Thinking Out of My Box – There Is a World That Rocks

Thinking Outside the Box: Discover a World That Truly Rocks

 

Introduction: Are You Limiting Yourself Without Realizing It?

Do you believe your way of thinking is always right?
Have you ever felt that you already know enough and don’t need to learn more?
What if the biggest limitation in your life is the “box” inside your own mind?

Most of us live within invisible boundaries created by our own thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions. But the truth is—real growth begins when you step outside that box.

---

The Mental Box: How Our Thinking Becomes Limited

Our perceptions, ideas, and beliefs shape who we are. Over time, we begin to judge everything based on our own opinions. This creates a mindset where:

• We believe our thinking is always correct

• We stop accepting new ideas

• We assume we have nothing more to learn

Gradually, our mind becomes a closed box, where no new thoughts are allowed to enter.

👉 The problem?
While the world evolves, our thinking stays stuck.

---

Why You Must Keep Your Mind Open

Through experience and observation, one powerful truth becomes clear:

An open mind is the foundation of success and growth.

Being open-minded does NOT mean blindly agreeing with others. Instead, it means:

• Listening to different perspectives

• Analyzing ideas logically

• Accepting what makes sense

Successful people are not those who know everything—but those who are always willing to learn more.

---

The Power of Listening: A Forgotten Skill

In conversations, most people:

• Focus on speaking

• Want others to agree with them

• Ignore the importance of listening

But effective communication is not just about expressing—it is about understanding.

👉 Real communication = Speaking + Listening

When you truly listen:

• You gain new insights

• You build stronger relationships

• You create mutual respect

---

Why We Struggle to Listen

Let’s be honest—most of us are filled with our own thoughts and emotions.

• We wait for our turn to speak

• We try to prove ourselves right

• We ignore others’ perspectives

This habit limits growth.

👉 Instead, learn to:

• Control your emotions

• Think before you speak

• Value what others say

---

Step Outside Your Box: Expand Your Thinking

 

When you open your mind:

• You discover new ideas

• You experience different perspectives

• You become more adaptable

The world is full of knowledge, but you can only access it if you are willing to step outside your comfort zone.

---

Learn from People Around You

Every person you meet has:

• A unique story

• Different experiences

• Valuable lessons

Instead of forcing your views, try to understand theirs.

👉 This shift in mindset can completely transform your thinking.

---

Benefits of Thinking Outside the Box

1. Improved Communication

You connect better with people and build meaningful relationships.

2. Personal Growth

You become more patient, tolerant, and emotionally intelligent.

3. Better Decision Making

You consider multiple perspectives before acting.

4. Creativity and Innovation

New ideas emerge when different viewpoints combine.

---

Update Your Thinking Like a System

Think of your mind like a system.

👉 If it is not updated:

• It becomes outdated

• It stops functioning effectively

Listening to others and learning new things is like updating your mental software.

---

The Role of Human Connection

 

When you:

• Share ideas

• Listen with sincerity

• Communicate openly

You create:

• Trust

• Understanding

• Strong relationships

👉 Knowledge sharing is not just learning—it is an act of connection and care.

---

How to Break Out of Your Mental Box (Practical Tips)

• Listen more, speak less

• Be open to different opinions

• Avoid judging too quickly

• Reflect on your own thinking

• Learn something new every day

---

The Bigger Picture: A World Full of Possibilities

When you step outside your limited thinking:

• The world becomes more exciting

• Opportunities increase

• Learning never stops

You begin to see life from a broader perspective.

---

Final Thought: Step Out and Explore

At some point, we all need to ask ourselves:

👉 Am I growing, or am I stuck in my own thinking?

Because the moment you step outside your mental box, you realize:

The world is much bigger, more beautiful, and full of endless possibilities.

And that’s when you truly understand:

Thinking beyond your box opens the door to a world that truly rocks.

