Think Outside The Box

 

Thinking outside the box seams to be rare these days. Many people find themselves consumed by the why society wants up to be.  During a long talk with a friend recently we talked about how many people are use to the 9 to 5 jobs, and the constant grind. Those who also work a professional job with a steady, or busy schedule tend to take big vacations that have been planned out for a while. Some of these vacations are good, however some it seams they tend to be manufactured in a way to present false happiness.

I'm one to be working a 40 hour a week job, however work a different shift.  This allows me to commute to and from work outside of peak traffic house.  I also find myself not wanting to go on huge vacations; yet wanting to do small simple things. 

I find happiness in doing things with close friends and family to be more valuable.  I also see that when I start something new, or try something new people tend to talk.  People saying "what is he doing?!" 

You only have one life to live, and your never going to know if your capable of doing something unless you try it. I also see this as a great thing to show kids. If your a parent what better way to positively influence your children by showing that you can do, or try something new.  This being said perhaps you use to do something years ago that you miss doing. If your able why not try and do it again. 

Here's a good example. Growing up I use to race bmx bikes as a kid. This was a regular thing for me when I was about 15 years told to about 18 years old. I recently got back into this and introduced my son to the bmx racing scene. It's been great and overall it's a good healthy sport that challenges you physically, mentally, and allows for a good outlet.

When people find themselves looking at what your doing and make odd comments like "what does he  think he's doing?" I laugh. So many people are glued to their phones these days, and worried about the social media statistics. 

In the end if you get outside, do something new, or something you use to do for yourself all your doing is bettering yourself. That in itself is rewarding. So next time your wondering if you should do something new, or something you use to do, get up and do it! 

You'll be glad you did!

Cheers!
