A thought
by John C. Maxwell (2012-10-02) from his book, The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth: Live Them and Reach Your Potential
(pp. 202-203). Center Street. Kindle Edition.
So many times it is in a crisis that we come up with a good idea. Now we may
be able to avert the crisis by stopping and looking outside the box before we
have to but we don't.
It is
also important to see that the only way many problems can be solved is by
looking outside the box. That is where
frustration comes when one won’t look outside and thus can’t solve their
problem.
What
problem are you in the midst of right now?
How are you striving to solve it?
Are you frustrated, really frustrated because you can’t solve it? Maybe you have never looked outside the box
before and you need help.
One
thing I have done is to set down with a note pad and put 1-10 on the side and
come up with 10 different options. Some
that make since and some that don’t. I
just would be creative and then go from there.
Also
I try to get around people who think outside the box and then just start
talking. If money was no object, if time
was no object, if people were no object, what could we do? And then go from there.
“Good
ideas are everywhere, but it’s hard to see them when you won’t look outside of
your box.”
So
what’s your problem?