Higher Thoughts

Couple of years ago, when the materialistic things were of not much availability, people were closely knitted to each other and more importance was given to the relations rather than wondering about the materialistic things, but as the time passed, there was a major shift in the thinking pattern of the individuals. The Human race started running the rat race in order to earn more, this need of earning more even came as a blessing or a curse from this modernization concept itself. People started engaging themselves more into virtual world, where mobile phones, computers and gadgets started replacing the members of the family. The situation changed so much that there are chances that a husband and wife living together are so much involved in their jobs and materialistic world that they might see each other only once in a day but it has technically become impossible for a person to live without mobiles, computers even for a second.

This virtualization and materialization has taken away the inner peace of the mind. There was a time when meeting an old friend in personal was considered as one of the happiest moment for a person, but hats off to the technology these days, you can easily meet all your friends over computers and can even chat with them.

I had been a great fan of Nature photography and I used to enjoy it, but the day I started using social platforms, the only thing that came up in my mind was to have a click that I could post on my wall. So every genuine thing has been moving towards virtual world that has more to show and less to represent.

I have just taken into consideration a different view to the concept and the main motive was not to discard the technology, but to highlight the point that we are moving to a quantity based life and have compromised on the quality so much. The strange part of the whole issues is that, we do not have time for our families, but if a far friend has a status update indicating a bad health, we will not miss a chance to like the status or put a comment on the same.

I do agree to the fact that things do change with respect to time and since the passage of time the technology has upgraded and that has made our life simpler and this is appreciable, but my question comes at all the facilities that comes above this point. My post refers to the over involvement of the individuals in the technical frameworks, which has removed the essence of the emotional relations between all of us. Care in today’s world is defined as the process of liking or commenting on a status and that’s it. This is one of the major reasons for the increasing rate of depression among the individuals. The people are getting more obsessed with the materialistic things and the dependency on these things has reached to a maximum limit.

In spite of having about 1000 odd friends on face book, there are moments that when I feel alone and scroll down the list of virtual friends to find someone to share my feelings and emotions, I feel empty handed, so the numbers have increased, but what is the use of these numbers when there is no connection between the hearts and everything that exists in the virtual world is meant to create an impression on others, however no onecares of what impression it puts on an individual.

If I am feeling sad, I can post it in seconds and the same will be available to hundreds of my friends in my list, a few of them will ask why, a couple will give a like to it, whereas I never understood the sense of liking a post in which an individual is showing to be sad. So after all this is done, the main question is has my sadness gone, the answer is no, maybe I will see other happy posts on the wall and that will make me even more depressed, Instead if I had called one of my real friend that was available in physical with me, it would have been the best.

So the centre point of the whole discussion is that no matter how much the technology may advance, but it will never be possible for science and technology to replace the human emotions and no such social networking platform can do with 1000 friends online, what a single friend in actual can do for you.

May be in today’s world we have to consider all these things as the ornaments that have to be carried along, but they should be used only for decorative purposes with their role limited only to a certain extent and things like love, friendship needs a platform that could be built only using an emotional platform that needs no likes, no comments but it requires a simple hug that comes from your friend’s heart explaining and saying that I am and will always be there in your hours of difficulty.

Everything and every aspect these days is all about show off, people are more concerned about showing off their aspects and being more prominent towards making a life that seems to be perfect when seen by others. We all are making friends online and unaware of the aspect that even that person whom we consider as our friend might not be our friend at all. 

We all have an emotional quotient in us and all of us want to be emotionally connected and feel the warmth of relations. Friends and people we admire are the biggest asset that we could have, no object or worldly happiness could ever replace the warmth of human emotions, a small gesture of kindness and support from any individual or a friend of ours could eventually make us feel happy and give us a reason to be happy and look positively ahead in our lives. The past has shown many successful and rich people falling prey to poor mental health because of the absence of good friends to support them, whereas it has been seen that many not-so-rich people have friends who have supported them in tough times and this has made them live happier and contented. So it is actually very important to have people supporting you, no matter how much wealth you have, but the real wealth lies in true friendship which should not be based on personal greed or profits. 

