Thinking Outside the Box

Thinking outside the box

I learned that you have various options at every situation you encounter, it’s up to you to best strategize

Thinking outside of the box

I wish I was better at this! I’ve spent a lifetime thinking I only had two choices - one good, the other bad, in every situation. After listening to this story, I think I’ll try something different.

Think outside the box

This story is a very important thing to know in life. I feel very moved by this story because it came to my attention that you don’t always have to follow the only choices you thought of or were giving. You could think outside the box for a better choice

Think outside the box

I learned that things are not always as they seem. If you are approached by a problem that are first seems like there are only two solutions, there is always a hidden message behind it. Look beyond the surface before making a meaningful decision.

Thinking Outside the Box 📦

This was perhaps my favourite meditation I have done thus far. Such a creative story illustrating how there is always a way to think outside the box and be smart about things. Another important lesson I learnt was that sometimes there are actually more options out there than we realise... sometimes we just have to invent the solutions ourselves. How deeply inspiring and clever this story was! I shall revisit!

Letting go lightens me and I have much more energy.

I don’t have to feel trapped by someone else’s intent or manipulation. I may be able to think outside the box finding a solution allowing the manipulator to save face yet retreat.

Loved it

This story makes me feel like I can overcome anything! The outside of the box thinking needs to happen in my life more. I need to assess the situation and not back down.

I always have options

I have a problem that I’m slowly working on and that is always choosing options that aren’t good for me over ones that are best for me. I know there are better paths for me to make me happier but I always take the opposite hoping to be the right one in the end

Always a way

Even when options seem dire you can still overcome a hard situation by thinking outside the box. Do not choose resentment, do not choose to give up.

Critical thinking

We always have multiple choices when faced with with decisions. It’s when we think we have no way out that often times the salvation we seek is there right before us. Such a powerful lesson in a wonderfully short story.

Thinking Outside the Box

I really liked this one, I was surprised by the end too, wouldn’t have thought of that!

Creativity will out

The daughter’s quick thinking saved herself and her father, AND provided an equitable solution for the loan shark. To quote Jurassic Park: “clever girl”! My life and career is all about solving issues for clients with fun creative solutions! I LOVE helping people, especially in unique creative ways! I CAN’T hardly wait for the opportunity to get back to my chosen job, soon!

Story

Again, not sure this idea of ‘meditation’ is the one I’m looking for when I’m sad or stressed..but I concentrated on the story..so let’s say that it worked this time maybe?

August 8 | new start

This was so interesting, it made me want to think outside the box because I’m not limited. I have a million different options and I just need to know that anything is possible. The situation that I have is: I’ve been best friends with this guy for so long and basically I’ve hurt him emotionally, and he doesn’t trust me anymore, because I’ve promised him so many times that I wouldn’t hurt him anymore and he just can’t trust that things will change this time and for the last time. I feel so stuck like no matter what happens he will never believe me. Then I watched this and I need to think of other ways to show him, I’m not limited to always saying stuff rather I could actually do something about it....i just don’t know what yet

Thinking outside the box

This story explained that the best way isn't always the most obvious one and that if you think outside the box you can come up with a solution that might be the best of them all.

Thinking outside the box

I learned that sometimes although it may seem like the choice is not ours to make, there is always another solution..

Nothing is impossible

Listening to this story, I thought the girl had no good choices. I never imagined what she actually did. This was a good reminder for me to think outside the box especially when you don’t think any of your options are good.

Wow

I never would’ve thought of that solution. Whenever I face problems I try to stop and breathe for a moment before I decide what to do. Stress will trick your brain into thinking you have to solve the problem right then and there. Sometimes you do, but most of the time if you relax and think of everything you could possibly try to fix something instead of picking the first thing you think of, the result will be much better. I say to myself, “what’s the WORST thing that can happen if I don’t find a solution RIGHT AWAY?” Pause then think outside the box.

Outside the box

I learnt that thinking outside the box can be a better option than choosing from the options you are given

Amazed

How interesting it was to hear of the way the daughter thought. How she responded and thought outside of the box.

Open-minded

Day after day I keep thinking that being open-minded is the best thing in every situation.

Smart Girl

The author has a good point. We don’t always just have the options that we’re given, if we think hard enough or as she says, think “outside the box” we can always add more options to fix any obstacles that may come into our path!

