The things we’ve always done won’t get us to a place we’ve never been. We have to think outside the box, but the problem is the box is magnetic, we are by default pulled back into the status quo, old and comfortable thinking patterns. What do you do when you feel called to something outside the “box”, and you are not even sure what it is, you just know it’s not in the “box?” How do we break free from the pull of the box and soar into orbit. David and Donna talk about the fuel necessary to break out of the box. Sometimes getting “outside the box” requires new frameworks, new paradigms, new learning.

We are motivated by our emotions, by our needs, but most effectively by our passions. We can live a joyful life when we are motivated by our anticipation of the fulfillment of our vision. Re-fire your passion and your motivation will ignite.