So the main though here is that our thoughtsthought, our actions and representation of our actions should be correlated and dependent on each other. This creates a positive impact with no showoff being made on any of the aspects of life an and an individual actually shows as he is without trying to impress others and this is real life. All of us have the same destination and impressing others just in order to create a different image from what you actually are among others is no way that would bring happiness top you. As an individual you should realize that there is no one superior to you and no one has the right to judge you until and unless you are in the ethical limits of behavior, your actions should be such that they seem to motivate you and bring contentment to you because if this is not achieved it would be a problematic situation for you in the future and in this race of justifying and pleasing others you would eventually forget your happiness which indeed is the most important aspect of life that has to be achieved.

Heart Vs Brain- Who is the Boss

Heart and Brain both form most essential part of our body. Heart circulates blood giving life to our body. On the other hand brain gives meaning to all the events and things we see. Heart makes us feel and Brain helps us to understand, than how can we say whether it is important to feel or to understand?

Following the heart is easy for all. Heart does not distinguish between right or wrong. It just creates an altogether a rosy picture or an altogether a horror one depending upon the mood. Heart helps us in finding happiness even in small things. Heart makes us like red color and has those innocent crushes. It is this heart which helps in creating our own dream world, fantasies which seem so real and keeps us always on our toes; irrespective of whatever is going around in reality.

Brain – YES the part whose shape resembles that of walnut holds the place above the heart inside our head. Brain is a storehouse of our memories, and experiences that shape our attitudes and perceptions in general. Perceptions refer to our way of seeing this world; giving meaning to everything that is going around us. Perception forms a large part of our personality. This is the logical region which forms relations of objects with experiences and learning there by guiding our actions. Brain controls our body movements bringing about perfect coordination of our hands, eye movements.

Hearts is very innocent and happy go lucky types. They are just wild creatures who if left uncontrolled will take you on a very dangerous roller coaster ride. At the end of the day you won’t be very happy or satisfied with your doings. Our heart tries to find easy ways to pleasure and generally shrugs away the important matters that are not too pleasing or exciting. It distorts the reality and intoxicates us to the worldly tunes.

Brain on the other hand keeps a check on our heart. Brain disciplines our heart. It is only human mind which distinguishes it from other living beings on this earth. Man by extensively making use of his brains changed and modified it from being an animal into a creature of higher level consciousness. It is through his brain that he created for himself the world, the facilities to make his life interesting and easy. So, according to my opinion mind is definitely the boss.

Boss cannot work without the attention and cooperation of heart. Heart is the hub for our feelings and emotions. Man is not a computer deemed to perform only logical operations. A living being has been bestowed with the power to sense and feel.

There are two types of people, the thinkers and the feelers. Thinkers tend to place their mind first in making decisions. They are logical, rational and unbiased while taking their decisions. These people are often seen as taking responsibilities in the areas of quality control and supervisory nature. The other lot belongs to the feelers. These people have the quality of empathy and take decisions considering its effect on people feelings. Such people are well suited to the role of being an HR or a counselor, where persons are at the receiving end and where their psychological satisfaction is of utmost importance.

According to me heart and brain should both be coordinated as best friends of each other; Rather than allowing one to dominate the other. A person should live through his heart but heart should be well guided by the mind to save one from regret.

Now what happens if we go singly through what our minds them; our mind gives a green flag only to those people and things that match our beliefs?  Heart expands our vision and compassion for others. Heart allows us to accept things the way they are. Mind sometimes is unable to see things that can be easily felt with heart; it may in the form of understanding someone’s sadness or happiness by just looking into their eyes. Whereas mind can raise the question that he is just not like me.

