One of the things that drives me crazy about my 3yo, and also one of the things I admire most about her, is her immense curiosity for physical boundaries. In other words, she likes to break stuff. Give her a CD, and she'll bend it 'til it snaps; if she happens upon a magazine, she'll tear it seven different ways; a new toy rarely lasts. It's the beauty of childhood, right? Nothing is taken at face value, and everything must be tested.
It's one of the many child-like qualities that we should emulate in business.
Now, I would not suggest running around breaking things just for the experience. We already know most of the physical boundaries of our workspaces; but is there room to push these boundaries?
Perhaps today would be a good day to test some limits, question the rules of a relationship, poke outside the lines, just to see what happens.
Sure, you might not find what you are looking for, and sure, some things might get broken in the process; however, at least you will know and understand the bounds a little better.
And who knows? Perhaps there is treasure just beyond the lines. Someone has to find the pearls; it might as well be you.

I’m looking forward to what you have to say on the move and the issues a lot of us face when making changes.
