What is What Box?

Post on Thursday, July 15th, 2004

To paraphrase Picasso, “We are all born artists, the challenge is to stay one.” Even in the best and most supportive of circumstances the creative path is not an easy one. We can all recall times during our early years when our creative talents were shut down, leaving us thinking and feeling as if there is no possible way I can be creative or anywhere near as artistic as Picasso. Guess what? You are and you can.

The truth of the matter is we are all made up of pure creative energy. Yet people have a tendency to dismiss, discount, and rob themselves of their most powerful essence, the characteristic which supports defining who they uniquely are as individuals, their creativity.

If you desire to increase your creative thinking and reach for your full potential then What Box? is for you. You ask, what is What Box? More and more of us are being defined by the limiting parameters we set for ourselves, a box. People have them, communities have them, corporations have them, governments have them, and maybe even animals have them.

If we sit back for a few seconds and think about the idea of a box, we might see that some of the greatest discoveries in history have been uncovered by individuals willing to take a risk and think outside-the-box. Just by saying “I really need to think outside-the-box” we acknowledge that a box exists in the first place. What if there were a place you could turn and find creativity tools that support your ability to be the best you can be? Creativity tools that support new and different thinking where there is no box. A place where anything is possible, miracles happen, and where creativity reigns supreme.

Welcome to What Box?

Creativity comes when we view any given situation with a fresh and different perspective. One of our greatest keys to more fully accessing and utilizing our creativity potential is a positive and open attitude. When we lock ourselves into old and non-productive paradigms we box ourselves in. My motivation and goal is to support you so that you can consciously exercise your creative muscle each week with real-life stories of creativity and inspiration, along with creativity tools and exercises that I have researched, experimented with and created over the years.

What Box? can help to whack you out of your old and tired patterns with new and different thinking, allowing you to generate fresh new perspectives in all aspects of your life. Your creative muscle will increase and you will start seeing the positive effects of a creative life. Together we will exercise the creative side of our brains and use more of the brains potential. Some of the things we will explore at What Box? include the art of visual thinking, how to embrace your creativity, keys to success, breaking out-of-the-box, the power of dreaming, creating the life you want, and how to unlock more of your full potential.

Your creativity is such a gift. When you begin to act on your creativity what you find inside may be more valuable than what you produce for the external world. You have everything you need to be all you can be. Where do you want to go?

Have you got wonderful creative story you want to share? Is something holding you back from reaching for your creative potential? What situation do you find yourself in that could use What Box? thinking. Send me a note. Each week I will share personal stories and those of others, along with a challenge or two. This will allow us an opportunity to share and gain new perspective along with the creativity tools to support you in our efforts to break out-of-the-box.

Get ready, the What Box? adventure is about to begin.

Away we go. . .
