For example, I found crafting later in life. I have tons of craft supplies, I collect them, but I don't use them. I'm afraid to waste them :P I do tend to get a little more daring as xmas starts to close in. Last year I painted light bulbs and I dove right in to that one. My sister suggested it because one that she had stopped working and she couldn't find them anywhere, which gave me the incentive and it was a lot of fun. :)<br /><br />It's not often that I regret leaving the box, it's getting the courage to do it that I find so very elusive. That, and I’m a terrible procrastinator, I can always do it later…Kerri Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368500873620219614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-66112196282528376952009-05-22T12:48:24.275-07:002009-05-22T12:48:24.275-07:00I've always believed that in order to think outsid...I've always believed that in order to think outside the box, you have to learn the box first. It's amazing how "boxy" tai chi can be. But too many people want to skip the hard work and discipline and get right down to doing whatever they want. Not right. Learn it first, then blow it away. Also, I have a natural propensity for, and have developed with the tai chi, intuitive thinking as opposed to logical thinking. This causes great problems in a work environment when your boss wnts to know "why" you did or want to do something--you know it's the right thing to do, but to have to explain it is so tedious...mike ferruggiahttp://www.mytaichilife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-74423307490046620002009-05-22T11:15:06.057-07:002009-05-22T11:15:06.057-07:00I'm terrible -- I'm always taking the boxes they p...I'm terrible -- I'm always taking the boxes they put me in, and playing with the boxes like they were toys.CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852676461994077684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-76149957410216584502009-05-21T18:32:03.282-07:002009-05-21T18:32:03.282-07:00My thinking is always so out of the box that I can...My thinking is always so out of the box that I can never stay in a box for too long.

Man... you always tell it like it is, and though the "is" ain't always pretty it is so damn right on.<br /><br />Cyber high-fiving you anyway. : )Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566477778406400875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-10186021988898405992009-05-21T16:05:06.578-07:002009-05-21T16:05:06.578-07:00My own experiences bear out what you were saying a...My own experiences bear out what you were saying about groups not thinking outside the box.<br /><br />A long time ago I worked for a nonprofit health reform organization. More recently I was a member of a slow-growth group in California where I used to live.<br /><br />Both of those organizations had goals and ideas that I agreed with. But thinking outside the box? You couldn't find a group of government bureaucrats or clerical workers who were more narrow-focused and by-the-book than those two organizations.Tom Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610417770240609022noreply@blogger.com
