We live in a world full of labels. Is it possible that our labels define our thinking as well?
Let me explain. Most of us are limited. In one way or another we are limited. But are we limited because we practice a two dimensional thinking process to our lives.
For example, take the concept of racism and objectification. We objectify people as things and categories.
Linear thinking has its place. It helps in the survival process.

It helps in the ability to discern friend from foe. But like most things in life there are levels to things.
But like most things there is more to the world than the black and white.
A spectrum of color exists, a nuance of opinion and thought that governs the world we exist in.
When reading about some of the most “successful” people in the world, the Richard Bransons’ or Steve Jobs’ of the world, is an impressive lateral thinking mode that they apply to there daily lives.
People who knew Steve Jobs always remarked at how differently he looked at the world.

Richard Branson said his dyslexia allowed him to see things from a different perspective. Allowed him to approach the world from a different vantage point. Most of us get stuck in our worldview.
Like rigor mortis of the mind, our habitual thought patterns put a lasso and a chokehold around our ability to see different vantage points.
I suppose that’s what separates the genius of a Richard Branson from the regular joe.
Next time we decide to make a decision in life whether it be a business decision or a lifestyle choice applying a little creative thought would be prescient
I definitely could use some more divergent thinking, it would of saved me a lot of heartache and time bumping into invisible walls of my own making and choosing.
Imagine constantly hitting your head into walls and being blind to the obvious, but then stepping back and adding perspective.
Wow what a revelation. A new story emerges. Something to think about