Clever story

I enjoyed listening to a story with a clever moral that is helpful during life. "Thinking outside the box"; so simple, yet a difficult skill to develop, but knowing there is always another path to take on a situation, is helpful on having confidence and courage to conquer a challenging problem.

gud i shud focus on important and big things tgat matters for my happiness not the little thing that

I m going to focus on the things that matters for my happiness that will make me happy not the little things that make me serious and cry .

Thinking Outside the Box

I learned that not only can you think outside the box and come up with another solution, you can do so with grace and humility.

Thinking outside of the box

Lately I’ve been feeling very stressed. The story help me relax and calm down. It also reminded me not to stick to the only ideas I think that I have. It reminded me too step outside my comfort zone and do what I need to do to fix things. Always remember there’s always another way.

Thinking outside of the box

I resonated with this. This is the way I think but too often I feel I should stay in the box. But I should stay true to myself above all else.

One of the vest

Out of the box thinking give a hope in any and all situations. Just open the door to new possibilities. How freeing and peace bringing. Namaste

Amazing...

Amazingly insightful story!! Loved it!! My top 7 learns: 1) things are not always as they seem 2) never give up hope 3) stay aware at all times what is going on 4) pay close attention to business people 5) keep your wits about you & Think! 6) stay in the moment 7) think outside the box - especially when your future is directly involved! ❤️☮️🍀

thinking outside the box

i learned that God would not place us in a tough situation if we were not able to overcome it

faith

this short story was the perfect reminder to have faith. It was a good way to remember that new paths can still show up late in the trail. you are never stuck and out of luck.

Slow down

In this fast paced, hectic world we often lose sight of the larger picture. We're moving so fast so constantly that we forget there are always multiple ways to solve a problem. This story is a great reminder that you're never stuck in one path or another. You can always make change in your life.

Dislike

A story describing women as objects to be sold is not calming.

Thanks

Even though I was expecting a breathing exercise to help me sleep, the story helped me take my mind off of the things that were keeping me awake.

Clever

I enjoyed this story and I admire the girl’s creativity and witty maneuver to achieve her goals (helping her father and freedom from an arranged marriage). It’s amazing to think about the potential of the human mind. Accomplishing goals are well within our reach.

I felt relaxed but she kills the vibe by ending so abruptly.

I can escape whenever I need time for myself. I feel free and I can block all the outside noise and focus on calmness and peace.

i

i learned about out of the box or innovative thinking and just how powerful it is. this is something that i have to remember and practice.

Out of the box...

Thinking is not always what it seems. Stop. Think. Reflect. Act. Do this more often then not and you will make good decisions

Thinking out side the box

It’s okay to think outside the box and being open minded to things

Outsmarted

I learned that there’s limit. Just because you’re given a few options, doesn’t mean you can create your own

Out of the box

It is always beneficial to explore all of your options even the ones that might not be obvious to you at first.

You have to think outside the box and don't thinkn you're stuck with only one option

I could do more to think outside the box! I could come up quickly with a way to get out of hard daunting situations.

pebbles

i learned that i have more than one choice and i can overcome anything.

Always...

There’s always a way to skin that cat! you just have to be willing to look for it.

Thinking outside the box

I really learned that there are other options if we think outside of the box to witty solutions. I do t think I would have thought of that solution, but glad I hear this story. Good lesson.

03.17.2019/18h04

There is always a way. You just need to think beyond the problem. Look in your toolbox. See which tools are available to you. Use them wisely and appropriately.

Other options

There are other options, not the obvious ones, that can be used for a problem. They may not be obvious but use your mind to think outside the box.

it's not bad

this story is okay, but it could be better! it helped me a little bit!

Creativeness

We may have endless options for whatever we face in life. A little creativity can go a long way.

Wow

Honestly that relaxed me more than I thought possible. It was very calming and soothing somehow.

Me

I learned I need to think outside of the box more and think of my actions before I do them

This inspired me

I learned that I should think outside of the box and be smart

Journey

Know that there are always more options. I am not confined to just what I see

I noticed that there were also even more options she could’ve picked after she noticed the two.

There are many other options than the ones that you see at first

Thinking Outside of the Box

I learned that even though it may seem as you only have certain options to pick from, and none of them satisfy you, there is always another way of thinking outside the box. Have an open mindset, not a fixed one.

