Are you Thinking Outside the Box yet?

I thought I would talk about how I encounter so many people on a daily basis who have such a linear scope of looking at life. They have become complacent in their mundane jobs and they seem helpless to change it. Why is this? Why not have an enjoyable lucrative business?


Taking the same old train or route to work everyday. Working 9 to 5 and than trying to speed things up  so they can rush home and pick up the kids from day care and/or make dinner for the family. Maybe throw a few work clothes in the washer to wear for the rest of the week. Cramming in helping the kids with homework, bath time, story time if possible, clean up the dishes and flop down thinking..." I wish my life was easier"?  It seems like an endless wheel going round and round.


Somehow we have got stuck in a routine and it is harder to change it as the years go by. We do need to take steps to change how we think so are lives will follow suit and change positively. What makes us think we have to work for someone else? Why are we earning an income that is way below our value? And replaceable too! Yes, in a heartbeat we can be replaced by someone who looks half our age and who will take half the pay to start. You may end up training this person, only to find out that he/she is replacing you. Not very nice is it? Ah..the corporate world.


We need to start learning how to be creative and start taking action now! Why not learn how to be your own boss and start your own business? We need to stop following like sheep and become leaders, positive leaders. We can seek out others who feel the same way and thereby create a network of like minded people with a positive goal. We can do it! No more sleep walking and depending on the boss man. I remember my dad,  having only grade 8 education, built his own Insurance Agency and worked out of our house out West. When the government took over most of his business he went into Flood Damage Inspection. I am so proud of him=)
