As an adult, has it ever felt like you’ve tried every possibility when things aren’t working as you want them to and there’s just no solution?

Businessman Stop Domino Effect.

As kids we can think of infinite creative ways to do things like turning a corrugated box into something magical; we don’t see the borders of the box as limitations.


As we grow up, it may sometimes feel complex to generate one new idea. We may force ourselves to fit everything within the boundaries that seem to exist.


Sometimes what may seem like it should be simple may feel impossible to overcome. When we look at the details of any circumstance, we may repeatedly see the same inevitabilities instead of seeing new opportunities.


“You have to color outside the lines once in a while if you want to make your life a masterpiece.” ‒ Albert Einstein

What if it feels hard to color outside those lines?


Life is like a script we haven’t mastered learning yet. “The script is the coloring book that you’re given, and your job is to figure out how to color it in. And also when and where to color outside the lines.” ‒ James Spader


What is it about urgent instances that make it feel easier to know what to do than for daily occurrences?


How might we figure out when and where to color outside the lines when it comes to the less complex, ordinary things we may be hesitant to act on?


Have you ever hesitated to start a new exercise plan, clear some clutter, or prioritize the “ME” time that you’ve always wanted to have and never got to, for example?


How might thinking beyond the borders you may have set for yourself allow you to try something new, something small, something creative to reach your present goals, as you used your limitless imagination when you were a kid?


If you believe you don’t have time to do one thing for yourself, then it might be time to imagine something beyond your limits to experience possibility today in a new, unique way!
