Thinking outside the box (Part 1)
February 18, 2007
On the morning of February 14, 2007, almost every exposed surface in the Washington area was covered by snow and in many cases, several centimetres of clear ice- brought on by the Valentine’s Day Ice Storm.
Coming from the Caribbean where there is no Winter, or ice storms for the matter, and with limited knowledge of Snow or Ice Storms, my thinking was that ice belongs exclusively in…
-
The Refrigerator
-
Glasses/cups
-
Drink coolers
To a lesser or greater degree, we are all guilty of putting all ice in a box (metaphorically speaking) by making blanket assumptions, having pre-conceived notions or subscribing to stereotypical viewpoints.
The old adage ‘What looks like a rock (to the untrained eyes) might actually be a diamond’ speaks truth. It takes a fresh perspective, it takes someone that thinks outside of the box to discover the diamond in that rock.
It takes thinking outside the box to discover our purpose in life; it takes thinking outside the box to develop a greater awareness of true reality; it takes thinking outside the box to grow!
Challenge yourself to think outside the box.
From my heart to yours,
Akhenaton
