Think Outside the Box

Listen to the music that your heart plays. Allow it to inspire you and awaken your sense of freedom. Don’t allow the life inside you to become dull. Live with passion. Don’t encapsulate yourself along with your potential. Don’t trap yourself in a box and don’t allow others to trap you in one either. Remember that you are limitless. Create, Innovate and think outside the borders. You can accomplish anything.  The music lies inside all of our hearts us so let the Music Play, giving rhythm to your life. You are the conductor of the grand symphony of your life. Rock on!

(Espanol)
Think Outisde the Box-

Este dicho significa pensar fuera de lo pre establecido, fuera de la norma, de lo acostumbrado, de lo usual. Es fundamental mantener ese espíritu innovador que busca ideas y soluciones diferentes y novedosas. No te encierres dentro de una caja o dejes que otros lo hagan por ti. No encierres tu potencial y no dejes que te limiten. Hay que crear, innovar, pensar por fuera de los bordes, dándole uso a nuestro poder de imaginación. Cualquier cosa se puede lograr, no existen los límites, los marcamos nosotros.

Escucha la música que toca tu corazón. Esa música que despierta tu sensación de libertad y que te inspira. No dejes que la vida que llevas dentro se marchite, apagando tú brillo. Vive con pasión. La música está dentro de todos nuestros corazones solo hay que dejarla salir. Eres el conductor/a de la gran sinfonía de tu vida. Dale ritmo fiera!

Video made from various clips of interviews given by English comedian, actor, radio host, and author, Russell Brand. Very wise words.

This video shows the story of Raimundo a homeless man from Sao Paulo, Brazil. He reminds us to never give up on our dreams and also to never give up on ourselves. He had a passion for writing and he followed it throughout his 35 years living in the streets. His dream was to write a book of his poetry and his life took a turn for the better when he became friends with a young woman willing to help. It’s never too late to make your dreams a reality, don’t give up.

“Dammed be the man who abandons himself. The worse the situation is, never, ever should a man consider it lost.” -Raimundo Sobrinho

Nunca es tarde para convertir tus sueños  en realidad, no te rindas.

“desgraciado es el hombre que se abandona. Lo peor que sea la situación, nunca un hombre debe considerarla perdida.”- Raimundo Sobrinho

There is a real human cost to our excess of technology, in this case it’s mostly cell phones. We constantly change our phones and newer versions pop up almost daily. Use, discard, get new one. Factory workers in China, and in many other parts of the world, are treated just like cell phones, use, discard, get new one. Why is it that Benzene is banned in the west but not in China, are their lives not equally as important? Even thought we might not feel it directly, their suffering also hurts us. We need to raise working conditions for everyone in the world, not just in rich countries. We are all connected. We all need to start living consciously and work to identify the direct and indirect consequences of our actions.
