Throw the Box Away…

“Where did that phrase ‘Think outside the box’ come from?” –Innovation speaking in an unimpressed monotone voice…

“I hate (yes…Hate) that phrase ‘Think outside the box’.”-YOUR Dreams

“I was just trying to make you think outside the norm…you know, what is expected…(womp, womp, womp)”-The Box pleading its case

Someone ever give you instructions for what he/she wanted you to do,

Then… you ask for more details (to make sure that you get it right and don’t mess it up)…

And their response is “Think outside the box”???

[Please note: This is not a post about not following instructions or whatever…YOU know that I am too deep for that… “Girl YOU Crazy”]

BUT…

----Why say “that” when you can just answer my question…

Right??? Right….

Side Note: This topic can go in many directions about many things…as do my thoughts so it is written accordingly…but do know that it will involve YOU, Me, We accessing our dreams by putting them into our reality.

First…

(I’m saying “first” here but more than likely there will not be a “second or thirdly, etc.”---Just so you know)

What does “’think outside the box’ even mean????”

1.    That there are actual instructions in place for you, me, we to follow…

2.     We should think beyond what it written/expected…even though the instructions should already say what is expected…

3.    Seems like it means to make up your own instructions…from the instructions---or what is expected…or read the mind of the person who said it…?

4.    I don’t know… does the person who said that even know?…Maybe that’s why there are SO many articles on this…

Hmmm…

WHAT????????????????????

Forget this, I’m throwing away the instructions/box…and figuring this out on my own!!! I do not need this craziness!!!

GYC Personal Story—that will have many “…” so that YOU can feel my pause for frustration:

Some of you may know that I graduated from Parsons The New School for Design…yes the school on Project Runway (that seems to be the fastest way to locate)…

Anyway,

Many of the assignments involved no “box” at all…

Which means there were instructions…well more of a description that WE were expected to…

Interpret the way we see it…and turn in a finished product.

However,

I was new to this process in a school setting, where there is an unknown right or wrong…

Quick GYC Rant about this (you know the drill, run-on sentences and all are expected and excepted here…):

I would get so frustrated because they would not say what was expected and if I was not excited about the possibilities of the assignment, I turned in “whatever”… and it was just a big hot diggidy (yes diggidy) mess!

But after I was continuously put in these situations of frustration, I began to realize the different ways that I think, and understand what my professors were preparing us to do/be…

But why throw out the “box”???

My real moment of “throwing out the box” came from my last design class. There was this one assignment that had nothing to do with the “instructions” my professor gave…the only things I knew for sure was the due date and that it involved sneakers…everything else…up in the air! And he (my professor) thought that was completely normal…figure it out…and turn it in!

After I shared my feelings with everyone that would listen…

I went to the computer lab and stared at the computer for about 3 hours thinking “WHAT, WHY, WHAT, HOW, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!!!???”

Then I said “you know what…???

FORGET THE INSTRUCTIONS/DESCRIPTION/Whatever he thought he gave us!!!”

I let any and all expectation hit the wayside (also, because I didn’t know it) and allowed my imagination to do what it does best…and I turned in the dopest/flyest/coolest/freshest/insert “awesome word” here sneaker advertisement...he thought it was awesome as well (just saying)!

And

My assignments after that involved my own instructions…called let my imagination do what it was designed to do…“show me the unseen so I can create it in my reality.”

And I was graded accordingly…

Best decision I ever made!---HELLO!!!

Let me say this:

When you try to “think outside the box”…YOU are trying to customize something that was already given to you…your ideas don’t come in a box they come from your imagination…the difference is the time and place for when it is used.---Hopefully for living out YOUR OWN Dreams…

*My sneaker ad and presentation did not look anything like anyone else’s…we all came up with something completely different…I mean completely…but we did have a good laugh!!!*

But doesn’t “think outside the box” just mean think beyond what is in front of you, the norm, what people expect?

When you get to Know Yourself…EVERYDAY…

YOU will realize that there is no “box” to think outside of…

The moment you need to discuss…well, compare with someone’s thoughts to create your own thoughts concerning your dreams being in your reality…now you’re inside of their “box”.

Last Thoughts…maybe...

