How can someone Think Out of The Box...???

Question

Do we, as human beings, really know the reasons why do we exist in this world? Why did God create us or why did He choose us?

Guys, have u ever felt bored going through this life? Doing the same activities and meet almost the same people in every single day?
Don’t know why, this time, I’m experiencing that kind of feeling…

And I'm feeling the descent of my life…
The descent of my spirit, of my achievement, of my performance, even of religious services…

I know that’s not good for me…I know it’s bad to have that kind of feeling…

But hey! I’m just a human being… =(

Though I know having that feeling can cause something bad for me, why do I let it grow in me?

I’m scared I can’t stop it…
I feel too comfort to stay in my comfort zone… that what makes me afraid, I’m afraid I can’t get out from my comfort zone…

I hope someday I can think out of the box and leave my comfort zone… hopefully =p

can anybody help me..?
i need some suggestion..

thanks a bunch..

Answer 1

I think you know the definition of " thinking outside the box". This was just a business catch phrase. Every profession uses a lingo, and this term started bouncing around in the late 1980's right after, "brainstorming".

About being bored: I can't say that I am ever "bored" for more than a few seconds, because you can always think of something else to do. This does require effort, but every action is guaranteed to produce a reaction.

When people say they are bored, I really think that they are saying "entertain me". Everyone needs to have the basic ability to entertain themselves. Its not fair to share that burden with every frustration. Most of the great inventions throughout time were created because someone had an idea and decided to use time wisely to pursue the solution.

You can't be a spectator in life. You are either an extra, part of the supporting cast, or starring in the role of you in your own personal life. That includes playing all of these roles at one time or another. You can play your role happy with curiosity or sad and bored. Despite the claims of every self- help book just waiting for your order, there is no magic wand. Every person has to write their own personal owner's manual. But, some rules and guidelines are universal.

One thing that never fails to lift the spirits of a human being is doing something nice for another, while accepting nothing in return.

"Take care of your body. It is the most valuable instrument that you will ever own."

Answer 2

Thinking outside the box will be questioning the existence God, you are feeling the descent because you're living a boring repetitive life where you just accepted what was around you. Instead of thinking is this what Jesus/God wants me to do, you need to be thinking is this making me happy. Try life for a while without a set of certain principles guiding you. You may find it will make you happy again. If it doesn't you can always repent and everything will be back to normal.

Also sorry if I didn't answer that correctly or I just sounded rude, or assumed stuff about you, I'm very tired but I can't sleep. Sorry.

Hi,

you're really asking two questions here (very economical!) your first is pretty well unanswerable, at least in any definitive way, as we don't know why we are here. We don't KNOW (only that some of us believe) that God had anything to do with it, or that there is any underlying purpose in us being here.

However to your second question and far more personal...
Boredom-and how it affects you.

All your secondary questions relate to this and answering that question will resolve your problems.

Do we feel bored? Personally, no! However, to listen to many teenagers the answer is 'always' 'there's nothing to do' 'nobody wants to talk to me' 'I'll sit at my computer and play games' etc. etc.

So...what to do if you feel bored? It is true that most of us need to do pretty much the same thing day after day. We all need to earn a living and prepare food etc. Boring? not necessarily.

Work? Whatever you do for a living it should not be boring. If you deal with people as part of your job you have the opportunity to chat and enjoy the conversations That relieves boredom quicker than almost anything.

If you don't have this opportunity, you possibly have the chance to converse with co-workers? Make the most of the chance.

If you really have no opportunity to do this within the confines of your work, than perhaps you need to look elsewhere for an occupation that excites you, entertains you or busies you so much you forget to be bored?

Religion, of whatever faith, does 'fill the gap' for many people and there's nothing wrong with this, but most happy people, religious or not, are happy before they turn to their faith.

It is rare that you will get an instant answer by turning to God, though, of course if you believe in the teachings you may well get comfort from them.