Learning

Although people may be dishonest and have evil intentions I’ve learned the thing to do is wish them well and move on to prevent harboring hate which can cause more damage to myself and those around me. M

Hope out side the box

I learned that sometimes never giving up hope will help you "think" more clearly.

Thinking with your Mind

I learned that you need to think before you do anything and to choose the right thing always.

Thinking outside the box

I learned that although people can be dishonest you need to ignore or you need to ignore The fact that they’re lying.

Out of the box thinking

What an interesting story! The girl was very clever. It's a challenge to sometimes find the out-of-box option in a situation. I like this idea, though.

wtf is a loncha

I don't understand nothing seriously I mean l o n c h a what does that even mean. Also her accent is terrible I don't understand it

What I learned

I learned that you dont always have to choose between things,you can be creative and do things your own way.

made me calm

I learned that there can always be a way out no matter what❤

I felt calm and relaxed

There is always more than one way to achieve a goal, and that if you really believe in overcoming something more options will become available to you, you just have to look harder for them.

Hi

I mean it wasn’t bad I gave it four stars🤷‍♀️I feel like this could help me with the way I look at life which is thinking that I’ll grow up to be a drone and have emotional trauma forever, but probably not.

My first time using the app

Even when going through a tough situation. You can always make the outcome something that will benefit you and the people around you

First try

The narrator of the stories stumbles and the stories aren’t good. The story therapy types stuff is dumb

May 13th

I learned perseverance is necessary in order to overcome a difficult matter, but you need to be creative with my solutions in order to solve my problems. Furthermore, my fate belongs to me when the odds are stacked in my favor or against me.

Interesting

I just realized that if I put a little more time into thinking, i wouldn't have it so hard.

Hmm

I learned that I need to become a more creative thinker to solve my problems

5/5

I learned that you shouldn't have to sacrifice yourself for someone. Just think outside of the box and you wont have to!

Learning.

I learned that thinking outside the box is the best way to solve a problem sometimes. :)

Good

We should always think outside the box sometimes and we may find better answers than to what our gut tells us to do

Options

I learned that more options could be possible, rather than the ones visible. Always looks for better ways to improve the future, rather than what options people give you.

Bad Thoughts

I learned that I need to stop only seeing the bad option when situations arise. There are always other solutions more positive!

I learned that you should not be push to where you don’t wanna be or do

Calm

I learned that you can always have troubles but finding a way to overcome them is the hardest part

Love this!

I have thought about this story a lot since first hearing it. It is an amazing story and it really got me to thinking about certain life situations we get “stuck” in

I felt clearer, my mind was taken elsewhere as I watched the tale unfold in my head.

If you have a clear mind and stay calm, it is easier to overcome a problem.

Awesome Story

In all situations, there's always a positive way out. It's just your decision how you look at it.

Thinking outside the box

I think we need to be sharp & quick thinking , because there are so many people that will take advantage of you or a situation!

I felt inspired

I learned that there are more ways to deal with things than it might seem

better

I am moving around my heavy furniture and I've been having some trouble doing it so it has definitely helped me think about an easier solution on carrying and moving these heavy items around.

day 1 thinking outside of the box

I feel less trapped to my options on my actual reality now, feel little positive

it's a start

I feel... better. idk how but I feel good. its suprises me. ok..ok let's see how this turns out. at first I was sceptical but I'm interested.

eye opening

this broadened my perspective on the choices brought upon me. don’t just go off of the obvious choices being given. think outside the box and come up with different alternatives.

The moral of the story is something I can learn from because I tend to over think.

I learned that if I become overwhelmed by unfortunate and unfair situations by overthinking and make irrational decisions. Irrational actions and decisions making can cause an even more stressful outcome than taking that issue or conflict less overwhelming and come up with reasonable outcomes for the better for all parties involved but mostly for my own happiness because at the end of the day I have to live with myself everyday and to cause stress and unnecessary anxiety/drama/depression isn’t going to make my life better in any way.

Relaxing

I learned that I can relax better without moving and squirming a lot

What I learned

I learned that I don't have to pick from the obvious choices, but I can pick one that is outside the box

Deciding

I have trouble making decisions. I learned that, sometimes, I can make my own choices to choose from and get the outcome I want.

