Box
People will often tell you in life
That there is a box
That box usually involves
Money, jobs, family, bills, etc.
But one thing a child doesn't understand
Is the metaphor
The box isn't real
It's just simplified, a place for everything
But since the child doesn't understand the metaphor
The box doesn't exist
That's what makes thinking "outside" the box
So easy for children
If only we kept this premise as we got older
But we are told over and over
The box exists
Yet, nobody can ever seem to find the box
Or proof of the box either
It's a mental block that we have created
To limit ourselves
It's why some of us never reach our potential
We go to our nine to five jobs or whatever hours we work
And we often stay there
Not moving up or down really
Just fixed in place
But a child moves because it has freedom
They can move up and down and left and right
Without much thought
Again
