We are not determined by our experiences, but the meaning we give experiences is self-determining.
Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it - turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself, so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material & use it to achieve its goal.
'Me versus everybody' systems can actually be the most simple to change because when I change the whole system improves, and in this case, multiple systems improve. It's a rare circumstance in life where so much is in your control.
What is The Box?
The Box is your known world where things make sense. But when was the last time you stepped out of your box & into a new one? Where you had the feeling a whole new world, unexplored, was at your fingertips? It may have been your first time in a new country where you experience a deep culture shock, a new job where the people & environment are vastly different, or learning about a new theory, physical or technological, that completely shatters your original worldview.
This can happen through hobbies, career, or any situation really, in which you discover there is more than just your Box - a magnificent moment where you step into an even larger box discovering new opportunities for learning. When you were young, your Box may have been your home. Then slowly it expanded to your neighborhood block, the nearby park, another country, a new theory, a new concept. Every time we expand beyond our Box we can't actually go back since we have experienced something new and will naturally use this information to reflect on other new experiences.
Reflect on a pinnacle moment of your life and you may discover that when you found a new Box it directed your life in vastly new ways than if you had not stepped outside your Box.