Thinking outside the box

I learned to always think outside the box and not just going the easy way out x

thinking outside of the box

i learned that there is always another way to do something. you just have to think outside of the box to figure it out.

Limits

I learned that my own sadness not only would have blunted the kind of creativity illustrated in the story, but also the I would have either crudely exposed the deception or simply acquiesced to being trapped.

Black/white pebble

I learned that there is never only one way to do things and that to be smart, u need to think outside the box

Pessimistic

Good story but knowing my luck there isn’t a third option

Fear

I don’t wanna expose anyone but I also don’t want the same thing to happen to anyone. I would have refused to pick

Fear

I can overcome anything if I think outside the box, and not let fear drive me.

Thinking outside the box

I felt that story was a bit confusing. I kinda get how the moral was related, but the ending still confused me.

Outside the box

think beyond the ordinary, there often are options nobody would normally consider

outside the box

I should not be bound by what society does have to carve my own path.

Outside the box day 1

I learned that there is always another option and to be calm and don’t let other people get the better of you

I tried really hard to concentrate on this story really couldn’t focus

We must think outside the box and think more to get what we want

Limiting believes

No matter what u think is your Path, you can always change it!...

Sometimes I feel stuck in my situation.

I learned that I need to think of new ways to overcome my situation.

I felt calm during this and hopeful

I learned there will always be another solution to a problem if u chose to think outside of the box

Hope

I learned that hope can come in unexpected ways. The choices you face do not have to be your answer and sometimes mistakes create opportunities.

This passage it was amazing to say

I learned it has known how to feel around what happens to you in you’re life time.

Reminder

My first listening experience was very related to my experience as a buisnessman. I often feel trapped in certain thinking, but I can reframe my perspective and think outside the box.

Stay Focused

I learned that it’s important to be calm rather than anxious in stressful situations so that your mind is free to see the solution and to be alert and observant of the conduct unscrupulous people.

I felt accomplished.

I felt like I finally meant something and now so knew that I could use more efficient problems to solve more harder problems.

I didn’t really understand the story

I learned that u can always go thro a hard situation ur in and u don’t have limited amount of options and u can always think outside of the box but I coudnt sleep and that didn’t make me sleep

my mood today wasn't that good

i learned that there's always another choice when you think outside the box.

Whelp...

Is anyone actually getting helped by this? I’ve been in bed for hours tossing and turning with this app on and still nothing...

The story helped me escape my space

I learned that, I need to stop focusing so much on my self and my bubble.

Think outside the box

I learned be aware of the resources which surround you a don’t let someone else choose your fate

Outside of me

I noticed that

This story was both fun and interesting( it also shows that you should not cheat)

June 5th, 2019

I learned that during a stressful situation, sometimes there are more options than you think. It’s good to think outside the box.

Don’t settle

Go beyond your expectations and outside your comfort zone. Life’s too short, but amid the commotion, stop to think. I will take chances that may open doors to new opportunities.

I love this one ❣️

This little story actually went with the title and it gave good advice 👍🏾👍🏾

Thinking outside the box

You don’t always have to go with the option that your left with, it’s not the only option you have, there’s always other options or ways you can deal with a problem.

Options

There are always more options then meets the eye. what are my options.

You can get through any obstacle

You can get yourself out of difficult situations and outwit anyone who underestimates you

Think creatively

There are so many more options than you think... get creative. Find your passion.

Reflecting on thinking outside the box

I have the power to choose the way I approach situations in my life if I stop to think outside of the box.

Great

Great I honestly felt that Idk how much I need to write to post this lol

Thinking Outside The Box

One could overcome any struggle throughbthe power of the mind.

Great Story Great Message

I learned that it pays to calmly think a situation through. There may be a good choice which isn’t immediately obvious.

Thinking outside the box.

The story tells us to look above the bothersome hurt or harm you are facing and search for a solution to the entirety of the problem. The solution in this tale took care of the honest ones and for that time, protected them from the dishonest person.

Never stop brainstorming solutions

I learned that sometimes the best solution to a problem that seems cut and dry is one you haven’t thought of yet. It’s all too easy for me to get focused on something that’s stressing me and get locked into a single set of solutions, none of which I like. But sometimes the best solution to soothe my anxiety may be one I have yet to think of.

how i feel

i learned that i liked this story. i also learned to think outside of the box sometimes

Thinking Outside the Box

I’ve been thinking that I have a lot of opportunity out there. I’ve been caging myself in and I need to go out and do something about it.

