Be BOLD, Be BRAVE and Be TRUE!!!

...Be bold, be brave and be true!... don't just read the words and move on but really and truly read them and re-read them as many times as it takes to help them sink in...Be bold, be brave and be true!!
When I think of this statement it reminds me how important it is to "think outside the box". This is probably one of the most common requests in the world today. Companies, schools, partners, parents, etc...

Finding people who "think outside the box" although extremely sought after, can be incredibly difficult. For those who have entered into the rat race, there is one common factor, one common ingredient that holds people back from finding this quality.

If I had to sum up in my own words what thinking outside the box means to me then I would say it is synonymous for being bold, being brave and being true... as those who are all of these things... I consider to be free of this common ingredient that holds people back from thinking outside the box... I suppose we all know what that one common ingredient is...right??? ... FEAR!

Those who are afraid cannot be bold, brave or true! Those who are afraid, who act in fear cannot see themselves as being great because they are too worried about failure, bad luck, whether people will like them, whether their ideas will be accepted, afraid of burning their bridges in case their thoughts/ideas don't get them anywhere! For people who think outside the box, they don't worry or fret about those things, they just think it and go! I know it may seem careless but really it's not! Be bold and believe in your instincts, be brave and act on them and be true to yourself in the process so you have no regrets!!!