You say you are scared to get out of your 'comfort zone', why should this be? You say living in it is 'boring', that you are feeling 'the descent of your life', etc. That doesn't sound like much of a comfort zone to me.

So take that step...whether it be a new job or a new hobby, or meeting and making new friends. Do it today!

Depression is a debilitating condition and you do sound depressed (obviously that's not a clinical diagnosis, but you DO sound depressed) and the best way out of it lies within you. Pills and drugs can take away some of the worries but what you really need is a different outlook on life. That comes from being happy with your situation.

If you are not happy with it, then change it. It really isn't so hard to do.

Once you take one decision to go forward, you'll find it easier and easier to find new things each day that excite, entertain, amuse and interest you. Then you will not feel so 'down'.

Without knowing anything about you it is difficult to advise on particular ways forward, but being happy, simply put, means nothing more than being 'content with your lot'.

Please try to lift yourself...it takes just one 'decision' to push yourself towards a rewarding and interesting life.

Good luck,

Thinking outside of the box is to get creative with your ideas, to do something out of the ordinary. Living life in your comfort zone and never stepping out of it is to live a closed in life. I think that is why you must be feeling this way. You have gotten comfortable and bored with your life because it is always the same. Try new things you have never done before. Take a class in something that has always interested you but you haven't experienced yet, take a trip to see a friend, get motivated to live your life to the fullest! You only get one shot at this life so make it the best you can. There is so much out there to see and do. Get excited about life again and you will be amazed at how much happier you will be. Live your life and enjoy it!

Answer 5

You must realize that we cannot be perfect in an imperfect world. Maybe you are becoming depressed and feel like you are running out of coping skills. Also remember that fear is the opposite of love. Try emptying your mind by doing some meditation. Go to the library and find some books that would help you to achieve this peace of mind that you seek. There are some easy reading books as well as tapes to guide you through.

Answer 6

In our lifetime, we always experience this kind of void in our life- this feeling of emptiness. We feel irrelevant, unwanted, unloved, hated, disliked, etc. etc. etc. We feel we are at the bottom and it would be good to end it all. But hey, it's not only you who feels this way. There are a lot of us who do but we don't listen to the voice within dictating to us to let go of the comfort of being loved, being wanted, being cared for. Don't let delusions take hold of your senses. Understand the reasons why you are feeling this way, why have you become delusionary. If you're bored and fed up with the usual events in your life, do something that will not only help your self-esteem but also help others. Do volunteer work, get involved in charitable organizations or enrol in courses that will enrich your life.

Answer 7

Have you ever tried meditation? I know it's not a simple answer, like it'll work in a week but it will work if you practice daily. First of all, you won't be bored. You'll see that it's not "same old, same old" but that everything changes constantly. There is never one moment that has ever been exactly before nor will it ever be exactly the same again. Every moment is precious. Plus, meditating opens your mind to areas you've not explored before so you start to see connections between things that you may not have noticed before. You start to wake up to what was right in front of you the whole time.

Welcome to the Club....
First realize you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Not a human having brief spiritual feelings. God put us here to struggle and serve each other. You sound like your caught in a rut. Break the habit, go and serve others met new people.
Jesus said DO unto others... fear holds us back because we don't know how others will respond. We do know how God will respond Christ tells us in the Beatitudes what our rewards will be. Trust that and get out there and have fun messing it up!

Answer 9

Do something spontaneous. Be original. Stop thinking about what other people would expect you to do and do something way off in left field somewhere.

Ever jumped out of an airplane? That is exhilerating.... Ever go scuba diving? Sounds like fun to me.

Go to another country, even if it is Canada or Mexico, and learn the way they talk. Have fun with it and don't care about what anyone else thinks.

Answer 10

Time to pass to a distinctive wellbeing center, your coach is of course not lots of a coach if he won't paintings with you to strengthen your footwork. start up leaping rope and watch video's on how boxers do it, this may be a solid lesson. If boxing is your dream then save on with it and don't go away each and every individual undesirable mouth you. "detect a clean wellbeing center"!..
