I always think outside the box when it comes to work. For some reason I have a more difficult time applying that same principle in my everyday life. As of late I have been surrounded by friends that have tested that notion in my life, they will ask me “Why don’t you live a little?” “Think outside the box” “Take a risk”. It’s all very funny to me because I don’t even think of it twice when it comes to work.

The lesson here is that, you can and should dare to live outside the box. I am not saying go out there and do something totally crazy and dangerous. What I am saying is sometimes, there is no need to always over think things, you should just do them and allow yourself to get let lose and enjoy yourself. If you meet a guy and he makes you laugh, instead of over thinking it, allow yourself to be treated nicely by him and enjoy him enjoying you.  Be in the moment, rather than thinking about the WHAT, IF,WHEN , WHERE. Who cares what kind of shoes he’s wearing or what his clothes look like, he’s making you laugh right? So enjoy it for that moment. No one said you had to marry him, or even talk to him after this.

I have passed out on so many opportunities in my personal life, because I haven’t allowed myself to think outside the box. Yesterday, I stepped outside of the box and it felt AMAZING, I stopped analyzing and let go. The reward is me feeling GREAT !

If you don’t step outside of the box, you’ll never know what’s waiting for you on the other side.