Throw the box away, step outside of what is expected from you…by just being YOU!!!

There is no box to think outside of when there is no box to be compared to…

NOT Keeping Your Eyes on your own paper…that’s when you start having to “think outside the box”

Why???

Because you’re trying to recreate what you have “seen” be successful for someone else…

Versus…

Living out your own dreams that have their OWN path to manifesting success!

"Don’t take the Elevator…" Part 1: I Am Strong because I know who I am (Foundation)

Check out the ENTIRE SERIES...IN A BOOK!!

“You find strength in your foundation… So, whatever YOU put there does matter.”-Someone Wanting YOU to be Strong

 

“A house with no foundation is no house at all but a house with a weak foundation will surely fall.”-Strength

  

It’s safe to assume that we’ve all rode an elevator before at the mall, office, work, school & etc…right??? Ok, cool.

*(If not, send me an email and I’ll think of a “Girl YOU Crazy”…Crazy Creative example of your liking…okay? Okay & back to the story.)*

So we get on this elevator…

And there is always this big man on there asking with an attitude, “what floor are you going to? And what are you going to do on that floor??? Huh? Huh?”

NOPE---NOT AT ALL!!! That Does Not happen & if it does…yea I don’t know (be safe).

BUT Notice that there are no requirements/rules/regulations to press a certain floor. If they let you in the building, you can more than likely “do your thing…” with in reason (you know…legal stuff).  

You can press 3 or 23 and not have to stop in between, or even get on the elevator from the basement and go straight to the top floor…it’s simply a matter of pressing a button, no thought necessary!

Wow, it’s just so easy to get on an elevator and go to any floor, huh?!... If only this post/series was about promoting the elevator and the easy ride to getting what you want…"yea Girl that would be Crazy!!!”

And would Not help you build strength--- at all.

That’s why were talking about taking the stairs/being a step-taker…

Why??

When you take the steps…there is a big difference in how you get from one floor to another.

There may not be any rules but there are requirements:

+1st, YOU must walk… If that means putting on your cute shoes once you get there & wear your sneakers while you walk there…then, So Be It!

+2nd, YOU must climb step by step (2 steps at a time is fine because your legs are not that long…)

+3rd, YOU are allowed to stop, think, observe, get a glass of water, and/or snack in between floors & steps…Don’t be afraid to keep going or stop and enjoy.

“Life is a process…don’t try to rush it, submit to it.”

Taking the stairs will build a foundation that says “it’s going to take more than one lil setback to make me step-back…to where I first started or even before I took my first step.”

Unlike the elevator…one press/push up…one down and only emergency stops allowed.

But to warn you of the opposing/negative Nellies (unisex)/naysayers/nothing else to do but be negative & discourage you folks…let me say this (if you don’t already know):

When building YOUR own foundation you’ll find that some will say

+It doesn’t take all that to get there…'so and so' didn’t do all of that and they’re just fine…

+It will take forever to get there and when you get there you’ll be thinking 'all that time just for this'…

            -“I started at the bottom and it took me a long time to be here, it takes like 20 years to be successful doing this…so I don’t know if you really want to do this.” (Girl Shut UP---by the way this is what someone told me about 1 of my dreams…I’m a fighter, so I keep on fighting!!! Hello!)

Recognize This:

            Sometimes we’re given a foundation and we don’t even know it and other times we blatantly/deliberately/straight up decide to skip the steps, and get on the elevator just because it was offered and exciting.

“Sometimes we let excitement tell us to forget the steps…Girl YOU Crazy.”

Steps/Stairs will build a foundation and...

Foundation builds

+Strength as it allows you to stand on solid ground

+A fight in you that won’t quit when opposition/negativity knocks

+Knowledge of knowing Who You Are, Your purpose and Where you’re going

**Your foundation gives you something to stand on and for…it anchors you to be positioned & focused on living out your dreams by helping you/me/we to grow.**

GYC Reflective Rant…yes it is all pretty much one sentence (run-on, Run-On):

You can watch people who have been through so much and are still going through it…but will tell you not to feel sorry for them because what’s going on in their life is just the surface, and the fact that they’re still standing has everything to do with their foundation…Its their strength that says tomorrow will get better, keep pushing, keep moving forward, the best is yet to come but when you take that elevator, you miss all the fighting steps…you miss the process, you get dependent where you should be independent.

