Norman Vincent Peale - Thinking Outside the Box lyrics

Artist: Norman Vincent Peale

album: Live with Confidence, Vol. 1: Lessons for Living


You know the worst thing about having problems,
And we all have difficulties of one kind or another.
The worst thing is and very often,
People allow themselves to become black mailed by their problems.
Now that may not seem to make much
Sense but think about it for a minute.
Did you ever find yourself worrying as much as having so much problem?
As you do about the problem itself?
Do You get so overwhelmed by its immensity that you
Become sure there's no way out, no way you can solve it.
Do you let it intimidate and overwhelm you?
Well, my friend, you're black mailing yourself as sure as if
Some evil person were holding a terrible threat over your head.
You were so ashamed that you let him go away with it.
You see the trouble is that you start
Thinking the problem is bigger than you are.
Instead of saying I have a problem you decide I am the problem.
Now you know how you should handle a black mailer.
There's only one way,
Stand up to him and say I'm not
Afraid of you or what you know about me.
That; s what you must say to yourself.
There's nothing terrible about
Having problems, nothing to be ashamed of.
It's how you face them and handle them that counts.
Don't be afraid to know yourself,
Don't be afraid to know your problems.
It's only through knowing,
Through facing and understanding
Them that you can begin to solve them.
When you find yourself overwhelm and think there is no
Solution to your problems you may very well be thinking in a box.
Today, one of the most popular past
Times in our country is solving puzzles.
People paid to buy puzzles and sit for hours, solving them as a hobby.
They do it for fun,
When they won't take the time to solve the
Puzzles they create for themselves in their own lives.
There's a puzzle you may have seen,
It's a drawing of a box with some dots in it.
And the idea is to connect all the dots with only four lines.
Well, you can work and work on that puzzle but the only way to solve
It is to draw the lines so they can connect
Outside the box, it's so simple once you realize that.
But if you're thinking inside the box,
You will never find the solution to that puzzle.
Maybe that; s the way it is with your thinking.
Maybe there are solutions you haven't even thought of because you're
Thinking in a box, You've got to approach your problem creatively,
Stop moaning and groaning and
Thinking that they are bigger than you are .
