Stepping Outside Your Box

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.”
~Henry David Thoreau


Such wise words.  How many of us go through life and never sing the song within us?


I think it is so sad to meet people who have gone with the status quo, never finding out who they really are and what their passion is.  Making comments like, "Well, if I could, I would do this."  Well, my response is, you can and you should.  You don't know until you try if you can do something and if the desire is there to do it, then why not go ahead and do it?  Of course, then there is the thought that some of us are doers and others of us aren't, and that's what makes the world go around.


I firmly believe there is a reason each of us is put on this earth.  I decided back in my teen years that we don't get to leave this earth until our reason for being  here is fulfilled.  Therefore, some of us leave earlier or later than others.  And, it isn't until we die an earthly death that we find out what the reason was for us being on this earth.


Feel free to try stepping outside of your box and let me know what you did and how it felt, even if it is something you feel is just a small thing.


Have a great day, everyone!
