"It isn't enough to think outside of the box. Thinking
is passive. Get used to acting outside the box."
Tim Ferriss
Growing up, I did not have any control over my existence. Not physically, mentally nor spiritually. Religion demanded absolute acceptance of parental control or suffer in hell. It took years to accumulate strength to push back and create a slight beam of light to see that I was actually there.
Avoiding consequences, thoughts were kept private and behaviors modified. No matter what was done or said, my inner voice remained silent. Early on, there was this 'awareness' of misconstrued information and untrusting resources. My creative mind began to speculate about a life outside of the box.
Today, I find my lovely self in much of the same conundrum. Control over my life may be decreasing and my inner voice feels the need to be silent. The only course seems, once again, to be brave while moving through the darkness in spite of growing fear. Perhaps stepping out of the box, I will once again hold myself accountable.
