Many of us live in our own little Box of reality and personality – our view of life and who we are. However, this view is often a made-up story of who we think we are. Perhaps, an even more serious issue, we often let others determine who we should be and what we must do. We forget that we are fully in charge of our lives.It sometimes seems dark and dusty inside our own little Box of life, and we think we can’t get out. We tell ourselves stories about our personality and limited opportunities - but these aren’t real, they’re just our perception. Deep down, we know (or at least hope) we are so much more than what we are experiencing right now. But something is interfering and blocking us on our way to happiness and success.The good news is that we can break out from the Box if we really want to. We can remove the interference and see the light of the world. We can learn to fly and leave our invented Box - if we only have the guts to do so, if we only give ourselves a chance, if we’re ready and willing to change.But many of us will live trapped inside our “Box of personality” for our entire lives, never knowing that we can leave and break free. We are victims of our own invented limits. We wake up each morning to a world that is in recession, it’s dim and unclear. There are so many problems wrapped around us; there is almost no light. Pushing against the inner wall of the Box seems futile. Why bother? I am the way I am and I am achieving what I’m supposed to… Or can there be more?Yes, there can be more. For instance, why are some people happier and more successful than others? Why are some people crystal clear about their purpose in life? Why can some people bounce back after failure, push themselves forward and take charge of their lives? Why are some people “winners” in their lives and some “victims” – no matter what circumstances they face? How exactly do the “winners” learn to create their spirit, power and inspiration in life? Well, it is a fact that the “winners” have already left their “Box of safety”. They are indeed thriving and living the life of their dreams. They want to grow and they want to reinvent who they once were to be their authentic self. They spread their wings and abandon their “victim personality”. They stop complaining and start empowering themselves. They become winners of their own life. From my 30 years of coaching, counseling and mentoring people, I have found that anyone, at any stage, and at any age can take charge of their lives and “break out of the Box”. Once they leave their limited Box life they can start living a life which rings true to them. They focus on what matters most and live a life that shows it.Is that something for you? Do you want to live a life according to your dreams and goals? Do you want to be a “winner” in life or do you want to be a “victim” – living in a Box? The choice is yours. Yes, the choice is indeed yours. Remember that you are the only one who is in charge of your life, no one else, unless you let someone. So, kick the proverbial Box and BREAK FREE. Get out there and live a life that is right for you – no matter what!
