How to think outside the box:

1. Hold your hands out in front of you with your fingers and thumbs fanned out…
2. Count your finger tips.
3. Reflect on your answer.
4. Now do step 1 over again.
5. Now look beyond your hands.
6. Count your finger tips.
7. Reflect on your answer.

Now which answer gives you more room to work with? Next time, you’re in a rut… do this little exercise. Look beyond the factual answer. Look outside the box. Look beyond the walls. Look into the background. Do whatever it takes to become the one to stand out.

That is creativity.