GYC Commentary-Last Thoughts:

++The Process, Steps, Stairs are not to keep you from getting to your dreams... faster but make sure you can endure, stand on solid ground and know what you’re talking about.

++Just like that elevator can take you up…there is nothing stopping it from taking you down…just one push and it’s like you never started.++

++Sometimes it may look like you’re on an elevator because all your hard work is paying off but pay attention, that’s your foundation telling you to “stand strong… YOU deserve to be here.”

“Don’t wait till you’re so far gone to go back to the basics, start with the basics by taking the stairs.”

I’m strong because I know who I am.

Introduction: Don’t Take the Elevator…be a step taker

Check out the ENTIRE SERIES...IN A BOOK!!! Welcome to the “Don’t Take the Elevator” Series

For Dreamers of their own dreams

& Tempted by the elevator

Introduction: Don’t Take the Elevator…be a step taker

“Take the steps, it’s good for the body & soul.”-A determined mind ready to fight setbacks

“Just like the elevator can take you up with one button, it can take you down with one button…be a step-taker.”-The truth

“When you take the steps, a set-back is only a step back but it’s up to you to move forward.”-The Steps

Sometimes we think that people are turned into celebrities and/or success stories over night, given our dreams without a fight, living the life we want with no sacrifice, given fame and influence with rehearsed/practiced/fake passion.

Well at least that’s what we sometimes think…

(It’s cool; you’re not by yourself…)

Then we’re tempted to “Think” we want the same things…

Sometimes we talk about people being one-hit-wonders, not knowing that they’re built to last…while those we love, adore and thought would be here forever are actually the one-hit-wonders (crazy huh!).

Whether you have intentions of being a one-hit-wonder (probably not), there is a process/ steps to take that make you built to last and keep you dreaming new dreams, and walking worthy & deserving!

But why write about this…and in a series???---"Girl YOUCrazy"

This is not a new subject/topic but it gets brushed off so much, especially when we get frustrated, a lil negative, “why me? Why me?” about our dreams and our dreams not being in our reality, and looking at others thinking that “I want this more than they do, how did they get there? And why am I not there?” Also, I’ll admit, I’ve had “not keeping my eyes on my own paper” thoughts and to push through is a process that I’m going to talk about…so let’s talk!

What YOU might be thinking---“Yea I hear what you’re saying and all but_______”

Defeating Crazy with Courageous: Let an Idea Marinate

Past Tweet from @GYCGirlYOUCrazy: “Sometimes there are #Crazy ideas but don’t dismiss them, you might be the person to help it out! #FindTheRoot #DefeatCrazyWithCourageous”

“An idea is a precious gift given through your mind & imagination… AND sometimes the logical side of you just can’t comprehend…Get Over It and RECEIVE It!”-YOUR Ideas Defending Itself

What good is a gift if you never open it? What good is potential if you never use it?

& What good is an idea if you never develop it and give it a chance to grow?

Does this sound a little familiar??? “So YOU Dreamed it…” Well, keep reading!

How many times have we had ideas that we put aside because:

a. It might take too much time

b. It might not work out

c. It might not this, that…

Or

d. This is CrAzy, I just canNOT see myself doing that???

(You may take a moment to think…

And we’re back!) Sometimes we let/allow/okay the “Girl YOU Crazy” face dictate/decide the dreams and desires we choose to go after, instead of being bold and courageous…defeating crazy.

Hmmm…Our ideas ain’t (that’s right, I said “ain’t”) crazy…they just need a little questioning and courage!

Open up your ideas with questions & research! SO Ladies, Let’s play GYC’s version of “20 Questions”...

16 Questions with your idea & the prize is: Defeating Crazy with Courage (Taking the Next Step w/ YOUR idea)! *Quick Note* “It” means your idea(s) because only you know or can figure out its identity… others may help to get/lead/guide you to the “questionable open door” but hey, you have the key! Also, these questions are in no particular order…do you & be honest, this is your business, not anyone else’s:

+Who can it influence?

+What can it change? What will it change?

