If we can all think outside the box in life, then our life is going to be amazing. Think outside the box constantly, whether it is in relation to sleep, love, food, family, work, study, a book, or absolutely anything. This thinking will open up opportunities to a life with so many options. Try the following scenario and see how good you are at already thinking outside the box!
You are driving in your motorhome and you see three people stranded on a grassy field waiting for a hitchhiker or a bus, but you only have room for one. The three people are:
1. An old lady who is very sick.
2. An old friend who has saved your life numerous times.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which person will you offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car? Think, before you read further.
This situation is a moral/ethical dilemma and has been used by people in work and leisure situations in regards to finding the right person for a position. You could pick up the old lady, because she is very sick, or your old friend because he has saved your life so many times, however, we only get one chance at sometimes finding our perfect mate!
A person who thinks outside the box comes up with the answer very simply: I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams. We have so much to gain if we give up our stubborn thought limitations.
Some people who have not quite grasped the whole ‘think outside the box’ concept might say the correct answer is: to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have intimate relations with the perfect partner at the bus stop and then drive off with the old friend to have a few drinks!
Never forget to ‘Think Outside of the Box’.
