Closet Organizers

Being organized requires no risk, just lots of rubbermaid totes, wire shelves, walk-in closets, and/or garage space. When you have lots of stuff, at some point you want to put it away (unless you surround yourself with all the things you own - right there out in the open, piled on the floor - until you have to build a walking path just to get from the couch to the toilet - I have actually seen that lifestyle and it isn't pretty.)

A large % of humans don't have enough possessions to worry about storage - this is a Western Civilization phenomena. But what about that mention of risk in the first sentence of this reflection. It seems to be completely dis-connected to thoughts about closet organization? See if you can follow this reasoning: Tic-Tac-Toe is the first game humans play that requires organized thinking. And it is interesting to observe that kids quickly learn the ways to block each other, while sacrificing their chance of success. Keep those X's and O's inside one of the 9 squares on the tic-tac-toe game board and your chance of winning diminishes rapidly.

What would happen if you expressed you individuality and used another symbol like Q and placed it outside the box? While your pondering that concept, tip your head over to the right, more, more, more, and try and look upside down at the word "box" and observe it is the word "xoq" in a "flipped on its head world." More about that later. 

In America it is a tradition to spend time packing away the Holiday stuff carefully so next winter it all comes back out to look just like it did in 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 1994, 1993, 1981, 1975, 1974  ...... you get the idea. You do this 'cause Mom did it or you think your supposed to; actually you are sure you are supposed to. But what if ........... what if ........... what if ........... you came out of your cocoon like the caterpillar who crawled into does and "metamorphosized" into an individual who was different, who let go of assumptions, who wrote your own script, who found your Q?

Keep in mind that humans are capable of doing incredible out of the ordinary things. But it seems that they usually only do them at times of sudden shock or trauma; like the time the ordinary Mom picked up the car that rolled on top of her infant to save her child's life. How do we harness this superhuman ability that is built into your DNA.

Think about the following words of wisdom and check back here again and there will be further discourse on what is trapped inside every breathing thing.

"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."  Anaïs Nin

"People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself.  But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates."  Thomas Szasz
