LIVING OUTSIDE THE BOX

A friend of mine quit her job last week. She quit her job without another one waiting for her. She quit because her job was getting in the way of her passion. She decided to live outside the box. I was intrigued by her decision. Leaving a perfectly good job takes guts. She wants to focus on the things that she wants to do on an everyday basis. She decided to change her life and live her passion now.

Living outside the box is tough to do. We all enjoy the creature comforts of a safe environment. A good job, a nice home, a good relationship, and other things all keep us content, for a time. We wait for a time when we are allowed to work on and feel our passion. Many people wait a long time for this to happen. If you decide to live outside the box, you need to do three things.

The first thing you need to do is to FOCUS and have a clear vision of what you want to do. You need to create a clear vision statement of the things you want to do with your life. The statement has to describe exactly of where you currently stand and where you want to go.

The second thing you need to do is to get the BEST. I mean the best tools, the best map, the best coach or mentor, and the best model of someone who is the most successful in what you want to do. Modeling an already successful person will help you develop the path you need to be successful. Try and meet with them. You will be surprised how helpful they might be with you. They want to pay it forward.

The third thing is to resolve your INNER CONFLICTS. Eighty percent of success is your psychology and the rest is mechanics. Your inner self always tells you the things to create doubt. You made a bad decision, you cannot make your goal, or the goal is too high (or too hard). To resolve your conflicts, you need to align your life to what is most important to you and what you value. Remove as many obstacles as you can. When everything is in alignment, you will take action. If you don't live outside the box, you might miss out on something that could change your life.
