What Innovation Can Do To Your Life

Morning Inspiration!

Everyone has talent, yet most of us think they don't. The power of innovation. Have you ever marvelled at someone's creative prowess? Guess what, you can create and innovate too. It will take time. Yeah! But everyone is born creative. The box of crayons in kindergarten was not limited to those who possessed potential; because the truth is, everybody has potential.

I suppose you know how long it takes to learn how to ride a bike or how to drive a vehicle or to never commit the same mistake again? It's the same with innovation. It takes a bit of practice and a lot of time before the mind function called innovation comes easily anytime you called on it.

Don't listen to what other people say. Follow the beat of your own drum. Allowing for the input of other people will only bring cacophony to the music you are trying to make. If you have an original idea, don't waste your time and effort trying to make people understand. They won't. Thus, the help you will probably get is most likely to come in the form of negative feedback. If all those geniuses listened to their peers, we would probably still be living in the middle ages.

Spend time on it. I cannot stress that enough. Perhaps, do not mistake this tip to tell you to quit your day job entirely. Do not. This involves some tricky time management but with a little discipline, you'll be able to squeeze both in.

Find your own style. You can always tell a Van Gogh from a Matisse. You'll know Hemingway wrote something by the choice of words on the paper. So it is the same with you. People will appreciate your innovation more because it is uniquely yours and that no one else would have thought of what you were thinking. That will let people see how valuable an asset you are.

Don't hide behind nifty gadgets or tools. You don't need the most expensive set of paints to produce a masterpiece. The same way with writing. You don't need some expensive fountain pen and really smooth paper for a bestseller. In fact, J. K. Rowling wrote the first book of the Harry Potter Series on bits of tissue. So what if you've got an expensive SLR camera if you're a crappy photographer? Who cares if you've got a blinging laptop if you can't write at all? The artist actually reduces the number of tools he has as he gets better at his craft; he knows what works and what doesn't.

Without passion, nothing works. What's it that wakes you up in the mornings? What's it that keeps the flame burning? What is the one thing that makes you feel like you're dead if you don't do? Sometimes people with talent are overtaken by the people who want it more. Think of the hare and the tortoise. Ellen Degeneres once said that if you're not doing something that you want to do, then you don't really want to do it. And that's true. Sometimes you just want something so bad you become a virtual unstoppable. And that is passion. Passion will keep you going.

I suppose that this tip helps bring more innovation to your life. Then keep in mind that you're doing these things for your own satisfaction and not anybody else's. Apparently, soon enough they will notice, and everything will snowball from there.

Thank you, and do have a fabulous day for yourself!