Nowadays the topic of emotional quotient is becoming very popular. Many job interviews and tests have now also added to their list emotional intelligence ability tests. There is one immensely popular show by the name ‘Emotional Atyachar ‘that gets aired on a popular youth channel these days. Well this suggests that the topic which we are discussing right now holds a lot of importance. To live carefully and consciously is the solution which is the need of the hour. Gone are the days when due to emotional attachment of the heart people used to ignore the wrongdoings being done towards them. Mind always wants a reason, an answer for everything. We have now entered an era where people have become more expressive and independent.  Emotions should not become one’s weakness instead should be turned out into one’s strength. One should never be an emotional fool and should make use of his great mind always. Mind has been placed above the heart that is for a reason to get the final orders from it and then to proceed further in your doings. Mind should be put to use to decode the mysteries of the world and to make best use of our capabilities.

This battle of thoughts would always continue between your heart and brain and more are the battles higher would be the frustrations. So the best solution to minimize this conflict is to team up the heart and the Brain and make them work in situations through a team effort. Both these are bosses and leaders in their own specific way of approaching situations. No one is the boss because there are situations where you need to consider the rational approach of the brain whereas there are situations where you would require the empathetic approach towards solving problems or dealing with situations. 

we cannot afford to have a situation where there arises a conflict between the brain and the heart towards taking the lead, it should be a mutual consent with a decision that comes with a yes from both the brain and the heart because a brain cannot work with optimum efficiency if it does not have any support from the heart and similarly a heart may not be able to take decisions if it is not supported by the brainy ideas and logical interpretation that is required in this world to save you from unwanted people and situations. 

There a special touch which only heart can provide to our activities.  Many a times there are things perfectly been made but lack that very special feeling. That is the miracle of doing things with your heart and mind together. It is a fact that mind always asks for a reward of doing great things and if not given its due it does not find any reason of doing it again. It is here where heart becomes the king. Heart derives pleasure from small things. Mere act of indulging in something you love gives you a heartfelt joy and satisfaction to the spirit. It is this very important job of our heart to keep our spirit alive always at all times.

It is very well said that

‘When love and skill work together expect a masterpiece.’

"How to Access- The Success"

 

How to Access- The Success

Success is actually a very common destination as every individual wants to achieve success or become successful. Everybody is running and chasing success like it is the only goal in life. Most of the people associate name, Fame and money with success. It is these aspects that term an individual successful in the modern society. However, want and desire is one thing but actually becoming successful and reaching the pinnacle of performance that brings in success is a totally different aspect.

Success is not accessible to all and in order to make it accessible, there are basically two steps that needs to be followed.

Step 1- Understand what actually success means to you as an individual and as a person

The first mistake that most of the people make is considering success as a common aspect that is same for all. If one individual considers becoming rich as an orientation for success, most probably his/ her friend would also consider becoming rich as success. This is the biggest mistake which we make. We define our success in relativenes to what is success for others. So the first step is to actually realize the meaning of success in our personal life. This step is extremely important because without this realization our efforts would be in wrong direction and we would be focusing towards achievement of things and goals that will not value to us eventually.

Example- There were two friends, one of the friend wanted to earn money and become a successful entrepreneur, so he left his house at the age of 19 and worked really hard to become a successful entrepreneur by the age of 35. However, after getting into business he barely had any time left with him for his family, his parents grew old and he was not able to manage his time between his wife and his parents because of increased workload. Time passed and he realized one day that what is the use of earning if he doesn’t have time for his near ones.

On the other hand, his friend started his own business but at a small scale, so that he could manage it while being at home, so even though he was not able to earn much but the good thing was that he was able to spend time with his family. So by the time he was 35, he was not earning very good, but he was very satisfied with the time he was giving to his family and the moments he spent with his family. He actually did not have any regrets.

Step 2- Prioritize and strategize through reflection and understanding

So it is very important that one should be clear as to what has to be achieved and once this is done the next step is to understand as to how to balance between personal life and professional life. There should be a balance and the quest for excellence and success should not put an individual in a situation where he/she gets frustrated about not giving enough time to personal life as well. It is very important that an individual reflects upon his own personal interests and desires and this would eventually help to get a better understanding and clarity about the personal goals and aspects that would bring in success and personal accomplishment.

