Are You Trapped in a Glass Box?

We all have our autobiography written in our minds. We know what has happened in our life; successes and failures. We know where we are in this moment; with hopes and fears. We also know where we want to be in the future.

In the story of our life, the main character, or our belief of who we are, has been created by life experiences, and how we want to be perceived. We all label ourselves. I am a _____, that likes ______. I have been a_______, and will be a _______.

There are times when our concept about who we are will keep us from seizing opportunities that lead to the next level in our lives. We put ourselves in a glass box; if you stay in that comfort zone long enough you will miss the bus that is going to opportunity.

Change is necessary in life. We cannot progress and achieve our goals by always staying in the comfort zone. There are times when you must try something “out of the box” in order to achieve your goals.

What if you really are a _______? What if the road to your success travels through ______, instead of ______?

When you are at a crossroads in your life, it is sometimes difficult to see which direction to take when your perception of who you are conflicts with one of the paths.

It is important to define your beliefs about yourself and determine which are true and which have evolved from expectations over the years. The task of making life’s choices will be easier with a clear concept of who you are and what you want out of life.