+What will it bring?

+If it was to happen now, how would your life change?

+What came before it? What can or will come after it?

+Who needs it? Why do _______ (fill-in-the-bank) need it?

+Is this something you will be proud of? Would you tell the world about it or want/let someone else to take the credit?

+Are you passionate about it right now? Or do you think you might be passionate about it later?

+Do you wish your idea(s) were in your reality?

+Is it something that you would want to pass on, leave a legacy that lives on?

+Does it involve you using your voice, and taking a position that others may or may not agree with?

+Do you have peace when you’re thinking about it or are you anxious?

+Can you work at it while still living life? “Work at life (the life you want), while still living life.”

+Will the world understand it like you do? Do you care if everyone else understands it? Does it depend on everyone understanding it?

+Will you defend it …when everyone else says, “let it go”?

+How or Why do you think you were given this idea?

If you can answer just ONE of these questions honestly and with passion, I know that you and your idea have the boldness to be courageous and develop this “thing” till it’s in your reality or let it go knowing that you have greater ideas to pursue (you decide).

Dismiss no idea but question it with courage and boldness…it could be an important part of your purpose, dream, goal, & desire…you never know what will happen!

Don’t let your idea go at the hand of the “Girl YOU Crazy” face…your idea is worth so much more than that!!! Okay? Okay.

So You Dreamed it...What's Next?

 

 “A dream is but a dream until YOU decide to make it YOUR reality.”-Someone wanting you to succeed at the right thing

That moment, that age when you said what you wanted to be…then you (actually) did it!

“Mom, Dad, Sis, Bro (whomever!),

- I want to be a singer…(and you started singing into the hairbrush & holding backyard concerts)

- I want to be an engineer…(and you started breaking things around the house to build new things)

- I want to be a veterinarian…(and you would attempt to bring home all the wandering neighborhood animals)

- I want to be a ____________(fill-in-the-blank)…and you did it!“

Remember that? You didn’t wait for everyone to give his or her opinion before you pursued, you just went for it!

Quick/Short Personal note:

I know that I’ve had many “I want to be Moments” when I said it, then I did it but as I got older... I dreamed it, thought about it, then I forgot, something reminded me of it…and repeat. After I graduated, I looked time in the eye and realized those dreams that I thought I had forgotten were important/significant to the life I live and pursue now… I call them stepping-stones.

 After having a reality check, “putting pride aside and looking in the mirror,” I began to take every interesting thought, dream, idea, and requests from others as an introduction to the different possibilities and/or levels of me that I needed to accept!

Hey! Life is A Process!!!

Know this!--- If you dreamed it, you now owe yourself & your imagination (the birth place of your dream) an attempt at living your dream.

+Research it

+Google it

 +Borrow a book on it…

That will only cost you (wait for it…)…

TIME! (that’s all)

No matter the dream or desire, there is always something more to be learned. Talent may open the door but knowledge will keep the door open and allow for more opportunities.

And if it doesn’t work out…So What! Life isn’t over and that is not failure… call it Experience &…DREAM A NEW DREAM!

**When you begin to attempt your dreams whether past or present, you never know what the bigger dream or purpose is that your imagination is trying to get you to see/understand. Be open to being a “Jane of All Trades!”**

So YOU Dreamed it… What’s Next?

   You can “Work at life while still living life” but

-- Don’t let your dream die by not letting it grow.

My Dream is Mine and Yours is Yours

“Stop trying to live your life through ______(fill-in-the-blank), you have your own!”

&

“You have big shoes to fill!” Response: “No I don’t! I have MY OWN!”

 -The inner you telling negative Nellies (unisex) to SHUT UP!

So often, we are born with expectations. A dream given and not birthed, actions always seeming to fall short, close but not quite! It seems like we’re always trying to prove naysayers wrong with our forced actions…

Taking a look back at “Put Pride Aside and Look in the Mirror,” I’m reminded of the few to many times we’ve become something that we were never intended to be, and looking in the mirror (self-evaluation), we realized (quiet or in a scream, as a thought or out loud) “This is NOT my dream or HOW to get there!”

