Introduction

Life’s Lessons: 7 Steps to Living Outside the Box is a resource designed to help strengthen personal character through practical awareness. These seven steps provide techniques to develop the skills necessary to live a prosperous and rewarding life.

Society today seems to think success is something that should be received as a gift based on an obligation regardless of personal effort, rather than a reward that is accomplished through self-discipline. The success this book can help lead to is not given based on an obligation; instead, it is based on specific action of free will.

These techniques were identified through experience, practical application, research, and prayer. Throughout this book, it can be seen that as we align our thinking and actions with God’s Word, opportunities for growth will lead us into a life full of potential that will bring about changes we would like to see!

Thinking Outside

the Box

Act in unexpected ways

to achieve uncommon results

What does it mean to think outside of the box? Thinking outside the box is a simple phrase that describes the thought process of a person who acts in unexpected ways to achieve results that are uncommon. A box represents a prison that is created by distorted thoughts we accept as normal, which causes us to have a limited viewpoint. The viewpoint we accept will determine the life we live and the amount of effort required to achieve success.

Mental Discipline

Developing Strong Minds

Mature Decisions

What exactly is mental discipline, and why is it important? Selecting success requires mental discipline, which is the process where you develop a strong mind to make mature decisions. Having mental discipline is important because it allows you to see your thought patterns and how those patterns currently cause you to react. Once those patterns are recognized, you can choose appropriate responses going forward.
