A Note From The Author

Life happens to all of us every day and people find themselves either wanting or needing to make positive changes in their lives. 

Some may find a vast divide between where they currently are in life and where they want to be. We have the tendency to seek answers outside of ourselves and many times from other people in an attempt to better ourselves. We in many cases have unknowingly put expectations on ourselves because of the sight we had through the Belief Windows that we were exposed to from a young age. Many times these beliefs that we know have of our own are so limiting and have put us in a box, or we may have allowed other people "that we had given the power to" put us into that box.“Living Outside the Box, The Goal Achievement Strategist's guide to Reaching Your Full Potential” is written as a tool so that people are guided and empowered to take action towards making their dreams and goals into their new reality.

With this book Patricia Jo Grover, “The Goal Achievement Strategist”, takes people beyond the cliche of thinking outside the box. She herself has had a childhood that most people could not conceive let alone believe spent many of her younger years feeling stuck, on the wrong path, and knowing that she wanted more out of life. As she got older, she spent thousands of hours reading self-help books, attending conferences, listening to speakers, and hiring mentors. All this research led her to discover the secret to absorbing the knowledge from other people’s wisdom. For years, she has used what she had learned in her own life and businesses. She now shares her knowledge and wisdom with readers, clients, and audiences to empower them to break the cycles of limiting beliefs while they are solving the Jigsaw Puzzles that are their lives. Living Outside the Box is your personal GPS system to Goal Achievement, and once you have used this system and followed the steps from the dream weaving process, building your S.M.A.R.T.E.R. plan, all you need is the courage and consistency to work it through until Achievement! And guess what once you have gone through the process once it becomes easier to duplicate each time you use the system! The words “Living Outside the Box” always bring a powerful picture to people’s minds. Patricia Jo Grover hopes that picture is the one that her readers, clients, and audiences have of their Goal Achievement and Reaching Their Full Potential!

Introducing a Growth and Gratitude Journal - the perfect companion to Living Outside the Box, The Goal Achievement Strategist's Guide to Reaching Your Full Potential

This powerful tool will aid your personal development journey. With a different thought-provoking topic each day, it encourages you to reflect and write down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By identifying patterns, setting goals, and tracking progress in different areas of your life, such as your emotions, thoughts, physical health, and spirituality, it can help you achieve self-improvement and become the best version of yourself.

In just 30 days of consistent writing, you can develop a powerful habit of reflection and growth.

One of the most useful means for long-term self-development is the systematic use of an ongoing workbook, diary, or journal. Such a journal, thoughtfully done, can provide a structure to assist us in paying closer attention to our lives and in evoking and developing our understanding of ourselves and others. It acts as a reflector of the inner course that we are charting day by day, and can give us the stimulation and support which many seek from the outside world.

The purpose of journal writing is to offer yourself the opportunity to reflect upon the meaning and significance of the events in your life as they apply to your inner self.

The focus of journal writing is on you. This focus can assist the infolding of awareness of new meanings, values, and inter-relationships that you may be discovering in yourself and the world.

The act of presenting your ideas in print forces you to formulate and clarify your thoughts and their accompanying feelings, thus enhancing the power and precision of your own thinking.

When you make a move from simply thinking about something to actually writing it down or typing it out, you are increasing your commitment to your own conscious unfolding.

Writing forces you to discriminate and to choose which of your thoughts are important enough to be documented, thus getting you in better touch with your sense of values, feelings, and struggles.

Once you record your ideas on paper, you do not have to be preoccupied with the thoughts of losing them. The writing makes room for new avenues of thinking that you may not have had time to previously consider.

Writing is an effective yet harmless way of letting steam off by providing you with a fully accepting friend who allows you to discharge your tensions and vent all of your powerful and disruptive emotions.

In addition to the narrative written material about your own thoughts, feelings, and observations, you may also include:

• Drawings or other visual materials such as diagrams, symbols, and pictures, can be useful in clarifying or expressing your ideas.
• Illustrations from magazines or newspapers may capture the thought or image you are writing about.
• Personally meaningful quotations you may have read or heard.
• You may also want to keep a special separate section entitled, Bright Ideas may help you to brainstorm about all the possible alternatives to your problems.