Thinking Outside the Box

I’ve been thinking that I have a lot of opportunity out there. I’ve been caging myself in and I need to go out and do something about it.

out of the box

I should reflect in my options and my responses and see what I'm missing from my options.

Options

I learned that even in the toughest situations there maybe options you haven’t thought of yet so just go with it and see what happens. To me that seems better than not even trying to change the outcome. Also that overthinking can make you miss out on options right in front of you.

Options.

Just because I see everything as darkness, maybe there’s some way to reach the light if I can think outside the box.

Sometimes there is a third choice. Things needn’t be binary

Journal Entry After My 1st Session

I learned that by taking a few peaceful minutes for yourself each day to listen to nature and interesting stories, you can become a much more peaceful, wise, considerate person overall. After just one session, I can tell this app seems very worth it.

There is often a more creative solution than meets the eye.

Peace

I learned that you can find peace in the truth even when you think you can’t.

Work

I learned that I haven’t choices...don’t let others try to fool you into something you have to do so you can enjoy your freedom

Thinking outside the box can create opportunities you never knew about. Things are not as grim as they seem

Thought

I didn’t fall asleep but nice story I never thought this might actually work 😊

There is always a way of thinking outside of the box and not getting trapped with the only choices you were thought to have. Look at the brighter side.

Outside the box

Sometimes my option isn’t always the one I think I see before me.

Tasks

I learned that sometimes in life you can come across difficult tasks that seem almost too complicated to understand or unsolvable. When facing a hard choice, remember to take a step back to think and choose the path that is best, maybe even abnormal.

July 2

I learned that there are not only two options for everything. We must seek the few ways that will help us out of some difficult situations we will have to face in life.

confused.

a boy i really like keeps bringing my mood to more of a stressful tone than a happy tone. but i don’t want to leave, yet sometimes i think i should. any suggestions?

Boys

A boy keeps on making me more and more stressed. I can’t sleep without thinking about him at night.

We only control ourselves

We cannot control the choices others give us, instead, we must learn that freedom is the ability to cope with those choices and to know that we can always control ourselves.

Choose Wisely

I should always think a higher thought before making a decision.

Very calming

I felt calm, and I slept peacefully while listening to this.

It was wonderful just the Music and the Story werde making my day so much better

That you can get thru every situation if you stay calm and focused.

July 20

I learned that no matter how difficult or uncomfortable things can get there is always a way to move past and over come it.

Options

It was interesting lost myself for a few

You decide how to react.

I learn never to give up on your problems.

Stop repeating the same patterns think outside if the box for a new way

🙂

There are often more options than you think

Wonderful less tension and anxiety, negativity has flowed outward

Ok

Think outside the box.

It is better to be honest and karma will get you back when you aren’t looking.

Amazing story! I learned that there is always another way

To think outside the box, explore different options while i might be limited.

I found myself.

If you speak up loud enough for what’s right. Make amends. Forgive yourself. And forgive others. You can change not just you. But the world.

I learned that there are always move options than those that meet your eyes

Nothing

Think outside of what you think you have. Create your own path by expanding your

Outside the box-thinking, I want more!

That in life we are not limited only to the obvious choices

Don’t think you know all the options. Always another way.

Good

I learned to expand my mind to discover new solutions

Step back and analyze, you can solve anything

Felt ok

Do what is right

I fell asleep so fast.

To find a way to overcome the challenges of getting my work completed on time.

Think outside the box

You always have a choice, even if you feel cornered.

Resolve the problem by seeing it from outside.

Mmm

think outside the box. don't feel limited to the options your given.

There is always another way in situations

That i could think

you can always overcome a problem as long as you think creatively

Take more than the known approaches to a situation.

What you see in front of you is not the only thing you can act on.

Feeling in peace

there’s more than we think

in life it is not all black and white, things we don’t always notice are happening against us some way and we may not be able to realize it until we see it. there are more options than what you may think at first. truly push yourself to think bigger, examine situations deeply when you feel against yourself. this meditation made me really happy discovering the fact that we have more than what meets the eye, or mind at first.