One thing that has to be remembered is that Success is not the same for all and that every individual has a different definition for success, what is most important for you is to realize what is Success for you and how would you approach success for you in your life. Once you have an answer to this question, your quest for success would become more clear and achievable while adding contentment to your life as well.

"LONLINESS"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loneliness

Have you ever wondered that in spite of having everything in life a strange feeling of being lonely crept into the mind and makes you feel in a standalone situation with a number of people around you but not even a single individual to stand beside you in all your up’s and downs of life. Have you ever felt that in spite of having so many friends you do not have even a single person to share your thoughts and your feelings with.

Life is just like a race with everybody running for the accomplishment of certain unknown motives. Even the people around you, whom you consider your own, do have certain specific motives to be accomplished from you and you do realize this at some point or the other. When in actual this realization takes place you start feeling really very sad, depressed and lonely. Particularly in case of a woman the things really becomes very difficult.

A woman is indeed the loveliest creation of god who brings love and adds significance to the life of all the people attached to her in some way or the other, but on the other hand she also deserves and needs a lot of care and love from someone very special  in her life but the matter of fact is that most of the woman do not get the deserved love or partner to share their precious feelings and this is the reason that many women feel lonely and this loneliness is no less than an insect which keeps on destroying and eats up all the happiness and joy out of one’s life. This beautiful life could seem like a difficult hill to climb alone and support along with a lot of love is required by every individual on this earth that is how nature has designed human beings.

A Woman plays multiple roles through her lifetime, from a caring daughter to a loving wife and then a responsible mother, a woman spends and dedicates her whole life for the happiness of her family, but meanwhile she neglects herself, people around her make themselves busy in various activities but she is left alone with no one to really care for her and slowly and steadily loneliness hits her and she feels depressed.

Loneliness can have drastic effects on the mental as well as physical health of a woman. The very first outcome of loneliness can be depression which can further lead to severe mental problems and later on a total blunder for her.

The question which arises here is that is it so that a lady has to sacrifice her happiness and freedom for the sake of others? Or is it so that a lady or a woman does not have the right to live her own way? Is it so that she will always have to kill her dreams for the happiness for the happiness of her family?

Loneliness is more a kind of self created problem than rather it is in actual. There is a beautiful saying”Life is Beautiful and the fact is that you have only one life, but if you live right, once is enough” Loneliness could also be defined as the absence of love in one’s life. At times it may happen that you have a big circle of your well wishers around you but not even a single person who really loves you or cares for you.

Women are considered to be more emotional than men are and so it is but obvious that a woman would desperately love to have an emotional intimacy with someone special in her life, but if she does not find it she starts moving towards a direction of social isolation and starts feeling as if she does not deserve love and care. Love indeed has a very intense relation with loneliness, lack of desired love from an individual or a group of people do trigger the feeling of separating one’s identity from this social world and the person starts getting drowned in his/her own set of beliefs and thoughts and this makes the person totally unacceptable by the society.

It is also a proved fact that women feel lonelier than men and this is because woman are more reactive to any kind of emotions as compared to men and so they are more prone towards such kind of emotional outbursts.

As said earlier that loneliness is one of the self created problems and could be solved if you really want it to be solved.  Just remember that you are a woman the best and the most beautiful creation of god on this earth and you deserve each and every happiness you want to have. You should not let your emotions go to the darker side, no matter if you didn’t got the deserved love from the ones you expected, just open your eyes and see, the whole world is yours and it is never too late to start again, Dating online can bring in lots of excitement, love and strength to your life. You never know you might meet the prince of your dreams who will love you more than he loves himself.

Love kills loneliness and this is what you need to do, just love your life and keep the doors of your heart open to let in the man of your dreams, make new friends and let your feelings and emotions get a vent and a way out, share your experiences, thoughts and feelings and do let others share with you.

Give your life a chance and see how your life will present you the love of your life, the one who can do anything to keep this smile everlasting on your face.
