Having started my Blog a few weeks ago now and being committed to taking on my self expression, I have really become in tune with how we human beings become hooked by our inner fears. Our thoughts of, I cannot do rather than I can do. Yet, I see all around me evidence of those that just get on with things with no apparent fears, or so it would appear. Then I get to see that in some areas of life, such as an adrenaline rush, I posses no fear what so ever, yet in just being me in front of certain people, I get hooked by looking good. And yep, end up looking bad, or so I think!

So I created this Blog, to express myself on video, in writing and to simply, put myself out there.

Now what turns up are other blockages. Such as my blog needs SEO, so I have to learn search engine optimisation, I need to learn tagging and categorising. All points that to someone trained or in the know, seems so easy.

So I get to see what must be behind my thoughts and opinions, my action or lack of it, and mostly my results.

Not all self help books can get you off your backside and get you into action, in fact non of them can. But do you know what can?  I found out just recently, it is engaging with other people, finding out that others want to support you. Something as simple as a ‘favourited’ on Twitter illustrates that there are people out there just looking to support anyone that makes a difference, no matter how slight an attempt that you and I make.

How wonderful is that?

My recent experiences with a business partner have really gave me a very poor view of how little support some, so called partners give. How selfish self centred and ignorant some people can be. You might think this a strong view, it is. And you might ask, what do I have to give up to have a different view. In which case you would be correct.

I know I have given all that I can to give my business partner everything he needed to get his job done, I know that he could not have operated as successful as he has down, without me being me. And I thank him for being him, in such a way that, I write this blog. As I am now well and truly out of my box. And it has taken a while!

You see when we play team, partnership and group, there is a part of us that sometimes, has to go back in our box. I had to put away my aggression, that is what got the business started. I had to put away my, ‘it must be my way’, as that had the business stand still. I had to learn new tricks, that I wanted to resist. So putting some of me back into my box, was good.

BUT! And this is the but. I thought that I could never bring those true aspects of myself out again, I thought I had to put them away forever. Yet I didn’t have to at all.

My easy decision would be to castigate myself for keeping certain aspects of me in my box. I could make myself wrong, be found by me to be inadequate and to give reason to so called failure. However, what is failure when you have a pile of cash in the bank and a future that is open, free with all I choose to do ahead of me and free to step outside my box and see what tools in my box I am to use, on my next journey in life

Back to social media and being favourited! Wow, such a simple jesture is beautiful, powerful and engaging. And you know what, I don’t even know those new people who are favouriting my blogs on Twitter. Getting out of my box and looking at all of my human tools that I have sought, bought by training courses, learnt about and just become me by social experience and influence are, an amazing set of tools. And they are mine, unique to me and no other.

What I like and I mean really like, is that my social media favourited connections, are stepping out of their box to reach out. To say “Hi”, to be in contact with me.

So my simple question to fellow bloggers and Twiiter followers, those that stumble across my posting and those that find me in whatever way form at what ever time. Is to reach out for each other, be a person that favourites and follows and takes time to engage with fellow human beings.

We all want to get out of our box, and yes sometimes put part of parts of us back in. So I ask you to share such thoughts below!

My request, is that you learn to play with those parts of you that you put in and get out of yor box at different times. Respond to this blog and tell me what you have done recently and what aspects of you have been put back in or you have got out of your box.

What did you get out of certain aspects, what did you learn, even, what do you need to learn. What joy did you get and what did you do or stop doing?

We all can help and inform each other with our box stories. Share openly, share with passion and be self expressed.

Please comment, please give me your box stories.