“Trying to live out someone’s dream, imagination or desire is like trying to walk in shoes that are too big…you fall!” –The Truth

It seems like every dream or goal of significance I’ve had was packaged real tight with opposition, and didn’t stand a chance if I didn’t fight to keep them! I’ve watched people give in to negative comments, allowing the expectations of others to become the instructions on “how to live Your life successfully”… And people’s failed dreams find new hope in others that resemble them!...Sound familiar???

This story will have NO enthusiasm, just Truth:

I ran track in middle and high school, went All-State with my relay team… as a result my father wanted me to continue this as long as I could, as in go to college and continue to run track. Pause here (*important note*): I’ve been designing since the 5th grade with aspirations of becoming a fashion designer, and the only college that I wanted to go to since then (if college was a must) was Parsons School of Design (where you design the track, not run on it (for sport)).

Back to the story: I received great opposition in doing well in this sport and not wanting to continue, “Many people don’t do well in sports and wish they could be in your shoes,” my response “Do they/you want to trade?!” After going All-State, I discontinued running track, and I put on the full body armor & boxing gloves to fight for my dream, the reality I want to be in. I decided that my dream was more important than pleasing any noun (you know: person, place or thing)!

To be clear: I ran track because

+ I was good at it… NOT passionate about it

+You get metals & attention

+My teammates were funny

+My picture will be on the Wall of Fame at my high school as long as that building exist

++At that time, Not now…”It was all about me!” (Which is dangerous!)++

But what was beyond me and held my deepest desires is to be a fashion designer and help businesses (before, after, and during). I kept fighting, came, saw & graduated from Parsons School of Design’s (BBA) D+M Business program, and the fight continues!

I don’t regret defending my dream.

Let me say this: We were all created to do something great, whether it impacts 1 or 100 Million! Don’t let the fact that someone else didn’t get to live out their dream/desire/imagination become the reason you change or don’t live yours.

Each and every dream, talent and desire within you is designed especially for YOU and no one else can accomplish it but YOU! No guilt, no shame or dirty looks is worth making someone else proud, when you are not proud or passionate about what you create, achieve and present to the world.

YOU don’t owe anyone’s dream achievement but your own!

GYC Girl YOU Crazy...Welcome (text version)

 

“The imagination allows access to the things unseen and yet to be!”-Your Imagination

Have you ever thought the wildest thought, imagined the most amazing situation, and dreamed your biggest dream?

Then thought about it again, and said,

-“No”

-”Never”

-”I can’t believe this”

-“That would never happen to me”??

           

So you call up your friend, talk to your parent(s) and/or anyone that catches your attention, and you begin to reveal/unveil/release/share this vision that you had and their response is “Girl YOU Crazy” (in whatever manner, shape or form). Laughing it off, you agree by saying, “yea you’re right” or “why did I tell you?”

 As you keep thinking about it, there seems to be signs of it everywhere, you begin to investigate this wild vision but as you attempt/try/train for this vision to be in your reality, the comment that you laughed off “Girl YOU Crazy” screams, “I can never make this happen, it was just a dream, thought or so unlike me to achieve…nevermind, I can’t do it,” and you never finish it, or even start it.

What’s crazy is that the most playful or simplest response that we thought we laughed/brushed off can be the most significant deciding factor of whether or not we go after our heart’s deepest desire. It can determine that it’s not worth your time to try it out or even see if you could win, because odds are you are just going to fail. This voice replaying in your head “Girl YOU Crazy” and now you’re starting to agree.

GYC Girl YOU Crazy exist as an inspiration source, outlet, hand up, support, testimonial release location, fuel station, dream builder, reminder of purpose… whatever you need to move forward and see your dreams, desires of your heart as a reality or help/support to remember or dream a new dream.

We often forget in the midst of discouragement, the root of which our vision was birthed, our imagination. When we change our perspective and connotations of frequently used/ popular phrases, sayings or subjects that have discouraged us in the past & present, we can finish or start anything with confidence and expectation as our imagination has free range.

GYC Girl YOU Crazy: Flipping the meaning of something playful that can discourage, keeping it playful but using the phrase as fuel to accomplish/complete/finish and live your dream with great expectation & a smile!

Your Imagination is the one of the most amazing places to be (at any age)…
