A Note From the Author

I hope that you are inspired, empowered and blessed as you read through the pages of this book. To truly understand your way of thinking is to truly understand ‘self’.  To truly understand ‘self’ is the first step to mastering ‘self’. Once you begin to understand why you think the way that you do and what thinking brings forth success and failure in your life. You will become uncomfortable with the mediocrity and the monotony of the “status quo”.  I have outlined in this book a step-by-step plan to help you understand your thinking as well as behaviors associated with certain types of thinking. 

“Box Thinking” has destroyed men and women since the beginning of time and through its cycle of destruction it continues to do so. The key reason that it continues to destroy us is because in many cases we are totally unaware of its existence. In the words of Muhammad Ali “ You can’t fight what you can’t see”. In essence if you are unaware of the existence of an enemy, the enemy maintains the upper hand.

I have written this book to expose an age old enemy.  This book is entitled “Unwrapping The Box” because my goal is to help you unwrap yourself from the bondage of your box thinking which will ultimately transform you into a soldier of total spiritual, mental and emotional liberation. This book is written and designed to give you the feeling that you and I are sitting down having a conversation. So please have your pencil or pen in your hand. I want to encourage you to underline or highlight all information that applies to you. In fact, by the time that you finish reading this book, it should be marked up with your notes and places where you have underlined information that will benefit you. May your “box thinking” be eliminated from this point forward!!!! Welcome to the next step of your “transformation” and change process. Your purpose is calling you!!!
