Everyone belongs

Today I did some meditation in a quiet room with only my thoughts and vision.  You'd be surprised at how much creativity comes up when you isolate yourself from dis-tractable technology (Is this even a word?)  It's Friday so I'm not going to delve too deep in a topic because I want to get out there and enjoy this summer weather as much as you all!

We've all been assigned to a box and role as long as we can remember.  

If you were the tall kid who was coordinated you were the "Athlete."

If you were the pretty girl with attitude, you were "the diva."

If you were good with computers, you were "the nerd."

The fascinating thing is, where are the groups for the kid who wears glasses and isn't high achieving?  
What about the tall kids that are absolutely horrible at any physical sport, let alone walking in place.  

Not everyone can be put in a box nor do they want to be put in a box. Still, boxes are good.  You can store like minded things in boxes.  People in these boxes share a story.  People that swear their life on Cross-fit all have one common goal and its being better than they were the day before.  These boxes or "Culture organization's" do a great job of inviting people and letting them find their way to tell their story.

I guess I can embrace that there is nothing wrong with being put in a box.  They seem to help and embrace change.


The ambitious side of me wants to have my own box that I can share with like minded people.  Then, those people can think outside my box and form new boxes.
