Thinking out of the box

Today’s reminder is to think out of the box! I hadn’t realized until recently that I naturally tend to think out of the box. I thought I was like most folks. But perhaps, I’m already a little different in my line of work. Everyday my assumptions about the world and the animals are challenged and I learn something new. I like that. Old rules don’t serve me well. I tend to just try things out without thinking of the dreaded “rules”. Some rules that start with “that’s how it’s done” “that’s how it is” and the like, always feel bad to me. Perhaps, because we are meant to break through the have-done’s and try something new! We are here as the explorers to break through barriers, start a new way when the old way doesn’t work.

We just watched a beautiful series on DVD about the Earth. At the end of the series, conservation of the animals and the planet was discussed. We’re losing animals left and right to extinction and changing the planet to global warming. Time to start thinking differently, I thought, on a global level. Not easy when our government seems to have different ideas and likes to think the same way. It’s frustrating. And on a smaller scale in my own life, I see this when I posted my online gallery exhibit. I was recently presented with a list of rules how an exhibit is done. It’s a Ronni exhibit. It has its own delicious rules. No more boxes, folks. I like to look up and see a sun on my ceiling. 🙂
