when im in trouble and have to beg for something hehe. but i digress..If only i could remember in time to use in in other situations..tkae for example a few minutes ago.
Starving. havent had anything to eat all day. Come out of that loooong 3 hour class and all i can think is foood. every but cafeteria on campo's closed..so i know where im going. Guess what theres nothing to eat, except for some old shrivvelled up gslices of greek pizza. I mean the pizza looks like Abraham baked it. but zi Me i'm ready. so I go ahead and buy it. it wasnt as bad as expected.
10 minutes down the line, my nothing is impossible mantra is stirring at the back of my mind..and i'm thinking..shooooot. I couldve got that and more pizza for free! They throw the stuff out anyway, and they were closing, AND the tired lady at the counter didnt appear like a nazi to me. Whats the moral of the sotry here..? that i'm a cheap bastard? noooo... its the BOX! I was confined to thinking that the rules and regulations stipulate theres NO way around old terrible looking pizza (that infact they should be paying ME to eat it). Where does knowledge of self come in? I find i have avery passive approach to such scenarios when im hungry! I can relate this confinement of thinking to so many other situations ive been in its not even funny. So thats one box..
Ive found majority of the successful people i know(and i hope to be one of them soon hehe) APPROACHING things with this mindset are far better off than those who use it as a contingency.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds

Just a thought.