When in tough situations, try thinking outside the box

There is more then just obvious choices to every situation. Be calm your choices

There is always an option outside of the result created in your mind.

Expose the cheater

I wouldn’t have thought to think past the three options and would’ve chosen the one exposing the man as a cheat. I don’t see what would’ve been wrong with that

Always something more

There will always be more options to anything in life we just have to let our mind be opened to the countless possibilities

Find a way

I learned that if I focus on the negative then it’s hard to see other options. If you’re positive you can always find a way!

I learned that

I learned that just because I am presented with with three choices I can always creat my own path to make a fourth choice and so on never feel stuck to always make my own way to get through tough situations to push through

Peace

I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress when it comes to making really tough decisions and it’s been what has been keeping me up. This story really helped me find peace that there is another way to find peace with people and myself.

It is not necessary for one to conform to be happy. Happiness is a state of being, not simply a societal norm.

overcoming problems and stress.

I learned that not to only think on the possible solutions but think beyond that, think out of the box.

Story Thinking Outside the Box

To have an open mind and never relate to others because you only know where you come from

Thinking outside the box

I learned that if thinking outside the box in a tough situation can lead to the light that shines in a dark room.

Moral of the story

No matter how difficult a situation may feel, there’s always a way out. Don’t let fear blind you.

There is always another option

I really enjoyed this story, all too often I find myself almost purposely putting myself in a box. Refusing to see that there may be other options because that other option may be a longer journey or may be an unknown scarier path. Essentially an excuse not to move forward and stay in my suffering.. what a lightbulb!

I felt intrigued, I noticed myself picturing how the pebbles looked on the ground & the bag’s look.

I learned to always remember that there are more options than what is presented to me as long as I keep my mind open.

Having choices!

Today I have learned that it’s ok to make choices outside the immediate options we think we only have. I always have a choice on how to let the things affect me.

Looking outside the box

It is possible to overcome a situation that seems to have only a limited amount of options by thinking outside the box. Use your imagination.

Who am i

I felt at peace! I liked this meditation, we ask ourselves who we are and subconsciously we know who we are but consciously we doubt ourselves. This meditation helps take some of the doubt out of our consciousness.

Hopeful

This story gave me hope in my situation as a Frontline worker in Covid 19

Taking a bath

I learned that I do this sometimes I love the black and white pebble example Also reminds me that not everything is black and white

Another way

I learned there will always be another way to do things. It just takes creativity and out of the box thinking.

Life is full of choices

No matter what life throws at you there always options. You just have to be able to see to them.

Very Beautiful

This was a pleasant experience. I had heard the same story many a times but never related to it in the way that conquering a tough situation is possible by thinking outside the box. Thank you, Cassandra!

Loved it

This is such a valuable lesson to learn. So simple but true for many situations.

Very true

It’s such a simple lesson that most people just seem to pass by. I always feel like there’s only one choice for me to pick, but thinking back I realize that there wasn’t just one. Life could be so much easier if we all learned from this story: there’s always another way.

There’s always more than one choice

I can choose a different perspective on regaining my strength in recovery from COVID.

Feeling great

I’m learning to let go and relax and always remain calm. Whatever issues come up continue to be strong and over come the issues

choices

there’s always choices and options you can choose from for whatever life throws your way

Options

That there are more options then the one that are presented to us

An important lesson

There can be many ways to tackle any given situation , it may not be clear to us in the beginning

I can only smile

I wonder if I can apply that the moral of that story to aspects of my life.

There’s more to every side.

I need to think bigger. Especially when I feel hopeless. Or as if the only option not available is the only one I want. Be creative and think holistically.

Overwhelmed

I just feel all alone , like I have no one or like no one really care .

I feel financially

Used by my boyfriend and he nceku loved me for me it’s all about me satisfying his needs only these never love

Empowered

I have to get out of my self made box, to figure out some deep rooted problems.

Options

There are always more options than you think; not just black and white. Going through a very tough decision right now so this was interesting.

Debit

I Am lot of debit trying to sort it out it’s really hard going making me think about the pebble and I am thinking a away out it does take hard work and dedication and doing a lot medication can really help slow your mind down thanks for the quote of the day

Staying Calm

When you stay calm in the midst of having to make choices, the real answer will reveal itself.

Choices

A good reminder that we are what we choose and how we respond to situations.

