Outside The Box

A friend once told me, "Life is a journey" this is true, you never know where it is going to take you. Life is short, so take advantage while you can. Live "Outside the box" as in not the "Norm". Folks are creatures of habit. They always go out to dinner on Friday night, or always go to a certain place on vacation and so on. They never go outside the box. Until something happens as in an life altering illness as some i know, you think, "I should have, could have, wanted to, never tried, wish i had". Life is full of regrets, if you go outside the box, try new things, experience new adventures, if only small ones, maybe there will be less to regret. Make a "Bucket list" and try and see how many things you can check off. Take a fear and keep trying to conquer it. Tradition, as in, passing on, handing over, may become boring or your family may only do it as to please you. Let them go outside there box without guilt. Don't give up your dreams, life may alter them, or change direction, but never let go of it. If you are passionate as i am, in many ways, never let that go, it is who you are, what you love. Don't hold back on the hugs, saying i love you, never regret not telling your children, grandchildren and friends how much you love them. If you are not a verbal person, go outside the box and try. Little by little, "outside the box".
