It's impossible to think outside the box, if you're constantly staying inside the same box.
Watching the same kind of stuff.
Reading the same kind of stuff.
Listening to the same kind of stuff.
Hanging out with the same kind of people.
Doing the same kind of stuff.
The stuff you already know.
The stuff that reaffirms your view of the world.
At the end of the day, the only way to think outside the box, is to actually live outside the box.
Outside your box...
... at least every once in a while...