Its not that bad

Life is not as bad as we think it is. We need to take time out to reflect

There is never only one option

There is never only one option in any situation we are in there is always a better way

It was an ok story.

There are always options. Just need to step back and ruminate on all possible solutions

hidden options

there is at times a hidden option which will benefit you best

Not always

Sometimes there aren’t solutions. Sometimes there isn’t an option at all. Just do your best to act with grace through it all and do the next right thing.

I am going through a situation where my heart loves this lost soul but the lost soul can not tell

The truth even if you have her on video.now I’ve seen supernatural before and can believe it wasn’t her but wouldn’t she act not so defensive if she claims to know how real the supernatural is I try everything and it’s just lie after lie to talking me down saying I’m crazy well I know that’s not true

It was different. But you gotta remember.

It's your story, your the only one that makes it. You gotta choose the road, nobody else. You live your life the way you want it to be. Positive vibes always.

How do we know what to do next

In a situation where you can’t tell your next step where you feel like all hope is fading away try to find where it all started from maybe that would give you a firmer purpose to hold on

Thinking...

Good moral of the value of thinking outside the box. Also good sub-morals for: 1) quick thinking can save your life 2) staying in the moment and thinking can change your life for the better 3) do not borrow money you cannot payback, it may cost you more than you think. 4)it is wise to pay close attention when dealing with sharks, what you think & what they say they are doing may not be the same thing. 5) some people think better under pressure. There may be others but that is all I can ‘think’ of... ✌🏼😏🍀

Thinking Outside the Box

Horrible story! It left me feeling angry and did not help me sleep. The daughter succumbed to deceit instead of revealing it. That’s not thinking outside of the box at all!! In fact she shrank the box by not thinking about the greater good for all which would have been to expose the old man as a liar and a cheat so others would not fall prey to him let alone her and her father. She could’ve pulled out both black pebbles instead of just one. Dumb story.

Outside the Box

I didn't really learn anything. I was relaxed though. Just a different way of saying think outside the box.

Thinking outside the box

A relaxing 3 minute get away with a moral. It was okay. I liked the background sounds and noises. Wouldn’t want to listen again, though.

I’m so exhausted

To appreciate everything! And apparently I need to have time to myself.

White Pebble

Understanding that to expose the man would have helped others as well as herself and her father, I also understand that that is not the point 😊! Sometimes I feel trapped in situations and think that I have exhausted all options, but I have the power to choose something different that will help me through these situations. Most of my struggles come through my relationships with family. I feel like the whipping post most of the time, even when I have no dog in the fight I still end up with the blame landing on me. My dog can lift her leg to the post and we can walk on! Loved the story 🥰

What I learned

I learned that I don’t always have to give into nor, play along with things that won’t work out for me. I just have to think outside the box.

Choices

I have a choice how I react and it may not be the obvious choice.

Thinking outside the box

This story taught me that by thinking creatively it is possible to come up with more options than those initially on the table. Using this approach one can easily find the best Way out of a cat situation I’m sure there have been times when I have both stuck between picking between two bad options. When I am in these types of situations, I have a tendency to dwell I know how lousy my options are rather than creatively thinking of other ones . After hearing the story I have decided to make it a personal goal to be more like a businessman‘s daughter and think outside the box. Thank you to all the folks who work for the set up for putting this track together. Through the story you have reminded me of the value I’m finding my own creative solutions to problems rather than designing myself to the options which others present to me. This lesson he’s very applicable to my own life. I have a disability, for example. This means and require help with many activities I am very fortunate to have many people in my life call me who are willing to get me the support I need. However, sometimes I received advice from well-meaning loved ones that is not realistic for me to follow through on. In the situations it can sometimes be a challenge to admit but these suggestions, well offered with the best of intentions , May not work for me. This story reminds me that I have the power to take what I have been given by the environment and by others. I can use these tools to create solutions which better suit me rather than settling for those of others which do not work. Thank you for reminding me of the power of creativity to solve my own problems. Thank you also for causing me to reflect on how this idea can be applied to my own life. I am also grateful for the community on this app. Thank you all for taking the time to read this post.  I hope you are all OK, happy, And well. 

Out of the box

I can learn to be patient and think outside the box for solutions to situations that arise that are uncomfortable for me. (I.e. my mom)
