just throw the whole damn box away.
think. outside. the box.
this expression used to drive me insane. itās overused, corny and no one ever actually tells you how to do it. so, as someone who needs to know every-fucking-thing, i decided to ruminate over this for a while.
āhow can someone think outside the box?ā
āwhat is the box?ā
āam i the box?ā
finally, something kinda.. clicked.
i think everyoneās āboxā is different. it can be family, friends, where youāre from, your personal beliefs, mindset, fear, etc.
to think outside āthe boxā means to recognize your limits (youāre only human, right?), but to not be limitedĀ by them (because fuck that. dreams donāt build themselves).
when you give yourself permission to think creatively, youāre ultimately empowering yourself to overcome anything (that annoying little voice in the back of your mind, procrastination and laziness, the gaping plot holes in your novel or script.. ugh!!)
basically, what i learned is that how we think can seriously make or break us and that sometimes itās best to just.. throw the whole damn āboxā away.
